Caught In Your Trap
The Pigeon Detectives Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know that theres one thing on my mind
But I just don't care, take off underwear
Everybody's saying that you're mine
But you get around, I've seen you in town

And I just can't get you off my head
And I didn't want you there in the first place
Should I repeat what I just said?
No you don't care, no you don't care

It started with just a little dance
But then you took my hand, knew I'd understand
I wasn't sure if I should take my chance
But then you gave a grin so, I just gave in

And I just can't get you off my head
And I didn't want you there in the first place
Should I repeat what I just said?
No you don't care, no you don't care

I know I'll get caught up in your traps
Sometime, but I'll be fine
I know I'll get caught up in your traps
Sometime, but I'll be fine

I know I'll get caught up in your traps
Sometime, but I'll be fine
I know I'll get caught up in your traps
Sometime, but I'll be fine

And I just can't get you off my head
And I didn't want you there in the first place
Should I repeat what I just said?
No you don't care, no you don't care

You tell me you want me, then we both get in to a fight
You lay there complaining and I know I won't sleep tonight




You tell me that you've been here once before
You said that I made you walk in to a door
