Tink Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Would you do the same for me (x2)

[Verse 1]
I see I need someone crazy for my love
For my love (x2)
I need someone that’ll meet me there if I jump
If I jump (x2)

[Bridge]
Would you dive to the bottom of the ocean, the ocean for me
If the cops came running and I had no time
(It all depends on you)
Will you be a fool for your lady
I just want somebody thats crazy for my love

[Chorus]
Cause whether I’m down or whether I’m up
Going through things, you know it can get tough
Can I count on you, can I count on you
And if I pull the trigger will you bust back
You ain’t gotta ask, you know I’m gonna blast
Can I count on you, Can I count on you

To do the same for me (x2)
Would you do the same for me (x2)

[Verse 2]
Cause baby, you gotta be ready
Living this lifestyle
I say baby, you gotta protect me
Ooh cause it gets so wild
On my side will you ride
Ride, whether I’m wrong or I’m right yeah

[Bridge]
Would you dive to the bottom of the ocean, the ocean for me
If the cops came running and I had no time
(It all depends on you)
Will you be a fool for your lady
I just want somebody thats crazy for my love

[Chorus]
Cause whether I’m down or whether I’m up
Going through things, you know it can get tough
Can I count on you, can I count on you
And if I pull the trigger will you bust back
You ain’t gotta act, you know I’m gonna blast
Can I count on you, Can I count on you

To do the same for me (x2)
Would you do the same for me (x2)
