Love Song
VanVelzen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pick up the phone
Cause I'm here on my own
In my private twilight zone
I can't recall when
I last had a laugh
And my friends are talking
Behind my back
When they go out without me
Cause I'm kinda stuck
In a broken hearted state
But I don't want to think
That it's too late for you
And I want to make things right
It's a beautiful morning,
The sun is shining down on me and you
And wherever you are now
Won't you listen
When I'm asking you to...
Hold on I'll sing you a little song
I promise to make it short and sweet
Do you like it, will you listen while I
Keep on singing a little love song
I hope it will make you stick with me
Do you like it, will you listen to me now
If I could get it on the radio
Make a hit on the air
So you would hear it everywhere
And you would think
That it is pretty good
'Till your friend told you
And you understood that it's me
And I am hoping
For a new beginning
Sign that says the end
And I would make you
Want to see me again
Oh excuse me I just fantasized
But if you happen to hear it
Won't you listen
When I'm asking you to...
Hold on I'll sing you a little love song
I promise to make it short and sweet
Do you like it, will you listen while I
Keep on singing a little love song
I hope it will make you stick with me
Do you like it, will you listen to me
I'll sing in the street and I'll sing in the car
I'll sing on the bus and I'll sing at the bar
I'll sing it to everyone you'll ever meet
I'll sing for the moon
And I'll sing for the stars
I sing it to Jupiter, Venus and Mars
And hopefully I'll sing
You back to me... oh yeah
Why won't you hold on
I'll sing you a little love song
I promise to make it short and sweet
Do you like it, will you listen while I
Keep on singing a little love song
I hope it will make you stick with me
Do you like it, will you listen to me
Do you like it, will you listen to me
