Freak
Vendela Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They keep telling, I’m a freak
(I’m a freak)
Kiss goodnight through the phone again
Did you tell ‘em, or pretend
(Did you pretend)
Keep trying hard to make it through
Do you dream of someone new
I hurt you when we hang around
Don’t end up on coldest ground
(Coldest ground)
Awake me
And shake me
I just wanna be like you
Don’t fake me
And break me
Wanna be like everybody else
Else
Wanna be like everybody else
I just wanna be like you
I just wanna be like you
My baby girl will take me home
Even if the trust is gone
(Now it’s gone)
This time it will be the other me
You knew her, you had chemistry
(Chemistry)
Awake me
And shake me
I just wanna be like you
Don’t fake me
And break me
I just wanna be like you
Awake me
And shake me
I just wanna be like you
Don’t fake me
And break me
Wanna be like everybody else
Else
Wanna be like everybody else
Wanna be like everybody else
Else
Wanna be like everybody else
Wanna be like everybody else
