Come On
Victoria Banks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When it's goin' you can't turn it back
It's a whirlwind twistin' around
And you can't slow it down
Don't speak I know what's on your mind
Just kiss me leave it all behind
There's no use waiting
Or hesitating
[Chorus:]
Come on, come on, come on, come on baby
You got my heart you might as well take it
You're like a hurricane I get caught in
I'm on the edge already falling
What can I say, what can I do
I know, I know you're feeling it too
You drive me crazy
So come on, come on, come on, come on baby
Let go, look into my eyes
Baby let's get pulled into the tide
'Cause we can't deny it
It's something so strong we're never gonna fight it, yeah yeah
[Chorus:]
Come on, come on, come on, come on baby
You got my heart you might as well take it
You're like a hurricane I get caught in
I'm on the edge already falling
What can I say, what can I do
I know, I know you're feeling it too
You drive me crazy
So come on, come on, come on, come on baby
Take a risk, take a chance
Don't let it slip through your hands
Before you know it the moment's gone
So come on come on
[Chorus:]
Come on, come on, come on, come on baby
You got my heart you might as well take it
You're like a hurricane I get caught in
I'm on the edge already falling
What can I say, what can I do
I know I know you're feeling it too
You drive me crazy
So come on, come on, come on, come on,
What can I say, what can I do
I know I know you're feeling it too
You drive me crazy
So come on, come on, come on, come on baby
