GOLD
Victoria Justice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But these butterflies I can’t ignore
'Cause every time that I look at you
Know we’re in a catch twenty-two
We’ve been friends for so long but I
Need to tell you what’s on my mind
I’m sick and tired of playing games
I know you inside out so I’m asking now
Take a chance on me
How much clearer can I be?
Hey, boy, watcha gonna do?
If you want me like I want you, then man up and make your move
I’m gold, gold
You, me, good as can be, want to be more than your company
So bet your money on me
I’m gold, gold
Do I really need to spell it out?
My heart skips when you're around
I got everything that you need
So come on baby, get close to me
So confused that I'm not surprised
From greater bells and rolled the dice
Know all your moves, don't know why I fall
Should put me out but I want it all
I know you inside out so I’m asking now
Take a chance on me
How much clearer can I be?
Hey, boy, watcha gonna do?
If you want me like I want you, then man up and make your move
I’m gold, gold
You, me, good as can be, want to be more than your company
So bet your money on me
I’m gold, gold
Na ra ta la la
I’m gold, gold
Na ra ta la la
I’m gold, gold
Been too cool just to tell you straight out
But by now I wish you figured it out, I wish you figured it, I wish you figured it, I wish ya
You’re not a fool you see what I’m about
So by now I think you figured it out, I think you figured it out, I think you figured it out, I think ya!
Hey, boy, watcha gonna do?
If you want me like I want you, then man up and make your move
I’m gold, gold
You, me, good as can be, want to be more than your company
So bet your money on me
I’m gold, gold
Na ra ta la la
I’m gold, gold
Na ra ta la la
I’m gold, gold

She's so talented and beautiful. I hate that her career didn't take off. If she releases more music I'm going to support the hell out of her!
