Waterloo Revival Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My, my, my, my hot mess.
You know how to play it just right. (right) Take it nice & slow, with the candles burning low.
There you go (oh), setting this house on fire.
Just lock the door, (oh) and make these flames go higher.
No I don't don't wanna miss a thing.
I love the way you work the room.
Baby, the way that you move has got me losing control.
Well you're a good girl, bringing out your wild side.
My, my, my, my eyes, follow you like a spotlight.
watch your skin glow, with the candles burning low.
There you go (oh), setting this house on fire.
Just lock the door, (oh) and make these flames go higher.
No I don't don't wanna miss a thing.
I love the way you work the room.
Baby, the way that you move has got me losing control.
Baby tonight, you're putting on a show & I'm sitting front row.
Biting your lip, slow dancing to your favorite song.
Mmm.
Well come a little closer, let's turn these two shadows into one.
There you go (oh), setting this house on fire.
Just lock the door, (oh) and make these flames go higher.
No I don't don't wanna miss a thing.
I love the way you work the room.
Baby, the way that you move has got me losing control.
Baby tonight, you're putting on a show & I'm sitting front row."
