No No No
Yeah Yeah Yeahs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I'm frozen like a soldier
Don't know where it stays all over the place
Time froze like an ocean
Don't know the taste of a never ending ache

No no no no
Why I hurry when I'm home
I hurry when I'm home, I'll go
No no no
Why I hurry when I'm home, I'll go
Oh I'll go

It's really not bad not worse than you thought
He'll never come back, he's the man you dropped
He'll never come back, he's the man you loved

It's really not bad not worse than you thought
He'll never come back, he's the man you dropped
He'll never come back, he's the man you loved

I told her, I told her, I told her, I'll go




I told her, I told her, I told her...
No no no no no

Nadia


on "date with the night"

I got a date with the night
Burnin' out my finger
Gonna catch the kids dry
Gonna walk on water
Buyin' out the fight
We're sweatin' in the winter
Both thighs squeeze tight

Choke choke choke choke choke choke choke choke choke choke...

Don't tell me to fix her
Don't tell me to fix her
Just take a bite
No hangin' no picture
Flyin' out my sight
Droppin' brides at the altar
Both thighs squeeze tight

Choke choke choke choke choke choke choke choke choke choke...

I'll set you I'll set it off
I'll set you I'll set it off
I'll set you I'll set it off off

I'll set you I'll set it off
I'll set you I'll set it off
I'll set you I'll set it off
I'll set you I'll set it off off off

Buyin' out the fight
Gonna walk on water
Gonna catch the kids dry
Gonna bend my finger
Flyin' out my sight
We're sweatin' in the winter


Both thighs squeeze tight
Both thighs squeeze tight
