dan loves patti
Yum Yum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To have the bed for yourself at night and watch
Your favorite shows
It must be fun to have to face no consequences
When you don't use your common senses
Or you're late coming home
With all the chances that came and went
And you're still alone
You must have known that all it takes is
Some confidence to lose yourself
Of your defenses and to let it go
And you know
That I dream of your love all around me
And you know
That my love for you is extraordinary
And it seems
That all I want is to make you happy
And I know
That all I need is to have you near me
(Repeat chorus)
