Effortless
Zaha Zagic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time I call you you are not at home
Every time I call you you are not at home
Every time I see you you are not alone
Every time, every time not alone
Every time I miss you you have someone new
Every time I miss you you have someone new
Every time I love you you just run away
Every time, every time you run away
You wanna my attention I know that's what you like
Looking for somewhere to stay for a few nights
You want me to hold you tonight
You want to pretend you are mine
Too tired for that shit I don't really feel
I need my hands on the steering wheel
We are repeating the cycle
Addicted to diet coke
I just really like your smile
Once upon time I treated you right
But last time you friend call me said he still let you cry at night
I just wanna say I love you one more time
I know my touch will let you lose your mind
Happy valentines day it's not a game
Or maybe it's just a game for you
I just want you to call me when I am not at home
I just want you to call me when I am not at home
I just want you to see me when I am not alone
Every time, every time I am not alone
Do you ever miss me when I have someone new
Why should I ever miss you when I have someone new
I just want you to love me then I run away
Oh baby loved me twice one more time then I run away
I just wanna say I love you one more time
Or maybe I just really like your smile
But last time your friend said
He still let you cry at night
Happy valentine's day let's play a game
Once upon I time I treated you right
I miss your touches, your kisses
Everything
You wanna my attention I know that's what you like
Looking for somewhere to Stay for a few nights
You want me to hold you tonight
You want to pretend you are mine
Too tired for that shit I don't really feel
I need my hands on the steering wheel
We are repeating the cycle
Addicted to diet coke
Every time you call me I am not at home
Every time you call me I am not at home
Every time you see me I am not alone
Every time, every time not alone
You wanna my attention I know that's what you like
Looking for somewhere to Stay for a few nights
You want me to hold you tonight
You want to pretend you are mine
Too tired for that shit I don't really feel
I need my hands on the steering wheel
We are repeating the cycle
Addicted to diet coke
Every time you miss me I have someone new
Every time you miss me I have someone new




Every time you love me I just run away
Every time every time I run away
