Overload
Zappacosta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can hear your heels clicking on the sidewalk
Beating to the rhythm of my heart
Caught up in you
You're the only one I want
I follow you home every night
Just to make sure that you get there alright
Baby, it's true
Can't think of anything but you

And what I need baby
Is a little bit of sympathy

You go time on my knees
I burn throughout the night
And I can't live without your love
Won't you help me cure this overload
Won't you help me cure this overload

Oh, you got to know
You see me everywhere that you go
Doesn't that say something (yes baby)
Obsession's taken hold of me, yeah
All because of you
You've got to see me through
Can't take another night alone without you
Honey, it's true
I am so hung up on you

What I really need baby is a little of your company
You go time on my knees
I burn throughout the night
And I can't live without your love
Won't you help me cure this overload
Won't you help me cure this overload

And what I need baby is a little of your sympathy
You go time on my knees
I burn throughout the night
And I can't live without your love
Won't you help me cure this overload
Won't you help me cure this overload
(Tell me baby, what we need?) won't you help me cure this overload
(I got you everything you want baby) won't you help me cure this overload
(Your cure depends on me) won't you help me cure this overload
Won't you help me cure this overload (tell me baby, what you need)
Won't you help me cure this overload (come on, baby, come on)
