Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Show me baby
Tell me I'm okay
Cause lately I've been losing sleep and smoking all day
She said I dont blame you
Let's just keep on moving
I don't wanna play this game if I keep losing
Girl I know I never do things right
Girl I know I'm often out of sight
But with you I get a feel inside
Entertain me with your blinding eyes
So tell me is it fine if I
Go ahead and tell you what it's like
To be dark and be in need of light
And be by your side, hey

Where were you, where were you, where were you girl all my life
It's in the way that you make me feel so damn alive
And I hope, and I hope, and I hope that you'll be mine
You get me started baby

You get me started baby
Girl I feel your heart so close to mine
You get me started baby
Girl I feel your heart so close to mine

Tell me you love me, oh tell me you love me
Want you to prove it here tonight
Make you feel like it's alright
The way you movin your body and tellin me what makes you crazy
I'm lovin the feeling i wanna kiss you and a lot more baby

Girl I know I never do things right
Girl I know I'm often out of sight
But with you I get a feel inside
Entertain me with your blinding eyes
So tell me is it fine if I
Go ahead and tell you what it's like
To be dark and be in need of light
And be by your side, hey

Where were you, where were you, where were you girl all my life
It's in the way that you make me feel so damn alive
And I hope, and I hope, and I hope that you'll be mine
You get me started baby

You get me started baby
Girl I feel your heart so close to mine




You get me started baby
Girl I feel your heart so close to mine
