Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I can't meet your eyes
I think that you know why
Don't even gotta try
You got me paralyzed
Want you to satisfy
Each one of my desires
Now, you've got my heart racing
Knees weak, got me feeling everything
So frustrating when you ignore it
Open your mind
Now I've lost all my senses
Keep on losing track of time
You get me so excited,
Baby don't leave me behind
I'll do whatever it takes,
I just want you to realize, oh
That you got it, uh, yeah, you got it
The second we met, I knew you had it
Yeah you got it, uh, yeah, you got it
And whatever it takes, you always have it
You got it, uh, yeah, you got it
From the moment we met, I knew you had it
Cause you got it, uh, yeah, you got it
Whatever I want, you always have it
Like a pawn in your game
I let you play me
As if it means something
I get all my hopes up
Like you'd be pretending
You can't be bothered
Did I imagine it?
Am I making it up?
I'm losing my mind
I guess I made a mistake
To think I was worth your time
Not ready to forget it
Oh baby don't leave me behind
I'll do whatever it takes
If only you could realize, oh
That you got it, uh, yeah, you got it
The second we met, I knew you had it
Cause you got it, uh, yeah, you got it
And whatever it takes, you always have it
You got it, uh, yeah, you got it
From the moment we met, I knew you had it
Yeah you got it, uh, yeah, you got it
Whatever I want, you always have it
You got it, uh, yeah, you got it
From the second we met, I knew you had it
Yeah you got it, uh, yeah, you got it
And whatever it takes, you always have it, yeah
You got it, uh, yeah, you got it
From the moment we met, I knew you had it
Cause you got it, uh, yeah, you got it
Whatever I want, you always have it
