Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Initiate radar)

Your eyes say it all (all)
All
They're fixed upon an object of desire
You can't control (control)
No (no)
But gravity compels you to ignite (ignite)
And explode (explode)
Oh
'Til our time and space combine you'll fantasize (size)
The unknown
Ooh

Girl, it's taking off the ground
You know how I put it down
Have you seeing stars baby

This is the big bang so unpredictable
Sex, love, and drama, who's in control?
Mars versus Venus, yeah
But when the worlds collide
This is the big bang
Step into the ring of fire
Sex, love and drama, who can tame desire?
Mars versus Venus

Seduce and analyze
Yeah
Objective is to conquer deep
And I, make paradise
Girl, it's taking off the ground
You know how I put it down
Have you seeing stars, oh

This is the big bang so unpredictable
Sex, love, and drama, who's in control? (oh, oh)
Mars versus Venus, yeah (oh, Mars versus Venus, Mars versus Venus)
But when the worlds collide
This is the big bang (yeah)
Step into the ring of fire (fire, yeah)
Sex, love and drama, who can tame desire? (know that I'm winning)
Mars versus Venus (oh, I know you see red, baby)

This is the big bang so unpredictable
Sex, love, and drama, who's in control? (gotta love thing, no)
Mars versus Venus (Mars versus Venus)
But when the worlds collide
This is the big bang
Step into the ring of fire
Sex, love and drama, who can tame desire?
Mars versus Venus

Oh, pitch black
Lost amidst the galaxy between the sheets
Want that only you and I
Generate when we collide
Hold that
Don't make my emotions peak
If I let go then I'll be weak
Your control is my defeat
I repeat never, never, never, never
Will I give up no, no, no, no
(I ain't givin' up, no)

This is the big bang so unpredictable
Sex, love, and drama, who's in control? (so unpredictable)
Mars versus Venus, yeah (oh, Mars versus Venus, Mars versus Venus)
But when the worlds collide
This is the big bang
Step into the ring of fire (she on fire)
Sex, love and drama, who can tame desire?
Mars versus Venus (yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah, ooh)

This is the big bang so unpredictable (this ain't a love thing, no)
Sex, love, and drama, who's in control?
Mars versus Venus (Mars versus Venus, if you wanna feel it)
But when the worlds collide
This is the big bang (ooh, catch it in orbit)
Step into the ring of fire (fire)
Sex, love and drama, who can tame desire?
Mars versus Venus

But when the worlds collide

I don't know if I win
But I know that I wanna do it again (Mars versus Venus)

I don't know if I win (but when the worlds collide)
But I know that I wanna do it again, yeah
I don't know if I win (world collide)
But I know that I wanna do it again, yeah (oh, oh-oh, oh yeah)
(Love and desire)




I don't know if I'll ever win (desire)
Mars versus Venus
