You’re like a knife ’cause your looks could kill
Hold my breath every time we kiss
Are you feeling it?
Like I, like I feel it
You left your hat on the window sill
You’re coming back, yeah, you always will
Am I crazy babe?
If I say that I crave it
We talk the talk
We’re skin to skin
But you just walk away
And all that I got was
Roses
Don’t mean a thing without emotions
Baby just do it right
Focus
‘Cause I just needed your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight
But all that I got was
Roses
Don’t mean a thing without emotions
Baby just do it right
Focus
‘Cause I just needed your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) oh, oh-ooh
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) oh, oh
Catch a flick maybe we could chill
Next to me but you’re still not here
When I touch you baby
My name will you say it
Between the sheets we ain’t pillow talking
Is it love or are we just fucking
Tell me babe, you can’t keep me waiting
We talk the talk
We’re skin to skin
But you just walk away
And all that I got was
Roses
Don’t mean a thing without emotions
Baby just do it right
Focus
‘Cause I just needed your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight
But all that I got was
Roses
Don’t mean a thing without emotions
Baby just do it right
Focus
‘Cause I just needed your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) ha, baby

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) ho-oh, ha-ah
