Figure You Out

on: Apr/14/04 and its been viewed 1,622 times

You just know it’s lust love when your guy says, “Baby - this song has you n’ me written all over it!”.

Oh yea, baby . . .

I like your pants around your feet
I like the dirt that’s on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you’re looking up at me
You’re like my favourite damn disease

And I love the places that we go
And I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can’t say no
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose

Ooooh
And now I know who you are
It wasn’t that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn’t that hard
Just to figure you out

I like the freckles on your chest
And I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you’re not impressed,
While you put me to the test
I like the wine stains on your dress

And I love the way you pass the check
And I love the good times that you wreck
And I love your lack of self respect
While you’re passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck

And now I know who you are
It wasn’t that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn’t that hard
Just to figure you out

I love your pants around your feet
And I love the dirt that’s on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you’re looking up at me
You’re like my favourite damn disease

And I hate the places that we go
And I hate the people that you know
And I hate the way you can’t say no
Too many long lines in a row
I hate the powder on your nose

And now I know who you are
It wasn’t that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn’t that hard
Just to figure you out

    Heh, Figured you out is my 2 year old’s favorite song. Soon as she starts repeating the words then we’ll have to stop playing it, lol.

    Nothing wrong with the song. :)

    it’s about a crack whore. Funny anyone would choose that as a song about them.

    Will you be dancing to this at your wedding?

    See? It’s all in the interpretation, isn’t it? Here I thought it was about kinky sex ;)

    I’ll keep my version of it ;)
