Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Every time I'm walking on my way for feeling free
Someone else is on my way
Everyday they say me "Oh you're so beautiful"
People want to get me
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you ready for me
Really ready for me
Now you are getting the promise land
[Chorus: Repeat Twice]
You really got me now
You really got me
Look the sky 'cause is raining down the fire
You really got me now
You really got me
Come to play 'cause you've got, really got me now
[Verse 2]
Every time I'm talking to my soul so deep inside
Someone wants to talk to me
Now you're setting fire to my little daily life
Play with fire tonight
