Undertow lyrics

Silly me, look what I did again

I found what I want

Is what I cannot have

I didn't mean to be so predictable

But I blame it all on who made you irresistible

And it isn't something I need

'til you tell me I can't

Why wear my heart on my sleeve

When it looks so good in your hand

My heart breaks in a heart beat

And you storm me when you come and go

The taste of something so sweet should have

Warned me 'bout the undertow

Oh, I couldn't find a better man to let me go

Little girl, I don't know why you stay

If I had a feather for every time daddy said that I could fly away

Old habits are so hard to break

It'd be a shame to stop now that I've started to make really good mistakes

And I don't know why I must ask

For the forbidden fruit

I saw the snake in the grass

But I had bitten too soon

My heart breaks in a heart beat

And you storm me when you come and go

The taste of something so sweet should have

Warned me 'bout the undertow

Oh, I couldn't find a better man to let me go

I should have seen you coming in

Should recognize the signs a wave's gonna break

Now, I've given in, why fight it when

I'm resigned to simply live in your wake

Your wake

Heart breaks in a heart beat

And you storm me when you come and go

The taste of something so sweet should have

Warned me 'bout the undertow

Oh, I couldn't find a better man to let me go

No no no no

I couldn't find a better man to let me go
