Song Lyrics

Hey, yeah, yeah

Above the fray, my heart got tucked away
And I finally found some peace
I lost the taste for it, the pain and the waste of it
Love just wasn't meant for me

Just when I thought the coast was finally clear
You come busting in the door
And pull me outta here
Now there's no denying, baby, what you're doing to me
Honey, I ain't lying, 'cause baby feels so good to me

I did my best to put you to the test
And I brought out my darkest stuff
I pulled in tight, pushed back with all my might
And still you couldn't get enough

My last defense is slipping out of reach
You got me where you want me
Now I'm fallin' into the breach
Now there's no denying, baby, what you're doing to me
Ain't no use in trying, 'cause baby, you're so good to me

After all that Sturm and Drang
I gave up long ago
One too many times around
And nothing left to show
You got that something, baby
That shakes me to the core
Pulled me straight out by the roots
And got me howling more

Just goes to show
No way you'll ever know
What love's got up her sleeve
You think the game's up
Heading home and guess what?
She shows up with a sweet reprieve
No use in wondering if it's real or if it's not
With nothing left to lose you might as well give it a shot

Now there's no denying, baby, what you're doing to me
Ain't no use in trying, 'cause baby, we were meant to be

Meant to be
Meant to be, yeah
