If you’re tired of the big so so
Get yourself into some self control
Play the game by putting on the brakes
Slow down and make less mistakes

Nobody lingers like your hands on my heart
Nobody figures like you figured me out
I would be lying if I didn't say to you
No one comes closer don't worry you got it!
(There's fire if you want it let me know,
I'm sick and I'm tired of letting go)

The way I feel when you call my name
Makes me go crazy to sane
The way I feel when you’re close to me
Finally not drifting out to sea

Nobody lingers like your hands on my heart
Nobody figures like you figured me out
I would be lying if I didn't say to you
No one comes closer don't worry you got it!
(There's fire if you want it let me know,
I'm sick and I'm tired of letting go)

It's all in my pocket
I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
I call it, my rocket
Come a little closer, hit the one go sane

Come on now I wish you would
I’m the one who makes you feel good
Never mind those things they say
They don’t know it but I’m here to stay

Nobody lingers like your hands on my heart
Nobody figures like you figured me out
I would be lying if I didn't say to you
No one comes closer don't worry you got it!
(There's fire if you want it let me know,
I'm sick and I'm tired of letting go)

    General Comment:i love in this song how she says "...Makes me go crazy to sane" and she refers back to how love makes her go sane. and most people it would be quite the opposite. I think she sees the insanity as a sane thing. and the insane yet sane thing would obviously be love.

    'Nobody lingers like your hands on my heart
    Nobody figures like you figured me out'

    General Comment:I think this is probably one of the catchiest songs ever. If not THE catchiest song. At least the catchiest chorus.

    General Comment:what's all this about masturbation? uhm ok then, I guess everyone's entitled to think what they want!
    but I adore this song and have always seen it as simply a lovely long song.
    "Nobody lingers like your hands on my heart
    Nobody figures like you figured me out"
    It always reminds me of a guy I was once with who just seemed to know me so well, he seemed to get under my skin without even trying.
    "The way I feel when you’re close to me
    Finally not drifting out to sea"
    and how I felt so safe and secure with him, like nothing else in my world mattered, like finally life was going my way. the "i was lost but now i'm found" kinda idea.
    anyway, that's my personal take on the song and it will always remind me of that particular guy and the hold he had on me *sigh*.

    General Comment:i think it's about not giving into sex and being strong and in controll about that! in my opinion, i don't think it's about masturbation....i thought it was pretty obvious!!!

    General Comment:i think it makes sense to think of it about a love relationship, but having limits and not letting him take her on and just valuing her dignity and her beliefs of not having sex or anything.


    i don't know, it seems to make sense to me! =]

    General Comment:And replying to some comments about this being about masturbation, I don't think so. At least, not the whole song is about that....the ending part, yeah maybe...but all in all, I believe this is just a good ol fashion love song...don't have a hissy fit because its not about masturbation. You'll get over it. Theres plenty of other songs about that....
