Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You met your match and there ain't no better

I know you tried hard, but there's no better

Nobody love you like me and you know better

Nobody do it like me and you know better

You try the fast wine, but the slow better

I know you fast wine, but the slow better

Na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na

The beauty of our shadows

The flicker of electricity

I watch you like a candle

I'm hoping that you pour all on me

Committed to your shrine

I just wanna feel your essence in me

(Mm-mmh)

And I know we both deserve it

You met your match and there ain't no better

I know you tried hard, but there's no better

Nobody love you like me and you know better

Nobody do it like me and you know better

You try the fast wine, but the slow better

I know you fast wine, but the slow better

Na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na

Hold me (hold me)

Steady and slowly (steady and slowly, yeah)

Unholy, unruly

For my eyes only (for my eyes only)

Mmh, mon cherie

You're my one piece, no side piece

My love is more, I like peace

I fly to Greece, but you on steeze (come, come, come)

Come, come here now, stranger

Gimme that sense of danger, yeah, yeah, yeah

I've known you forever

Make me laugh, think you so clever, ha-ha

Can't believe we only met one night

Take up so much space in my mind

(Mm-mmh, mm-mmh)

And I know we both deserve it, na-na-na

You met your match and there ain't no better

I know you tried hard, but there's no better

Nobody love you like me and you know better

Nobody do it like me and you know better

You try the fast wine, but the slow better

I know you fast wine, but the slow better

Na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na
