Lyrics

Beautiful, you're not mine

Expressing that the person addressed is not romantically involved

You can't stop and it's a crime

Highlighting the inability to prevent certain actions, implying wrongdoing

We're gonna blow our cover

Suggesting a risk of exposing a secret or hidden aspect of the relationship

Bound to surrender, unless we

Inevitable submission or giving in, unless a specific condition is met


Keep it, keep it cool

Repetition emphasizing the need to maintain composure and not let emotions escalate

Keep it, cool

-

Keep it, keep it cool

-

Keep it, keep it cool

-

'Round and 'round inside our heads

Describing a circular, unproductive thought pattern and the frustration of being absent

We're going nowhere

-

"Focusing is hard" you're telling me

-

'Cause I'm not there

-

This ain't no coincidence

Stating that current circumstances are not mere chance but deliberate

Taking all I've got

Acknowledging the impact on oneself of the deliberate actions mentioned earlier

I almost surrendered

Almost giving in to a challenging situation

Why must we?

Questioning the necessity or reason for facing the challenges


Keep it (keep it), keep it cool

Repetition urging to maintain composure and control emotions

(Why must we?) Keep it, cool

-

Keep it, keep it cool

-

Keep it (cool), keep it cool

-

Hope one day the stars align

Expressing hope for a future alignment of circumstances

You're deep within me

Describing a deep emotional connection

'Til you give it up

Emphasizing the importance of not giving up despite challenges

We can't surrender

-

You're not free

-

Keep it , keep it cool (hope one day the stars align)

Repetition stressing the importance of keeping emotions in check

Keep it, cool (you're deep within me)

-

Keep it, keep it cool ('til you give it up)

-

Keep it, keep it cool (we can't surrender)

-

Make it hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot

Expressing a desire to intensify the situation or emotions

When you surrender

Describing the impact of surrendering and its connection to heightened emotions

You make it hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot

-

Then, we'll surrender

-

Make it hot, hot, hot (hot)

Repetition of making the situation intense or passionate

You know I

-

I make it hot (hot)

Personal assertion of making the situation intense or passionate
