Lock it up, what you love, lips say let me be mine

Oh, auction off what you love, it will come back sometime

Lock it up, what you love, lips say let me be mine

You gotta take another trunk of me with you

Metaphorically, sharing personal baggage or history with others.

When you go oh-oh-oh-oh

Go ahead and take another trunk of me in, just go

Further urging the other person to carry a piece of the speaker's past.

Oh oh, just go!

An emphatic directive to go, leave, or move forward.


Stop the stench, setting stun

Abruptly changing the subject, possibly addressing unpleasant aspects.

Bathing beauties like I were at run

Comparing oneself to attractive figures who are always on the move.

Lots of heavy lotion that's gone untouched

Mentioning unused resources or unexplored aspects in contrast to the attractive figures.

Meanwhile I'm still thinking about it

Hmm, I'm still thinking about it

I've been watching too young
