Poppy Seed by Melodie Yvonne
There’s an inch of life between us and I can hardly breathe
You’re everything I’m wantin’, everything I need
I’m shakin’ like a skittish puppy beggin’ for a bone
And I am longin’ for you once again in this big empty home
You’re everything I’m wantin’, everything I need
You’re my cowboy casanova super stylin’ on your steed
You’re chocolate dipped temptation and I’m about to overfeed
I’m an addict lookin’ for a fix and you’re my poppy seed
I dream about you every day like honey to a bee
You’re everything I’m wantin’, everything I need
I just can’t take the silence in this big ole empty house
‘Cause the silence makes my wantin’ of you echo all around
The air around me’s shakin’ like a speaker full of bass
The vibration is killing me and I still miss your face
There’s goosebumps on my flesh that tingle deep down in my soul
And now somehow I’m still all alone yet ‘bout to lose control
You’re everything I’m wantin’, everything I need
You’re my cowboy casanova super stylin’ on your steed
You’re chocolate dipped temptation and I’m about to overfeed
I’m an addict lookin’ for a fix and you’re my poppy seed
