Fred Astaire Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell me what you want
I’ll be whatever you
I’ll be your lover
You’re the drug up in my head
You’re the ghost up in my bed
There’s no other

Tell me what you
I’ll do whatever you
Until no other
You’re the song stuck in my head
You’re the ghost here in my bed
There’s no other

[Hook]
Let me take you there
Cross the floor, like Fred Astaire
(No other, like your loving)
Keep you up all night
Let me keep you up all night
(No other, like your loving)

[Verse 2]
Underneath your skin
Is where our story must begin
Here under the cupboard
Inter sychronised
Looking for the signal in your eyes
Now we are lovers
Tell me what you want
Tell me that’s exactly what I want
To be your lover
You’re the drug here in my vein
Make a brother go insane
There’s no other

[Hook]
Let me take you there
Cross the floor, like Fred Astaire
(No other, like your loving)
Keep you up all night
Let me keep you up all night
(No other, like your loving)

[Breakdown 16x]
When you need a hand
I’ll understand

[Hook on background]

About

Genius Annotation

Well, the song’s title originates from the actor/dancer/singer, Fred Astaire. He’s suave, a good actor, and, basically, an ideal man. Which is quite funny because in his films he often is like, “hey, I’m perfect, fall in love with me,” which is kind of what the song is portraying.
