Lyrics
Just above your belt I saw the perfect work of art
Yin-Yang sun and moon, a halo filled with stars
I wanted to reach out and touch it
I want to be with you so much it
Hurts sometimes
CHORUS
I wish I were the tattoo on your back
In red and green and gold and black
To be the tattoo on your back
So I looked to the sun and moon and I wished upon some stars
I wanted to be close to you wherever you are
All I want to do is touch you
You?ll never ever know how much you
Own me girl
(Chorus)
Red for the blood that?s beating through my shattered heart
Black for the death I pray will never do us part
Gold for the treasure that I see inside your eyes
A little bit of green to show my slightly jealous mind
(Chorus)
So if I were to tell you that I wish I were your ink
Would you take it as a compliment? What would you think?
If only you would try and let me in
I promise I would never leave your skin
No way
(Chorus)
