Legendary Lovers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Under a silver moon, tropical temperature
I feel my lotus bloom
Come closer

I want your energy, I want your aura
You are my destiny, my mantra

[Pre-Chorus]
I never knew I could see something so clearly looking through my third eye
Never knew karma could be so rewarding
and bring me to your light
Maybe this is the beginning of something so magical tonight
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
Take me down to the river
Underneath the blood-orange sun
Say my name like a scripture
Keep my heart beating like a drum
Legendary lovers
We could be legendary (La-la-la-la-la)
Legendary lovers
We should be legendary (La-la-la-la-la)


[Verse 2]
Go down in history, go down together
Into infinity, forever

Your Cleopatra, your blushing Juliet
Anything for your love, a ride or die

[Pre-Chorus]
I never knew I could see something so clearly looking through my third eye
Never knew karma could be so rewarding and bring me to your light
Maybe this is the beginning of something so magical tonight
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
Take me down to the river
Underneath the blood-orange sun
Say my name like a scripture
Keep my heart beating like a drum
Legendary lovers
We could be legendary (La-la-la-la-la)
Legendary lovers
We should be legendary (La-la-la-la-la)


[Interlude]
Ah-ooh! Ooh!
Ah-ooh! Check it out
Ooh!
Ah-ooh!
Legendary lovers
Ooh!
Legendary lovers
Ah-ooh!
Legendary lovers
Ooh!
[Breakdown]
Oh, take me down to the river
Underneath the blood-orange sun
Say my name like a scripture
Keep my heart beating like a drum

[Chorus]
Legendary lovers
We could be legendary (La-la-la-la-la; Legendary lovers)
Legendary lovers
We should be legendary (La-la-la-la-la)

Oh, take me down to the river
Underneath the blood-orange sun (Underneath the sun)
Say my name like a scripture
Keep my heart beating like a drum (Oh baby, legendary lovers)
Legendary lovers
We could be legendary, oh-oh (La-la-la-la-la)
Legendary lovers
We should be legendary (La-la-la-la-la)

Ah-ooh!
