Lyrics
You're telling me that I'm looking
You're being told that you appear
pretty messed up and pretty lame
Physically and socially not in a good state
You say it brings you out of style
The criticism suggests it affects your overall image
that it's a different game
Implying a change in circumstances or expectations
You shouldn't put the chill on me
Advising not to dampen the mood
'cause when the fireworks are over
After the excitement is over
Girl I'll make you see
Promising to change perceptions
come on baby spill your guts
Encouraging honesty and openness
Let it out and you will feel alright
Suggesting relief and improvement through confession
You're telling me that I've got
Being told that you exhibit
a lot of nerv, I'm such a strain
A high level of boldness or audacity
See he makes you up real fine
Acknowledging external efforts in appearance
but you're still the same
Despite that, fundamentally unchanged
You shouldn't put the chill on me
Caution against affecting the mood negatively
'cause when the fireworks are over
Promise to alter perceptions post excitement
Girl I'll make you see
Reiteration of the intent to change perspectives
Come on baby spill your guts
Repeated encouragement for openness
Let it out and you will feel alright
Emphasizing the positive effects of disclosure
You're telling me that I'm looking
Repeating the observation of a disheveled state
pretty messed up and pretty lame
Reiteration of criticism on appearance and social standing
You say it brings you out of style
Repeating the notion that it affects overall style
that it's a different game
Reiterating the idea of a changed situation or circumstance
You shouldn't put the chill on me
Repeated advice not to spoil the atmosphere
'cause when the fireworks are over
Renewed promise to change perceptions after excitement
Girl I'll make you see
Reiteration of commitment to altering perspectives
Come on baby spill your guts
Repeating the call for honesty and openness
Let it out and you will feel alright
Reiterating the positive outcomes of disclosure
x2
Repeating the encouragement for openness (x2)
