Settle Down Little Girl
Eternal Devotion: Cassette Tape's Melody of Endless Love
Lyrics
I like your hair like that
Appreciation for the way your hair is styled
And your t-shirt in black
Preference for your attire, specifically a black t-shirt
I know how you smell
Familiarity with your scent
Oh I know you so well
Deep understanding and knowledge of you
I like the way you talk
Admiration for the way you speak
Or just simply the way you walk
Adoration for your manner of walking
And now listen to me carefully
Requesting attentive listening for an important message
Cause I need you to be with me
Expressing a need for the person to be present
But darling can’t you see
Highlighting the exclusivity of their importance
You’re the only one for me
Emphasizing the unique significance of the individual
Our universe sticks together
Stressing the unity and connection between the two
I know you better than anyone other
Claiming an unparalleled understanding of the person
Your hands do fit in mine
Physical compatibility and comfort
I wanna make you feel alright
Desire to bring emotional ease and happiness
Don’t you worry bout nothing baby
Assurance and comfort, asking not to worry
My heart will always be with you, you, you
Commitment to always having feelings for the person
With you, you, you
Reiteration of persistent feelings
And now we’re just 16
Describing their young age, perhaps at a pivotal point
We’re chasing our own dreams
Pursuing personal aspirations together
I write songs about you
Using music to convey depth of love and commitment
To make you feel how my love is true
Reinforcing the authenticity of emotions
But darlin’ can’t you see
Repeated emphasis on exclusivity in affection
You’re the only one for me
Reiteration of unique importance to the speaker
Our universe sticks together
Reemphasizing a special, close connection
I know you better than anyone other
Claiming an unparalleled understanding of the person (repeated)
Your hands do fit in mine
Reiteration of physical compatibility and comfort
I wanna make you feel alright
Desire to bring emotional ease and happiness (repeated)
Don’t you worry bout nothing baby
Reassurance and comfort, asking not to worry (repeated)
My heart will always be with you, you, you
Commitment to always having feelings for the person (repeated)
With you, you, you
Reiteration of persistent feelings (repeated)
But if you find somebody new
Acknowledgment of the possibility of someone new entering their life
That catches your heart more than I do
Acceptance that someone else might capture their affection
You know I don't look pretty when I cry
Noting personal vulnerability and discomfort in emotional situations
But just text me a goodbye
Asking for a considerate farewell if they choose to leave
But darling can’t you see
Reiteration of unique importance to the speaker (repeated)
You’re the only one for me
Reemphasis on exclusivity in affection (repeated)
Our universe sticks together
Reemphasizing a special, close connection (repeated)
I know you better than anyone other
Claiming an unparalleled understanding of the person (repeated)
Your hands do fit in mine
Reiteration of physical compatibility and comfort (repeated)
I wanna make you feel alright
Desire to bring emotional ease and happiness (repeated)
Don’t you worry bout nothing baby
Reassurance and comfort, asking not to worry (repeated)
My heart will always be with you, you, you
Commitment to always having feelings for the person (repeated)
With you, you, you
Reiteration of persistent feelings (repeated)
