Better Friends
Seeking Better Company: Desmond and the Tutus' Reflections
Lyrics
He's just another sucker
He is just another person easily deceived or manipulated.
Blinded by bromance- sucker
Blinded by strong male friendship or camaraderie.
Desperate for in-jokes-sucker
Feeling desperate to be part of inside jokes or exclusive circles.
Or you got some other options, sucker?
Questioning if there are other choices or alternatives.
What are you still doing here?
Reflecting on the purpose and existence of the speaker and the listener.
What am I still doing here?
-What are we still doing here?
-I can't stand the sight of you
Expressing strong dislike or discomfort towards the listener.
I'm the only one looking at you, you, you
Highlighting the speaker as the only one paying attention to the listener.
Yes, you need better friends
Suggesting that the listener needs better friends who care more.
I hate you, but I love you more than they do you, you, you
-Yes, you need better friends
-Swept off your feet again, sucker
Describing the listener as easily infatuated or charmed.
Who is it this time, sucker?
Questioning the identity of the person the listener is infatuated with.
Caught up in the moment, sucker
Being caught up in a fleeting, impulsive moment.
Gotta run, run, run, run, run far away, sucker
Advising the listener to run far away from the situation.
What am I still doing here?
Pondering the reasons for the continued presence of the speaker and others.
What are you doing here?
-What is he still doing here?
-I can't stand the sight of you
Expressing an intense aversion to the listener.
I'm the only one looking at you, you, you
Emphasizing the speaker as the sole observer of the listener.
