Lyrics

You don't pass your time in limbo

You don't spend your time in a state of uncertainty or indecision.

Or hang out with the crowd

You don't socialize with the mainstream crowd.

Sitting on the stoop like a little girl

Sitting on the steps like a young girl who made a wrong turn in life.

Who took the wrong road into town

Metaphorically describing a deviation from the right path into town.

But you got that short cut way about you

You have a unique, efficient way of doing things.

And no one's gonna stare you down

No one will intimidate or challenge you.

You cook much better on a lower flame

You are more effective when operating at a lower intensity.

You burn much better when the sun goes down

You thrive and shine better during the nighttime.


And heaven can wait

A reference to delaying gratification or postponing something pleasurable.

But you ought to be a saint

Suggesting the person should be considered virtuous and holy.

I got your very best intentions

Expressing gratitude for the person's positive intentions.

Helping me along

The person is supportive and aiding in the speaker's journey.

And if I ever fail to mention

Acknowledging and appreciating the person's impact on the speaker's life.

You were an overnight sensation

Describing the person as an immediate and noteworthy success.

Well take it from me

The speaker vouches for the person's saintly qualities.

My baby's a saint

Reaffirming the person's saintly nature.

My baby's a saint

Repetition emphasizing the person's virtuous character.


I believe you were a new arrival

The person is seen as a recent addition or newcomer.

On the fast train passing through

Metaphorically on a fast-paced journey through life.

And you traded in your luck for survival

Sacrificing luck for survival and facing challenges.

To sweeten up the witch's brew

Improving a difficult situation with charm and positivity.

You had a better way of working magic

Possessing a special and effective way of achieving results.

A little mystery in your eyes

An element of mystery and intrigue in the person's eyes.

Instead of rolling over you remained the same

Resisting conformity and maintaining authenticity.

You took the whole world by surprise

Surprising everyone with your uniqueness and abilities.
