Lyrics
Girl have you ever been hungry
Expressing a question to the girl about experiencing extreme hunger.
So hungry that you had no pride?
Asking if the girl has ever been so hungry that pride is set aside.
Well I got that feeling
Describing a feeling of deep hunger or emptiness.
That biting, gnawing deep inside
Expressing the intense, persistent nature of the hunger.
It's a funny pain
Describing the hunger as a peculiar pain.
One I can't explain
Admitting inability to explain the unique pain experienced.
You gotta help me girl
Seeking assistance from the girl to alleviate the pain.
Help me girl

'Cause I'm going insane

I know about all the good things
Acknowledging awareness of materialistic pleasures and their influence.
And what that long green stuff can buy
Highlighting the power of wealth ("long green stuff") but admitting dissatisfaction.
Right or wrong it's a groove girl
Considering both right and wrong choices as part of a compelling experience.
Yet somehow I'm not satisfied
Despite material success, there is a sense of unfulfillment.
You gotta show me the way

Be my reality girl

You gotta show me the way

And turn my night into day
