Lyrics
Radio song, playing in the car, don't even know where we are
Engaged with a radio song while driving, lost in the moment without awareness of location.
Don't know the time of day or the color of the clothes I'm wearing.
Unaware of the time or personal appearance details.
Would you look at that sky, pretty little stars twinkling far above in heaven
Admiration for the beautiful night sky with twinkling stars.
Sorta makes me feel like dancing, right here in the moonlight.
The enchanting sky evokes a desire to dance under the moonlight.
But this little girl, well she's so shy,
Refers to a shy girl who avoids eye contact.
She won't even look up, into the sky
Emphasizes the girl's extreme shyness, not looking up even at the sky.
At the shiny stars, guiding stars pointing the way to the heaven of my heart
Reference to the girl as a guiding star leading to the speaker's emotional haven.
Guiding stars pointing the way to the heaven of my, the heaven of my heart.
Reiteration of the girl as a guiding star leading to the speaker's emotional haven.
Got a funny-bone, laugh like a mule, always did pretty good in school
Describes the speaker's humorous traits and achievements.
But still I cannot decipher her arithmetic.
The speaker struggles to understand the girl's way of thinking.
'Cause I'd walk to the moon, I'd lick a spittoon,
Expresses extreme actions the speaker is willing to take for the girl's attention.
I'd wear wooly underwear in a sauna,
Humorous exaggeration of actions to demonstrate affection.
Just to show her how much I want to be her lovable lunatic.
Expresses a strong desire to be seen as a lovable eccentric by the girl.
But she's so demure, that it's no surprise
Highlights the girl's reserved nature, unresponsive to declarations of love.
When I tell her I love her, well she just closes her eyes
Reveals the girl's reaction of closing her eyes when told she is loved.
To the shiny stars, guiding stars pointing the way to the heaven of my heart
Reiteration of the girl as a guiding star leading to the speaker's emotional haven.
Guiding stars pointing the way to the heaven of my, the heaven of my heart.
-Yes she's a brainy girl, that is good.
Praising the girl's intelligence but with a touch of humor.
She's smarter than me but then so is wood,
Playfully admits the girl's superiority but questions blind submission.
But that don't mean I should submit to her authority
Asserts independence despite acknowledging the girl's intelligence.
'Cause I want to make her laugh,
Expresses a desire to make the girl laugh.
I want to make her sing,
Desire to bring joy to the girl through singing.
But she won't do a doggone thing, and don'tcha know
Despite desires, the girl remains unresponsive, enhancing her appeal.
When she don't it makes her even more adorable.
Her lack of response adds to her charm.
I guess that's why, it's the way she fights me
Conflict or resistance from the girl intensifies the speaker's feelings.
It makes them stars burn extra brightly
Struggles in the relationship contribute to the brightness of the metaphorical stars.
Them shiny stars, guiding star pointing the way to the heaven of my heart,
Reiteration of the girl as a guiding star leading to the speaker's emotional haven.
Guiding stars pointing the way to the heaven of my heart
