Lyrics
Take a look as he passes you by and then
Observing someone passing by.
A second glance as he catches your eye again
Taking a second look as the person catches attention.
Hide your face so he doesn't see the fear in you
Suggesting hiding emotions, specifically fear, from the observed person.
All these people without a clue
Commenting on people's lack of awareness.
He's the bloke that we all know
Introducing a well-known person.
Well respected, of no concern
Describing the person as respected but not a concern.
But when your back is turned and your guard is down he strikes
Revealing a hidden negative side when trust is breached.
Take take take
Emphasizing the act of taking advantage.
Here she comes again here she comes again
Introducing another character, possibly female.
With her high heels on caked in fake tan
Describing the appearance of the female character.
Little boys don't know what to do
Indicating confusion or uncertainty in dealing with the situation.
So they buy her a drink try to act smooth
Highlighting attempts to impress the female character.
She's in total control
Emphasizing the female's control over the situation.
But she doesn't let them know
Pointing out the hidden intentions of the female character.
You gotta give it to her credit where it's due
Acknowledging the female character's skill or capability.
Fake fake fake
Emphasizing deception or falsehood.
I know what you're thinking
Expressing understanding of someone's thoughts.
I know 'cause I've been here before
Implying personal experience with a similar situation.
I got two more hours to go
Referring to a specific timeframe.
Does she love me does she need me
Expressing uncertainty about love and need in a relationship.
And even if I knew would I ever really know for sure
Raising doubt about ever truly understanding the situation.
Here we go again here we go again
Introducing a recurring situation or pattern.
Got your mind made up got your face on so count to ten
Describing preparedness for a situation with a countdown.
I got the bag and it doesn't look good to me
Having possession of a "bag" with negative implications.
I'm backed in a corner got something to say you see
Feeling cornered but having something important to communicate.
I'm the bloke that you all know
Repeating the introduction of the first character.
Well respected of no concern
Reiterating respect but hinting at hidden motives.
But when your back is turned and your guard is down I strike
Repeating the negative turn when trust is violated.
Take take take
Reiterating the theme of taking advantage or exploiting a situation.
