Lyrics

Didn't want to make trouble

Expressing reluctance or hesitation to cause trouble.

I just wanted to try and see

Indicating a desire to explore and understand the other person.

If I could burst your bubble

Curiosity about breaking through the other person's protective barrier or preconceptions.

'Cause you looked so nice to me

Complimenting the person's outward appearance.

When I touched you, you shivered

Describing a physical reaction when making contact, possibly romantic or intimate.

But I thought things would be OK

Expecting things to go well despite initial uncertainties.

Thought I'd drown in your river

Metaphorically referencing the person's emotional depth as a river, hinting at the complexity of the relationship.

But you had something else to say:

Encountering an unexpected response from the other person.


"You shouldn't be naughty

Quoting advice or admonishment to refrain from misbehavior or being "naughty."

You shouldn't be so bad"

-

"You shouldn't be naughty

-

You shouldn't get up to no good"

-

Didn't think that you meant it

Expressing disbelief or underestimation of the seriousness of the advice.

So i gave you another squeeze

Continuing to engage despite the warning.

Didn't think you'd resent it

Not expecting negative consequences for actions.

But you kept on saying to me:

Encountering persistent disapproval from the other person.


"You shouldn't be naughty

Repeating the advice with emphasis on avoiding mischief.

You shouldn't be so bad"

-

"You shouldn't be naughty

-

You shouldn't get up to no good"

-

"You're so bad" is all you can tell me

Quoting phrases highlighting the person's disapproval and desire for conformity.

"Be a good boy" is all you can say

-

"Don't be wicked" is all you keep saying

-

"Don't be naughty that way!"

-

Didn't want to make trouble

Reiterating the intention not to cause trouble.

I just wanted to play some games

Desiring playful interaction or recreational activities.

Needed someone to cuddle

Expressing a need for emotional closeness or affection.

But you kept on saying the same:

Experiencing frustration due to the persistent repetition of warnings.


"You shouldn't be naughty

Repeating the advice against misbehavior, suggesting a sense of being trapped or misunderstood.

You shouldn't be so bad"

-

"You shouldn't be naughty

-

You shouldn't get up to no good"
