Tell Me About Yourself
Unveiling Life's Riddles: A Musical Odyssey by Libby DeCamp
Lyrics
Tell me about yourself
Initiating a conversation, asking for self-description
What's good for your health and
Asking about habits or practices promoting well-being
Do you believe that Greek is a language
Questioning beliefs, possibly about language diversity
Are you free
Inquiring about personal freedom
Are you mean
Asking about one's disposition or behavior
Is Florida green and
Possibly questioning the environmental state of Florida
Does lightning strike
Raising the idea of consequences, possibly unpredictable
The people that it doesn't like
Exploring the concept of karma or justice
Do you wake up in the middle of the night
Asking about nighttime awakenings
Was your meal made right
Inquiring about the quality of a meal
And served with ultimate politeness
Asking if service is characterized by utmost politeness
Do your begonias thrive with cyanide
Posing a question about the well-being of plants
And when your lady lies, ah
Referencing deception in relationships
How you gonna keep her in line?
Questioning the approach to managing a relationship
And how what you are
Raising a question about identity or self-perception
Is what everybody else
Suggesting conformity to societal norms
Will have to learn how to get used to
Implying adaptation to prevailing circumstances
Oh, I count my loss
Expressing the acknowledgment of personal losses
It's not some idle cost
Clarifying that losses are not trivial or insignificant
Can't you tell me?
Seeking an explanation or understanding
Are they doing it wrong
Questioning the correctness of actions
Are they taking too long
Asking if progress is perceived as too slow
Who's got your money
Asking about financial responsibility
And how are they gonna spend it
Inquiring about plans or choices related to money
And what is your stance on immigrants
Raising a question about one's views on immigration
Maybe your policy is one that we can use
Suggesting the potential usefulness of a particular policy
Oh, tell me
Expressing a strong desire to know
I'm dying to know
Reiterating the request for information
Tell me
Repeating the request with emphasis
Tell me about yourself
Reiterating the initial request for self-description
And how what you are
Repeating the concept of conformity to societal norms
Is what everybody else
Restating the idea of adaptation to prevailing circumstances
Is just gonna have to get used to
Emphasizing the inevitability of getting used to certain aspects
Oh, I count my loss
Reiterating the acknowledgment of personal losses
It's not some idle cost
Clarifying that losses are not trivial or insignificant
Can't you tell me?
Repeating the request for an explanation or understanding
