Lyrics
Oooh-Oooooh
Repetitive vocalizations setting a mood or emotional tone.
Oooh-Oooooh
-Oooh-Oooooh
-Oooh-Oooooh
-I don't really know if this is going anywhere but I need you
Uncertainty about the direction of a relationship, expressing a need for the other person.
Yeah I need you
Reiteration of the emotional need for the other person.
And baby you can play this game, you can play it everyday
Reference to a relationship as a game, emphasizing the need for mutual participation.
But it takes two
-Yeah it takes two
Highlighting the importance of both parties in the relationship.
And I don't really care if you're not playing it fair
Indifference to fairness, expressing a commitment to holding onto the other person.
I'll just hold you
Commitment to holding onto the other person despite challenges.
I'm supposed to
-But my patience wearing thin, I don't like the way it's been
Impatience and dissatisfaction with the current state of the relationship.
This is past due
-This is past due
Emphasizing overdue changes or resolutions in the relationship.
I'm in a phone booth and it's raining
Imagery of a rainy phone booth and recognition of the other person's energetic presence.
Zero numbers in my memory
-Zero numbers in my memory
-I saw you down the block yeah you had that lightning energy
-You had that lightning energy
Appreciation for the other person's vibrant and energetic qualities.
You a damn trophy, when you perk those lips slowly
Complimenting the other person's attractiveness and expressing nervousness.
Had me nervous
-Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Repetition of affirmation and nervousness.
Now i'm fucking stuck and all my feelings rise up to the surface
Feeling stuck and overwhelmed by emotions resurfacing.
All my feelings rise to the surface
-Yeah you never had purpose
Expressing a sense of purposelessness and being treated as expendable.
Yeah you made me feel worthless
-Add it up like a purchase
-Playing games like a Circus
-Yeah you never had purpose

Yeah you made me feel worthless
-Add it up like a purchase

-But I can't imagine a place where you aren't the main attraction
Inability to imagine a scenario where the other person is not the central focus.
I can't imagine a place
Suggesting a mathematical analogy to convey the desire for exclusivity.
If it's you plus him and me plus you, then baby let's use subtraction
-Baby let's use subtraction
Encouraging a reduction in complexity for the sake of the relationship.
Cause you're breaking me down
Describing the other person as a source of both pleasure and distraction.
You fit my passion as distraction
-You fit my passion as distraction
Reiteration of the other person's role as a distraction.
So let's not go down this road
Cautioning against pursuing a challenging and potentially painful path in the relationship.
It's filled with bumps and tight turns
-And i'll end up getting hurt
-All the scars yeah they burn
Acknowledging the lasting impact of previous difficulties in the relationship.
Because, it's pretty clear you've got some issues
Acknowledging the other person's issues while recognizing everyone has their own challenges.
But everybodys got their issues

And i'll even fucking kiss you
