Lyrics
Beauty queen of only eighteen
Describing an attractive young woman who is only eighteen years old
She had some trouble with herself
She faced some internal struggles or issues
He was always there to help her
There was someone always available to assist or support her
She always belonged to someone else
Despite help being available, she was emotionally committed to another person
I drove for miles and miles
The singer traveled extensively
And wound up at your door
Ended up arriving at the door of the person he's addressing in the song
I've had you so many times
They've been together intimately numerous times
But somehow I want more
Despite past experiences, there's a desire for something deeper or more
I don't mind spendin' everyday
The singer doesn't mind spending time every day
Out on your corner in the pourin' rain
Willing to wait outside in bad weather conditions for the person
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Describing a girl who appears sad or troubled
Ask her if she wants to stay a while
Asking if she wants company for a while
And she will be loved
Assurance that the girl will receive love
And she will be loved
-Tap on my window, knock on my door
Inviting the person into his life
I want to make you feel beautiful
Expressing the desire to make the person feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
Admitting his own insecurities but emphasizing they don't matter anymore
Doesn't matter anymore
Realizing that life isn't always perfect, but that compromises are necessary
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
Life is not always easy and joyful
It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
Compromise is essential for progress
My heart is full, and my door's always open
Expressing openness and willingness to welcome the person at any time
You come anytime you want, yeah
Encouraging the person to come over whenever they want
I don't mind spendin' everyday
Reiterating the willingness to spend time daily
Out on your corner in the pourin' rain
Repeating the readiness to be there regardless of weather
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Describing the same girl with a broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
Asking her again to stay longer
And she will be loved
Repeating the assurance of love
And she will be loved
-And she will be loved
-And she will be loved
-I know where you hide alone in your car
Aware of the person's moments alone
Know all of the things that make you who you are
Understanding the essence of the person
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Realizing that goodbyes don't hold much meaning
Comes back and makes me catch her every time she falls
Ready to catch and support the person every time they falter or fall
Yeah
(Blank line)
Tap on my window, knock on my door
Repeated expressions of willingness to make the person feel beautiful and loved
I want to make you feel beautiful
-I don't mind spendin' everyday
-Out on your corner in the pourin' rain, oh
-Look for the girl with the broken smile
-Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
-And she will be loved
Reiteration of the commitment to love the person
And she will be loved
-And she will be loved
-And she will be loved
-Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Requesting not to try too hard to say goodbye
I don't mind spendin' everyday
Reiterating the willingness to spend time despite difficulties
Out on your corner in the pourin' rain
Same as line 11, indicating a readiness to be there even in bad weather
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Pleading for an easy farewell
