You Took Advantage of Me
Love's Deceptive Dance: Unraveling the Sentimental Tale in Mathilde Santing's Melody
Lyrics
I'm a sentimental sap that's all
I am a sentimental person, emotional and easily moved.
What's the use of trying not to fall
There's no point in attempting to avoid falling in love.
I have no will, you made your kill
I lack the willpower to resist; you've successfully conquered me.
'Cause you took advantage of me
You took advantage of my vulnerability.
Ooh I'm just like an apple on a bough
Like an apple on a branch, I am easily reachable or vulnerable.
And you're gonna shake me down somehow
You are going to make me fall or submit somehow.
So what's the use, you've cooked my goose
There's no point resisting; you've sealed my fate.
'Cause you took advantage of me
Again, emphasizing that you took advantage of me.
Ooh I'm so hot and bothered
Expressing intense emotions of being both heated and troubled.
That I don't know my elbow from my ear
Feeling disoriented or confused, unable to distinguish basic things.
I suffer something awful each time you go
Experiencing great distress every time you leave.
And much worse when you're near
The distress intensifies when you are close.
Here I am with all my bridges burned
Left with no support or options, all relationships severed.
Just a babe in arms where you're concerned
Metaphorically, inexperienced and defenseless when it comes to you.
So lock the doors and call me yours
Asking for commitment and ownership.
'Cause you took advantage of me
Reiterating that you took advantage of me.
Yes you took advantage of me
Confirmation that the speaker feels exploited.
