Soft One
Soft One: Love's Tilt-a-Whirl and Second-Guessing
Lyrics
You might be messin' 'round with other boys
You might be involved with other boys, but they won't reciprocate love.
But they won't love you back
Reiterating that the other boys won't love her back.
You might be messin' 'round with other toys
She may be involved with other toys, but they won't provide the same affection.
But they won't hug you back
Emphasizing that the other toys won't hug her back.
You might be messin' 'round with other men
She might be involved with other men, but warns that they may hurt her.
But they will do you in
Stressing the potential harm from involvement with other men.
You might be messin' 'round with other girls
She might be involved with other girls, but the singer appreciates her uniqueness.
I love your tilt-a-whirls
Expressing admiration for her distinct qualities.
Come here and make it a soft one baby doll
Inviting her to come and experience a tender moment.
Come here and make it a soft one
Repeating the invitation for an affectionate encounter.
You don't come over that often baby doll
Noting that she doesn't visit frequently.
Come here and make it a soft one
Reiterating the invitation for a gentle interaction.
You might be holding on to someone right
Suggesting she might be holding onto someone without realizing it.
But you don't know it yet
Highlighting her unawareness of the situation.
And does the thought of that give you a fright?
Pondering if the realization frightens her.
You're second-guessing it
Expressing uncertainty and second-guessing about the situation.
You might be holding on to someone new
She might be holding onto someone new, possibly enjoying it.
Hell, you might even be enjoying it
Suggesting potential enjoyment in her new connection.
And does the thought of that give you the blues
Wondering if the thought of the new connection brings her sadness.
Does it fill you with regret?
Questioning if the new connection fills her with regret.
Oh, come here and make it a soft one baby doll
Inviting her again to a tender moment.
Come here and make it a soft one
Repeating the invitation for an affectionate encounter.
You don't come over that often baby doll
Remarking on the infrequency of her visits.
Come here and make it a soft one
Reiterating the invitation for a gentle interaction.
You might be making a mistake
Advising that she might be making a mistake.
You might be making a mistake
Repeating the warning about a potential mistake.
You never know if you miss 'em when you go
Highlighting the uncertainty of missing someone after leaving.
You might be making a mistake
Emphasizing the possibility of a mistake.
You might be making a mistake
Reiterating the warning about a potential mistake.
You never know if you miss 'em when you go
Repeating the uncertainty of missing someone after leaving.
You never know if you miss 'em when you go
Emphasizing the lingering uncertainty of missing someone.
You never know if you miss 'em when you go
Continuing the theme of uncertainty and potential regret.
Come here and make it a soft one baby doll
Inviting her once again to a tender moment.
Come here and make it a soft one
Repeating the invitation for an affectionate encounter.
You don't come over that often baby doll
Noting the infrequency of her visits.
Come here and make it a soft one
Reiterating the invitation for a gentle interaction.
Come here and make it a soft one baby doll
Repeating the invitation for a tender moment.
Come here and make it a soft one
Reiterating the invitation for an affectionate encounter.
Oh, you don't come over that often baby doll
Noting the infrequency of her visits.
Come here and make it, make it, make it now
Urging her to make the tender moment happen immediately.
Come here and make it a soft one
Repeating the invitation for a gentle interaction.
