Lyrics
Have you heard the word
Asking if you've heard some news or information
Our friend is gonna be a star
Predicting that a friend will achieve fame
She's gonna get the chauffer
Expecting the friend to have a chauffeur
And she's gonna get the car
Expecting the friend to acquire a car
And she's gonna get the love
Anticipating that the friend will gain the affection of people at a bar
Of the people at the bar
Expecting the friend to receive love from patrons at a bar
And she's gonna give birth
Imagining the friend giving birth metaphorically to a guitar
To a baby guitar
Metaphorically describing the creative birth of something significant
Now rumor says our good friend
Indicating rumors about the friend's behavior
Has done some carryin' on
Implying the friend has engaged in questionable activities
And rumor says in public
Suggesting the friend's intimate connection with her music
She makes love to all her songs
Describing an intimate connection between the friend and her songs in public
In front of the frustration
Highlighting the reaction of frustration from bar patrons
Of the people at the bar
Expressing audacity in the friend's actions with her guitar
She's got the nerve to mess around
Describing the friend's boldness in handling her instrument
With her guitar
Further emphasizing the friend's audacious behavior with her guitar
Oh, it was sad
Expressing sadness over the decline of the friend's fame
To see the breakdown
Reflecting on the downfall of the friend's celebrity status
Of the princess' fallin' star
Recalling a specific incident involving the friend at a bar
One day when she was doin'
Detailing the friend's actions at the bar
All the people at the bar
Describing the friend's behavior in the presence of bar patrons
She did a little don't, yeah
Indicating a specific action the friend performed
And the pulled her head apart
Metaphorically describing a violent reaction from others toward the friend
And neatly tuck'd away inside
Symbolically expressing a protective measure taken by the friend
Her eyelid was her heart
Symbolizing the friend's emotional vulnerability
Then they look'd at one another
Describing the reactions of observers acknowledging a revelation
And said we knew it
Realizing the truth about the friend's nature or situation
There you are, oh
Recognizing the emergence of something unexpected
A nameless illegitimate baby guitar
Describing the creation of something unnamed but significant
Now a loving loyal friend
Depicting a loyal individual caring for the creation
Took the off-spring as his own
Symbolizing acceptance of responsibility for the creation
And accordin' to it's birthright
Highlighting the rightful entitlement of the creation
He built it a throne
Symbolizing the respect given to the creation
And now just like his mommy
Describing the actions of the creation, reminiscent of its origin
He does the people at the bar
Indicating the creation's actions similar to its originator
And they look at one another
Describing reactions of observers acknowledging potential success
And say he's gonna be a star
Anticipating the creation's future success
Rememb'rin' well the mother
Remembering the mother of the creation
Of the baby guitar
Recalling the originator of the significant creation
