Money Mouth
Money Mouth: Unraveling the Game of Desire in Moon Kissed's Melody
Lyrics
i dont wanna be
"I don't want to be"
the one
"The one"
the one you need to turn you on
"The one you need to turn you on"
don't wanna hear
"Don't wanna hear"
you say
"You say"
say you want me to dance that way
"Say you want me to dance that way"
i'd rather be
"I'd rather be"
anywhere but here tonight
"Anywhere but here tonight"
in your dreams
"In your dreams"
it's not fair
"It's not fair"
you got me where you want me
Repetition of being in a situation of someone's control or influence
yeah you got me where you want me
-yeah you got me where you want me
-yeah you got me where you want
-i'm caught up
"I'm caught up"
in a game that i've always lost
"In a game that I've always lost"
to everybody who has me pinned
"To everybody who has me pinned"
for the guy with everything
"For the guy with everything"
there's no way i can win
"There's no way I can win"
they're always talking
Encouragement to back up words with action or commitment
oh just let em talk
-put your money where your mouth is
-put your money where your mouth
-put your money where your mouth is
-put your money where it counts
-i am just a pawn
"I am just a pawn"
who tries
"Who tries"
to rip you from your sad sad life
"To rip you from your sad, sad life"
but this flesh
"But this flesh"
these bones
"These bones"
don't live to satisfy your soul
"Don't live to satisfy your soul"
i'd rather be
"I'd rather be"
anywhere but in your mind
"Anywhere but in your mind"
in your dreams
"In your dreams tonight"
tonight
Empty line (no specific content)
you got me where you want me
Reiteration of feeling controlled or manipulated
yeah you got me where you want me
-yeah you got me where you want me
-yeah you got me where you want
-i'm caught up
"I'm caught up"
in a game that i've always lost
"In a game that I've always lost"
to everybody who has me pinned
"To everybody who has me pinned"
for the guy with everything
"For the guy with everything"
there's no way i can win
"There's no way I can win"
they're always talking
Continued emphasis on the importance of backing up talk with action or commitment
oh just let em talk
-put your money where your mouth is
-put your money where your mouth
-put your money where your mouth is
-put your money where it counts
