The Less I Know the Better
Love's Unraveling Mystery: Natty Bong's Tale of Heartache
Lyrics
Someone said they left together
Someone observed that a couple left together
I ran out the door to get her
The speaker hurriedly went out to find her
She was holding hands with Trevor
She was seen holding hands with a person named Trevor
Not the greatest feeling ever
The speaker felt a sense of discomfort or disappointment
Said, ""Pull yourself together
Advice to compose oneself and move on
You should try your luck with Heather""
Suggesting trying luck with someone named Heather
Then I heard they slept together
It is revealed that the girl and Trevor were intimate
Oh, the less I know the better
The less the speaker knows about the situation, the better
The less I know the better
Reiteration of the idea that ignorance is preferable
Oh my love, can't you see yourself by my side
Expressing love and desire for the person to be by the speaker's side
No surprise when you're on his shoulder like every night
No surprise that she is often seen with Trevor
Oh my love, can't you see that you're on my mind
Expressing that she is on the speaker's mind
Don't suppose we could convince your lover to change his mind
Expressing hope to change her lover's mind
So goodbye
Saying goodbye to the situation
She said, ""It's not now or never
She suggests that there's no rush, and they could be together in the future
Wait ten years, we'll be together""
Speaker acknowledges the possibility of being together later
I said, ""Better late than never
Speaker prefers late over never
Just don't make me wait forever""
Emphasizing the desire to avoid waiting forever
Don't make me wait forever
Repetition of the plea not to make the speaker wait forever
Don't make me wait forever
-Oh my love, can't you see yourself by my side?
Reiterating the desire for her to be with the speaker
I don't suppose you could convince your lover to change his mind
Expressing doubt about convincing her lover to change his mind
I was doing fine without you
Speaker was doing well without her before
'Til I saw your face, now I can't erase
Seeing her face has brought back memories that are hard to erase
Giving in to all his bullshit
Yielding to the difficulties caused by her lover's behavior
Is this what you want, is this who you are?
Questioning if her current situation reflects who she truly is
I was doing fine without you
Speaker was fine without her before
'Til I saw your eyes turn away from mine
Her eyes turning away signals a change in their relationship
Oh, sweet darling, where he wants you
Expressing concern about where she is being led by her lover
Said, ""Come on Superman, say your stupid line""
A sarcastic reference to asking Superman to intervene with a cliché line
Said, ""Come on Superman, say your stupid line""
Repetition of the sarcastic reference to Superman
Said, ""Come on Superman, say your stupid line""
