Lyrics
Standing on the corner of 6th and How To Forget
Contemplating on 6th and How To Forget, possibly a symbolic intersection of memories and choices.
Trying to do right by you all night Annette
Attempting to act morally towards Annette throughout the night.
You can go ahead and get married
Giving permission for Annette to marry someone else.
And this will be our secret thing
Sharing a secret connection, suggesting an affair or hidden relationship.
I won't tell a soul except the people in the nightclub where I sing
Promising not to reveal the secret, except to those at the nightclub where the singer performs.
I don't want to get you all worked up
Expressing a desire not to cause emotional turmoil, even though secretly wishing to.
Except secretly I do
Admitting a hidden desire to evoke strong emotions.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't have designs on you
Confessing that the singer has romantic intentions or aspirations towards Annette.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't have designs on you
Reiterating the singer's romantic interest in Annette.
Standing on the corner of 6th and Where do I go
Reflecting on a different location, possibly indicating a shift in emotional state.
The parade's shut down now the rain is running the show
Parade interruption by rain symbolizing external factors affecting plans.
Where did all these people come from
Questioning the sudden presence of people and their impact on the situation.
And how soon can they leave
Expressing a need for solitude, contrasting with the desire for social interaction.
Normally I'd be into it but I need to get some sleep
Normally enjoying the crowd but needing rest at the moment.
Though I do wish you'd come over
Expressing a desire for Annette to visit, but with a cautionary tone.
But I'm warning you if you do
Warning about potential consequences if Annette chooses to come over.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't have designs on you
Reiterating the singer's romantic designs on Annette.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't have designs on you
Emphasizing the sincerity of the previous statement.
Standing on the corner of 6th and Where Do I Get
Returning to the initial location, possibly indicating a cycle of thoughts or emotions.
Trying to do right by you all night Annette
Continuing the attempt to act righteously towards Annette.
This would only be an experiment
Presenting the romantic interest as an experiment in unrealized possibilities.
In things that could have been
Reflecting on missed opportunities and what could have been.
And you can go ahead and get married
Reiterating permission for Annette to marry someone else.
And it'll probably never happen again
Suggesting that the romantic encounter may be a one-time event.
I don't mean to make you excited
Expressing a desire not to raise expectations but secretly desiring excitement.
Except secretly I do
Admitting a hidden longing for excitement and emotional intensity.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't have designs on you
Reiterating the singer's romantic intentions towards Annette.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't have designs on you
Reaffirming the sincerity of the previous statements.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't have designs on you
Emphasizing once again the singer's romantic designs on Annette.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't have designs on you
Final confirmation of the singer's honesty about their romantic feelings.
