Lyrics
You're a woman - you're a child
You possess both qualities of a woman and a child
Sometimes you're weak and then you're wild
Your demeanor varies, shifting from vulnerability to wildness
And I just can't understand
The singer struggles to comprehend your nature
'cause I'm a boy who plays the part of a man, now
The singer identifies as a boy playing the role of a man
It's not hard to see
It's evident and not difficult to perceive
Must be the way it was meant to be
Suggests that the relationship follows a natural course
You keep me guessin' all the time
You keep the singer guessing with your unpredictable behavior
You play the fool and then you shine
You alternate between acting foolishly and radiating brilliance
Can I meet you in between?
The singer contemplates meeting halfway in the relationship
'cause you know we could both do without a scene, now
Avoiding unnecessary conflicts is mutually beneficial
I don't mean to blame you
The singer doesn't intend to blame you for the challenges
I got some work of my own to do
Acknowledges having personal challenges to address
Ooh - We could tear it down and build it up again
Suggests the possibility of rebuilding the relationship
I'm talkin' 'bout you and me, first of all, learnin'
Emphasizes the need for mutual learning between the partners
And maybe then we can make amends
Hopes for reconciliation and resolution of differences
We could follow it through to the very end - it's true
Commitment to seeing the relationship through to the end
I'm talkin' 'bout me and you
Reiterates the focus on the relationship between the singer and you
Me and you
Repetition emphasizing the connection between "Me and You"
We could tear it down and build it up again...
Reiteration of the possibility of rebuilding the relationship
