Cindy's Lament
Cindy's Unspoken Affection: A Tale of Unrequited Love
Lyrics
Listen here
Expressing a request for attention and focus.
You don't have to love me always Cindy
Acknowledging that constant love is not necessary from Cindy.
You don't need to see me every day of the week
Stating that daily presence is not a requirement in the relationship.
You don't have to notice my brand new shoes
Indicating that small details like shoes are not essential for Cindy to notice.
But please, please say hello some time
Pleading for a simple greeting from Cindy at some point.
You know I've tried to impress you Cindy
Highlighting efforts made to impress Cindy, including lending a library book.
I even lent ya my library book
Recalling a specific gesture of lending a library book to Cindy.
I guess you forgot, good God you soon forgot it woman
Expressing disappointment at Cindy forgetting the gesture.
I don't mind but please say hello some time
Reiterating the desire for a simple greeting from Cindy.
And your mother she can't stand my face
Noting disapproval from Cindy's mother towards the speaker's presence.
And your brother keeps me from your door
Acknowledging resistance from Cindy's brother in allowing access.
But I'll stay around yes I'll stay around honey
Committing to staying around despite challenges.
I'll even watch over your garden fence
Offering to protect and watch over Cindy's property.
I've watched your friends Cindy laugh in my face
Observing mockery from Cindy's friends and refusing to apologize for being true to oneself.
But I won't apologize for the way that I am
Asserting a lack of regret for being genuine.
If only they knew baby, yes if only they knew
Expressing a wish that others understood the speaker's connection with Cindy.
That you've already spent one night with me honey
Revealing a past intimate encounter between the speaker and Cindy.
