Lyrics
You don't have to send me flowers like you used to do
The speaker doesn't require traditional romantic gestures like sending flowers anymore.
You don't have to buy me candy, I'll still be your fool
The speaker will still remain devoted even without material gifts like candy.
All I ask is for a little decency and class
The speaker asks for basic respect and sophistication in the relationship.
Next time wipe the lipstick off your collar
Asking the partner to erase evidence of infidelity by wiping lipstick off the collar.
You don't have to take me dancing, our backyard will do
Suggests contentment with simple pleasures like dancing in the backyard.
We don't have to eat to fancy, hamburgers are cool
Emphasizes that expensive outings are unnecessary; simplicity is appreciated.
I don't care if you stay out until the break of dawn
The speaker doesn't mind the partner staying out late but requests discretion.
Next time wipe the lipstick off your collar
Reiterating the request to remove evidence of cheating in the future.
Can't you understand, I want a true love man?
Desire for a partner who genuinely loves.
Can't you comprehend, I want a lover, not a friend?
Desire for a romantic relationship, not just a platonic friendship.
I don't care for sugar-coated flattery, French kiss will suffice
Prefer honesty and genuine affection over superficial compliments.
Blame our sex on your run-down battery, holding you is nice
Excusing a lack of physical intimacy by attributing it to the partner's tiredness.
I know when you're lying, baby, there's no need to scream
Asserting the ability to detect when the partner is dishonest.
There's no need to shout
Advising against unnecessary confrontation or argument.
Next time wipe the lipstick off your collar
Repetition of the request to remove evidence of infidelity.
If you weren't so tired, baby, we'd be on the floor
Implies that physical intimacy could occur if the partner wasn't fatigued.
We'd be makin' love right now, ooh
Expresses a desire for intimacy despite the current circumstances.
Next time wipe the lipstick off your collar
Reiterating the request to erase evidence of cheating for future instances.
