Nobody's Sweetheart
Unveiling the Evolution of Self-Perception: "Nobody's Sweetheart
Lyrics
You're nobody's sweetheart now,
You are currently not in a romantic relationship.
'Cause nobody wants you, somehow;
It seems that no one desires or values you at the moment.
Fancy hose, silken gown,
Refers to elegant stockings and a luxurious dress.
You'd be out of place in your own home town!
You would appear out of place in the town where you grew up.
When you walk down that old avenue,
Describing a stroll along a familiar street.
I just can't believe that it's you!
Expresses disbelief that the person walking is really you.
Painted lips, painted eyes,
Mentions the use of makeup, such as lipstick and eye makeup.
Wearin' a bird of paradise!
Wearing an extravagant and attention-grabbing ornament or accessory.
Well it all seems wrong somehow,
There is a sense of disapproval or discomfort with the current situation.
But you're nobody's sweetheart now.
Reiterates that you are not romantically involved with anyone.
You're nobody's sweetheart now,
Repetition of the idea that you are currently not someone's romantic interest.
'Cause nobody wants you, somehow;
Reiterates the notion that nobody seems to desire you.
Fancy hose, silken gown,
Refers again to elegant stockings and a luxurious dress.
You'd be out of place in your own home town!
Emphasizes that you would feel out of place in your hometown.
When you walk down that old avenue, oh-ho,
A repetition of walking down a familiar street with added emphasis.
I just can't believe that it's you!
Repeats the disbelief at the transformed appearance of the person.
Painted lips, painted eyes,
Reiteration of the use of makeup, like painted lips and eyes.
Wearin' a bird of paradise!
Wearing an attention-grabbing and exotic ornament or accessory.
Well it all seems wrong somehow,
Expresses the continued discomfort or disapproval of the current situation.
But you're nobody's sweetheart now.
Concludes with the reaffirmation that you are currently not someone's romantic interest.
