Lyrics
Oh I know, I know, you really wanna
The singer acknowledges understanding or empathizing with a desire or feeling.
Oh I know, I know, you really wanna
Reiteration of understanding or acknowledgment of a strong desire.
After all
Implying a realization or conclusion after some event or circumstance.
Don't try
Advising against an attempt or effort.
She's not the one you want tonight
Stating that a particular person is not the ideal choice for the current occasion or situation.
And she won't love you if you love her
Suggesting that if the person loves someone else, that person won't reciprocate that feeling.
Yeah she'll just leave you behind
Indicating that the person being loved would abandon the person showing affection.
She might
Expressing a possibility regarding someone's attractiveness in a specific setting.
Be pretty standing in all of the lights
Describing the physical appearance and demeanor of the person in a positive light.
Be smiling when it's going her way
Observing the person's behavior when things are going well for them.
But she'll turn wrong when you stay right
Suggesting a change in behavior when someone else behaves correctly.
But when she gets that look in her eyes
Describing a specific expression or look in the person's eyes.
I know you see it
Asserting that the observer understands or perceives this look.
Then you, you love her still
Despite observing negative traits, the observer still loves the person.
But sometimes you just can't say goodbye
Admitting the difficulty in parting ways with someone despite negative aspects.
Oh I know, I know, you really wanna
Reiteration of understanding or acknowledging a strong desire.
You'd give her anything but she would only take
Indicating a willingness to give everything to the person despite their tendency to only take.
Oh, I know, I know, you really wanna
Reiteration of understanding or acknowledgment of a strong desire.
Hold open the door but she still wouldn't look your way
Desiring recognition or attention from the person but not receiving it.
She's no good for you
Conveying a judgment about the person's suitability for someone else.
After all
