Party girl

I know she wants more than a party

And she won't tell me her name

Party girl's refusal to disclose her name.


I know a boy, a boy called Trash

Trash Can

Trash's association with a trash can.

I know he does all that he can

Acknowledgment that Trash does his best.

Wham Bam

And he won't tell me his name

Trash's reluctance to reveal his name.


I have a heart, a heart that's beating inside

Declaration of possessing a beating heart.

When I was three I thought the world revolved around me

Recollection of a childhood belief in self-centeredness.

I was wrong

Acknowledgment of the error in the belief.

And so I sing along

Embracing a singing response to life's experiences.

And if you dance, then dance with me

Invitation to dance, possibly as a metaphor for engaging with life.

You know what I mean

I think you know what he wants
