Seven Days
Seven Days of Love's Dilemma
Lyrics
"Seven days" was all she wrote
"Seven days" was the duration mentioned in a message she conveyed
A kind of ultimatum note
An ultimatum, a decisive message, was written
She gave to me, she gave to me
She presented the ultimatum to the speaker
When I thought the field had cleared
When the speaker believed the competition was resolved
It seems another suit appeared
Another contender emerged unexpectedly
To challenge me, woe is me
The new challenge brought distress to the speaker
Though I hate to make a choice
Despite disliking making decisions
My options are decreasing mostly rapidly
Choices are diminishing rapidly for the speaker
Well we'll see
Outcome remains uncertain
I don't think she'd bluff this time
The speaker doubts her sincerity this time
I really have to make her mine
The speaker feels compelled to win her over
It's plain to see
It's evident that a decision must be made
It's him or me
A choice between the speaker and the rival
Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
Monday is an acceptable day to decide
If I make up my mind
Decision can be delayed until Tuesday
Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind
Wednesday is also a feasible decision day
Friday'd give me time, Saturday could wait
Friday is the last day to decide, but Sunday is too late
But Sunday'd be too late
The urgency of the decision on Sunday
The fact he's over six feet ten
The rival's imposing stature might intimidate others
Might instill fear in other men
But not the speaker, referred to as "The Mighty Flea"
But not in me, The Mighty Flea (flee?)
The speaker does not fear the rival
Ask if I am mouse or man
Uncertainty about the speaker's identity (mouse or man)
The mirror squeaked, away I ran
The speaker avoids confrontation, runs away
He'll murder me in time for his tea
The rival will harm the speaker before having tea
Does it bother me at all
The speaker questions if the rivalry bothers them
My rival is Neanderthal it makes me think
Comparing the rival to a Neanderthal, prompting a desire for a drink
Perhaps I need a drink
The speaker contemplates the need for a drink
IQ is no problem here
Intelligence is not a factor in this competition
We won't be playing scrabble for her hand I fear
No intellectual competition for her affection
I need that beer
The speaker desires a beer
Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
Monday is a potential decision day
If I make up my mind
Decision can be delayed until Tuesday
Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind
Wednesday is also a feasible decision day
Friday'd give me time, Saturday could wait
Friday is the last day to decide, but Sunday is too late
But Sunday'd be too late
The urgency of the decision on Sunday
Seven days will quickly go
Seven days will pass quickly
The fact remains, I love her so
Despite the challenge, the speaker loves her deeply
Seven days, so many ways
Seven days, numerous approaches
But I can't run away
The speaker cannot escape the situation
Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
Monday is a potential decision day
If I make up my mind
Decision can be delayed until Tuesday
Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind
Wednesday is also a feasible decision day
Friday'd give me time, Saturday could wait
Friday is the last day to decide, but Sunday is too late
But Sunday'd be too late
The urgency of the decision on Sunday
Do I have to tell a story
The speaker questions if narrating a story is necessary
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
Reflecting on numerous rainy days since their first meeting
It's a big enough umbrella
There is sufficient shelter (umbrella), but the speaker often gets hurt
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
The speaker consistently faces the consequences
