Lyrics
Hey fine girl, won't you sit next to me
Invitation to a girl to sit next to the speaker.
I'm gonna give you something free
Suggesting the speaker will offer something for free.
You tell me what you want and I might give it
Asking the girl to express her desires, with a hint of reluctance.
Probably not because I'm a weird, weird kid
Acknowledging the speaker's eccentric or unconventional nature.
You want to be with me
Expressing a desire for the girl to be with the speaker.
Time, only let it be
Emphasizing the importance of time in their interaction.
I think you know how it's gonna be
Implying an expectation of familiarity with the speaker's intentions.
Something tells me you've been here before
Suggesting the girl has experience in a similar situation.
So shake what you have and shake it good
Encouraging the girl to dance or move in a lively manner.
Because I'm coming here to give you my goods
Declaring the speaker's intention to share something valuable.
You want to be with me
Reiteration of the desire for the girl to be with the speaker.
Time, only let it be
Repeating the significance of time in their connection.
You want to be with me
Reiteration of the desire for the girl to be with the speaker.
Time, only let it be
Repeating the emphasis on the role of time.
Now you know that my game is true
Asserting the authenticity of the speaker's approach to relationships.
Step inside and I'll show you what I'll do
Inviting the girl to experience something special inside.
I don't care what you have to say
Expressing indifference to the girl's opinions or objections.
Play this game 'cause it's the only other way
Suggesting that playing a game is the only option available.
You want to be with me
Reiteration of the desire for the girl to be with the speaker.
Time, only let it be
Repeating the importance of time in their connection.
You want to be with me
Reiteration of the desire for the girl to be with the speaker.
Time, only let it be
Repeating the emphasis on the role of time.
La la la la la la la la
La la la repetition, possibly indicating a musical or rhythmic element.
La la la la la la la la
-La la la la la la la la
-You want to be with me
Reiteration of the desire for the girl to be with the speaker.
Time, only let it be

You want to be with me
Reiteration of the desire for the girl to be with the speaker.
Time, only let it be
Repeating the emphasis on the role of time.
