I Gotta Girl
Whispers of Love: Yellow Magnolia's Intoxicating Tale
Lyrics
I got a girl who likes to rock 'n' roll
He has a girlfriend who enjoys rock 'n' roll.
But the sex don't bother me
He is not bothered by the sexual aspect of the relationship.
And the drugs don't bother me
He is not bothered by the presence of drugs in their lives.
Met her down at the park just after dark
They first met at a park after dark.
Sitting on the swings and sharing half a dart
They were sitting on swings, sharing a cigarette.
Said she's sick of high school
She expresses a desire to leave high school and age quickly.
And wants to jump to age nineteen
He advises her not to make impulsive statements.
I said darling don't you say those things
He cautions her against saying things she doesn't mean.
That you don't mean
He considers her as an integral part of himself.
She's my viscera, my body
He finds it difficult to speak when she is close but believes she understands him.
And I can never speak when she's close
She makes a subtle entrance with her slippers.
But I don't need to cause she already knows
They are sneaking out for the fourth consecutive night.
She makes her slippers whisper their way down the hall
He waits for her with their bikes, ready to go.
We're sneaking out for the fourth night in a row
They are headed to a private place only they know.
I'm waiting around back
She is an essential part of him, akin to his viscera.
With our two bikes ready to roll
He struggles to speak when she is nearby, but communication is unnecessary as she understands him.
To take her to the place where only we will know
She explicitly asks him where he wants her.
She's my viscera, my body
Repetition emphasizing her importance as his viscera.
Yet I can never speak when she's close
Despite proximity, verbal communication is not needed as they share a deep understanding.
But I don't need to cause she already knows
Repetition underscoring her significance and their non-verbal understanding.
Then all she says to me
She explicitly asks him where he wants her.
Is "tell me where you want me, babe"
Repetition of her direct question about his desires.
And all she says to me
-Is "tell me where you want me. alright"
Repetition of her direct question about his desires, expressing consent.
