As a follow-up to my previous comment, I'm going to argue that Wannabe and Say You'll Be There are cross-referential; two different sides of the same coin. Both deal with a guy who started as a friend and now wants to get together; Say You'll Be There is just the more downtempo (though still jiggy), soulful side of the story. I actually think that the entire meaning of Say You'll Be There, for the reasons stated above, can instead be found in the following lyric from Wannabe: "Now don't go wastin' my precious time! Get your act together; we could be just fine :)" (I would also argue the smiley face is implied.) |

I don't think the girl in question is contradictory at all, nor is the guy really. She basically rejected this guy because he was giving her a headache with his lack of ability to commit. She decided, ya know what? Let's just be friends. It's not worth me fretting over (she seems perfectly content to move on). He keeps coming back to her because, naturally, he's falling in LOVE (she's a f**king Spice Girl, how could he not?), but he doesn't want to pay the price (which is to make a commitment). She's like: look, I'll give you everything I've got and then some, but you'd have to meet me halfway (commit), or else game over. It's like, if you negotiate a price with a vendor and the vendor says I won't go lower than $40, you decide to walk from it, and then you can't get it out of your head, so you come back and ask if they'll go any lower and they won't–the salesperson says "look, it's a great item, I will even throw in [insert relevant item], I promise you it's amazing, but I'm not going lower than $40." Is either person being contradictory? I think it goes perfectly with their general "girl power" message. |

@simdanes has it pretty much perfect... 1 minor correction: in the 2nd verse she's saying "scummy", not "dummy". (2nd Verse) I don't mean to critique on your seduction technique But your money's not impressing me; it's kinda weak That you really think you're gonna get my rocks off Get my top and socks off, by showing me the dollars in your drop box Me and all my friends, we don't buy bottles, we bring 'em We take the drinks from the tables when you get up and leave 'em And I don't care if you stare and you call us "scummy" 'Cause we ain't after your affection, and sure as hell not your money, honey |
