She cuts her hair
And calls his name
Wishin' everything could be the same
Like when she had him

I'll give you fish
I'll give you candy
I'll give you everthing I have in my hand

Walking out of Korvettes
Package in her hand
Motions to all the seabirds
Throws divinity on the sand

I'll give you fish
I'll give you candy
I'll give you everthing I have in my hand

Give me, give back my man
Give me, give back my man

Head's in a whirlpool
Spinnin' round and round
If she don't get her man back
She's gonna drown

I'll give you fish
I'll give you candy
I'll give you everything I have in my hand

Give her, give back her man (I'll give you fish, I'll give you candy)
(I'll give you everything I have in my hand) oh oh, whoa oh oh


I'll give you fish (oh)
I'll give you candy (oh whoa oh oh)
I'll give you everything I have in my hand (oh oh whoa, oh oh whoa)

I'll give you fish
I'll give you candy
I'll give you everything I have in my hand

    I found this out on youtube, towards the end When Cindy's screaming over the last chorus, the lyrics actually state "Where's that motorboat,'cos he's in the motorboat, Her man's in the motorboat, Give her back her man"

    Fantastic song.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
