jealousy crawls into bed with me
i let her have her way
and all she left was a ghost of an unappealing presence
to permanently remind me i always want what i can't have
but she says how can you be lonely if you were never alone from the start?
sweet talk sweetie won't get the job done and
sweet talk sweetie is just a twist of the tongue
you are the reason i can't see tonight
you are the air i lack from it's lung
so i'll choke out the words
they roll off your tongue
sweet talk sweetie won't get the job done and
sweet talk sweetie is just a twist of the tongue
jealousy crawls into bed with me
i let her have her way
and all she left was a ghost of an unappealing presence
sweet talk sweetie won't get the job done and
sweet talk sweetie is just a twist of the tongue

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.
