We need to call a leader
We need to convene
Sometimes I just don’t understand what you mean
Sometimes you’re funny, but mostly you’re not
I think I’m gonna have to put you back in your box
Back in your box
Back in your box
Yeah that’s the place I keep my pants and socks
Back in your box, your box, your box

Everything you say to me is driving me crazy
Everything you do just makes me feel good
But I just wanna get back in that box with you
Maybe there’ll be rooms for two

Oh yeah, your conversations got me going up the wall
He said this when you say nothing at all
Calls for desperate measures, we’ll move on the stage
I think I’m gonna have to put you back in your cage
Back in your cage
Back in your cage
Yeah that’s until you learned to act your age
Back in your cage, your cage, your cage

You spend my cash
You drive me mad
You even smoked my flass (?)
You never deject
But in the end
We got a band
I gotta bend my party just to get a little morning with you

Oh yeah, we need to call a leader
We need to convene
Sometimes I just don’t understand what you mean
Sometimes you’re funny, but mostly you’re not
I think I’m gonna have to put you back in your box
Back in your box
Back in your box
Yeah that’s the place I keep my pants and socks
Back in your box, your box, your box

Everything you say to me is driving me crazy
Everything you do just makes me feel good
I just wanna get back in that box with you

    The song is amazing, just like all the other songs of the 1990s. (:

    I think it's about a boy who's really annoyed with the girl - he doesn't like the way she talks or the things she does. But in the end he still loves her.

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.
