It's cold tonight,
I heard her say.
She was staring out the window
As I came home late.
She tried to smile
But looked away
Oh I could see the tears were running
Down her face
She said...
You go to work,
You pay the bills.
I stay at home,
And I make the meals

But you don't even know who I am anymore.
You're a million miles away
Though I see you every day
And I've been waiting right here,
Oh for all these years
And sometimes I get so lonely,
I need to know you love me
But do you even know me anymore?

I turned around.
To see my son.
Oh, I remember his first birthday,
Now he's twenty-one.
I missed his life.
I missed it all,
Oh, to him I was a man
Just living down the hall.
He said... I learned to live,
Without you Dad
But I'd give it all
Just to have you back.

But you don't even know who I am anymore.
I used to wait at all my games
But still you never came
And I've been waiting right here,
Oh for all these years
From the time you said you'd owe me,
I've wanted you to show me
But you don't even know me anymore?

I've watched my days,
Turn into years
And now I'm wondering how I wound up here.
I dreamed my dreams
I made my plans
But all I've built here is an empty man.

And I don't even know who I am anymore.
Oh, God I'm praying through the tears,
Let me make up for these years
Oh, have I waited too long?
Can I start again,
To be the man you've wanted of me
I'm begging you to show me
But do you even know me anymore?

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
