I can't explain but I wanna try
There's this image of you and I
And it goes dancing by
In the morning and in the night time

There's all these secrets that I can't keep
Like in my heart there's that hotel suite
And you lived there so long
It's kinda strange, now you're gone

I'm not sure if I should
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop) Show you what I've found
Has it gone for good? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Or is it coming back around? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Isn't it hard to make up your mind? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop) When you're losing
And your fuse is fireside? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)

There's all those places we used to go
And I suspect you already know
But that place on memory lane you like still looks the same
But something about it's changed

I'm not sure if I should
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop) Show you what I've found
Has it gone for good? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Or is it coming back around? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Isn't it hard to make up your mind? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop) When you're losing
And your fuse is fireside? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)

And I thought I was yours (shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Forever (shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Or maybe I was mistaken (shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
But I just cannot manage (shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
To make it through the day (shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Without thinking of you lately

I'm not sure if I should
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop) Show you what I've found
Has it gone for good? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Or is it coming back around? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Isn't it hard to make up your mind? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop) When you're losing
And your fuse is fireside? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)

(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)

(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)

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”
