This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Come on
Come on
Come on
Every time I look up (come on)
I see it in your face, you wanna hook up with me
(You know you wanna hook up, stop playing)
Instead of acting like you're supposed to
You cop an attitude like you're too good for me
And you know good and damn well that
If I wanted, I could take you from your man (please believe it)
With my eyes closed, I could have you eating out the palm of my hand
And all your little girlfriends, too
(No, you can't get with me, but I want you)
Yes I can, and I will if I, if I want to
If I, if I want to, baby
Ain't nobody trying to clown you
But you're too damn old to play high school games with me
(You know that man, too damn old)
Yes, you do
'Cause even when I'm not around you
I be hearin' from my friends you be asking 'bout me
"What's up with him?" That's what you be saying
I don't really care
How long you've been together with your man
It's just a matter of time
Before I make you mine
I wanna make it clear
So there's no misunderstandings
That I get, what I want
When I want (hey)
If I wanted, I could take you from your man (please, believe it)
With my eyes closed, I could have you eating out the palm of my hand
And all your little girlfriends, too
(No, you can't get with me, but I want you)
Yes I can, and I will if I, if I want to
If I, if I want to, baby
If I wanted, I could take you from your man (please, believe it)
With my eyes closed, I could have you eating out the palm of my hand
And all your little girlfriends, too
(No, you can't get with me, but I want you)
Yes I can, and I will if I, if I want to
If I, if I want to, baby
That I get, what I want
When I want
(You know how it go, girl)
If I wanted to
(If I wanted to)
(I could have you doing whatever I want you to, you know?)
(Right now, I'm just not really doing that)
(But if I wanted to, anything)
(I'm saying)
(You and your girls, I could have them too)
Listen to me (it's crazy)

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
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.
