| The Bird and the Bee – You're a Cad Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I guess this one is pretty self-explanatory. The only line that I see as having much ambiguity is "I should be better, but I'm worse." This could just be the speaker expressing some shame about her inability to resist the scoundrel, or it could be her way of hinting that she's the more devious and villainous of the two. The latter is the impression I got from the song upon first listening to it, but I see little else in the lyrics that corroborates that. I think it's the jaunty, upbeat tone of the song. It feels less like she's lamenting her attraction to the guy than she is taunting him, and tempting him. "What's the point pretending that you could be a better man? Just give in, since you always end up right back where you began" She plays the victim to his dastardly ways, but she's the one doing the seduction. |
