yeah, yeah
ha ha ha!


girl, it's been a long time
since we had it going on that way
feelings getting stronger
each and every day

wake up, oh yeah
I can feel you, but you're not there
holding on to thin air
'cause you're dreaming of somebody else

we're sexed-up
our tongues curled
we used to have it goin' on, girl
washed our worries from this hard world
now you're dreaming of somebody else

girl, it's been a long time
since we had it going on that way
feelings getting stronger
each and every day

girl, it's been a long time
since we had it going on that way
feelings getting stronger
each and every day

and if you call me back, girl
[I'll be there! I'll be there!]
yeah, I will be your man
[I'll be there! I'll be there!]
well, you may lie your ass off
[you weren't there! you weren't there!]
girl

you say the longer we go,
the more your friends are freaking out
well, you oughta know
I wouldn't stand between you,
but my deafness screams sometimes
my heart has gravity sickness
I just don't know —
is it me, or is it you?
what are you trying to do?


girl, it's been a long time
since we had it going on that way
feelings getting stronger
each and every day

girl, it's been a long time
since we had it going on that way
and it's getting stronger
each and every day

    This song is another classic satire by Ben Folds. It obviously teases all the "hot" boy bands that are so popular today. In acordance with the rules of his producers, he is required to put out 4.6 (if I remember correctly) songs every so often, and this was one of them. 3.6 is the average number of songs put out by some survey his producers collected. Another song that he did for this is aptly named "One down (and 3.6 tomorrow)"

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”
