So Good To See You Lyrics

Ooh, it's so good to see you
I couldn't wait another day
Ooh, I hope everyone missed you
You know they want you to stay

Home in one month
Couldn't feel better if I tried
Won't even write
It's better that'll be a surprise
I can't expect to be a household word
I don't mind, just let me inside
I don't expect to be seen or heard
I won't mind, I've nothin' to hide

Ooh, it's so good to see you
I couldn't wait another day
So good to see you
Ooh, I hope everyone missed you
You know they want you to stay

Home in one week
Gettin' so much closer all the time
Seems like overnight
It's better that'll be a surprise

We shouldn't get to be too close friends
I don't mind, I've nothin' to hide
We couldn't get to be too close friends
You won't mind if you've nothin' to hide

Ooh, it's so good to see you
I couldn't wait another day
So good to see you
Oo, I hope everyone missed you
You know they want you to stay

Don't stop to think what you're doin'
I'll surprise you anytime
Don't stop to do what you're thinkin'
You're just wastin' your time

Ooh, it's so good to see you
I couldn't wait another day
So good to see you
Oo, I hope everyone missed you
I really want you to stay

On the surface it sounds it's about a man who is counting down the time until he gets out of jail. There seems to be a darker sub-text, though, starting with the opening chorus: "I hope everyone missed you, you know they want you to stay". I think it's about a man who's in jail for domestic assault and is fantasizing about hurting the object of his 'affection'/obsession when he gets out. "Don't stop to do what you're thinking, you're just wasting your time." sounds like a threat.

My Interpretation

imagine no music for a whole month. My cousin came home from a 30 day jail sentence. This was the first album he played.In Color --The lyrics seem to fit his mood -about being away and coming back home... home in one month etc...
