This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
If she knew what she wants
(He'd be giving it to her)
If she knew what she needs
(He could give her that too)
If she knew what she wants
(But he can't see through her)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her
But she wants everything
(He can pretend to give her everything)
Or there's nothing she wants
(She don't want to sort it out)
He's crazy for this girl
(But she don't know what she's looking for)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her
I'd say her values are corrupted
But she's open to change
Then one day she's satisfied
And the next I'll find her crying
And it's nothing she can explain
Some have a style
That they work hard to refine
So they walk a crooked line
But she won't understand
Why anyone would have to try
To walk a line when they could fly
No sense thinking I could rehabilitate her
When she's fine, fine, fine
She's got so many ideas traveling around in her head
She doesn't need nothing from mine
(He'd be giving it to her)

@[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.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Jules Shear wrote and recorded the song (not Crenshaw). Originally, it was "If she knew what she wants, I'd be giving it to her". The Bangles changed it to ".. he'd be giving it to her" and altered the verse-bridge sequence. There's a version of Jules' version on youtube.
It's a brilliant song about a guy who is head-over-heels about a complicated woman that he doesn't understand.
@fanofoldies When will men and women ever understand each other.
I change the lyrics around to be singing about a guy. I relate better to the song that way.
this song to me means there is this guy and he's head over heels for this girl but shes not really sure wether he is the right man to get involved with even though he'd give her the world
Man!! I already heard this song...but ...because I
m mexican...I never think that its talking about the last few years of my life with my wife...and this song touch me very deep...`couse...at this time were going to divorce.....And the part that say :"If she knew what she wants (But he can't see through her)"....it is the matter why she said that i don`t understand her...
And "She's got so many ideas traveling around in her head. She doesn't need nothing from mine" its the actual way of our relationship...

To me this song is about a serious lack of communication. Whenever I hear it I think, yeah that's me, keeping it all bottled up inside and telling everyone I'm fine, fine, fine, when inside my head and my heart just want to scream.
As far back as I can recall, this song was either a Marshall Crenshaw cover or Crenshaw wrote this song just for the Bangles.
Now I've truly dated myself-eeekkk!!!!
It's awite.It's a great song and yes I know who Marshall Crenshaw is too.Yes EEek! We're old! lol
I have to add that on another level, it's about the conflicts between how a woman sees a relationship vs. how a man sees a relationship. Love is never simple in the mind of a woman; it's a thing she has to think about carefully. Also I'm sensing that is about love for someone in their late teens-early 20's or so; in that time, a person is faced with a lot of life choices that will affect him/her for the rest of his/her life. The female is trying to decide various things, and sees what she wants in a lover as another challenge to her life that she must plot over carefully.
Its about the tragedy about the misunderstandings between men and women as far as love is concerned .<br /> I was in this situation too many times myself. Unfortunatly men and women will never understand each other. We tend to fall in love with the wrong people for the wrong reasons and we usually end up heartbroken .<br /> Women are from Venus and men are from Mars.
The song seems very simply about a guy who doesn't understand a woman he's in love with.
However.
My personal interpretation is about a couple dealing with one partner's (the woman in this case) depression. She doesn't know what she wants to make her happy, but if she knew what it was he'd do anything to give it to her.
