The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
I am your sexy girl
I am your baby girl
I am your innocence
I am your mother
I'm Lady Chatterly
Or Lady Chastity
Or some anonymous lover
I can be your little virgin (At the Commack Motor Inn)
Or your dominatrix (In your parent's bed)
We'll play some spin the bottle
We'll play some Marvin Gaye
Or we can dress you up in women's clothing
[Chorus:]
Let's go shopping at the Pink Pussycat
You talk to the salesman
I'll hide in the back
I may be bashful but
I got the cash 'cause
I ain't afraid to try new things like that
Whatever you're thinking
Whatever you're feeling
I'll be either one or
All of the above
Whatever you're thinking
Whatever you're feeling
I'll be either one or
All of the above
I'm a widow in mourning (Lonely for your love)
I'm the bride on her wedding day (And you are not the groom)
I'm a singing telegram at 2AM
Or the french maid who comes to clean your room
[Chorus]
I'll keep you guessing, babe
You won't need confession, no
I'll be either one or
All of the above
Well I couldn't imagine
If I couldn't be myself
'Cause if you're afraid to ask for what you want
Then you might rebel
But if you've got that combination, where
You can play some 'show and tell'
Well don't be shameful
I am your rainbow
Liberate your body and
Soothe your soul
I can be your baby-sitter (Who let you stay up late)
Or your best friend's mother (Really hot date)
Or your favorite cousin (She taught you how to french kiss)
Or Miss Finnegan from health class
I'm a school girl in knee socks (With pig-tails in her hair)
I'm Aphrodite for dinner (Or Linda Carter)
I'm rose petals
I'm ruby wine
And if you want
I'll be the president's wife
[Chorus]
I am your baby girl
I am your innocence
I am your mother
I'm Lady Chatterly
Or Lady Chastity
Or some anonymous lover
I can be your little virgin (At the Commack Motor Inn)
Or your dominatrix (In your parent's bed)
We'll play some spin the bottle
We'll play some Marvin Gaye
Or we can dress you up in women's clothing
[Chorus:]
Let's go shopping at the Pink Pussycat

Whatever you're feeling

Whatever you're thinking
Whatever you're feeling

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
this song is saying that you will do and/or be any thing that your guy wants you to, I totally feel that way, I'd do anything for RJ,, love you baby!
It's just a fun, sexy song saying she'll do anything to make her man happy
Idina Menzel is so amazing. Basically the song is saying, I'm up for anything that you can think of ;)
