Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Oh my lord, oh my girl
She left me sitting in the corner without no words
She’s taken all my things all my polyester
I can’t see, I can’t see no weather
(Mandy: Ba da ba ba...)
Try to talk, try to beg
She even gave me a decent reason for why she left
I’m gonna try to get her back, she’ll just say whatever
I can’t see, I can’t see no weather
(Mandy: Ba da ba ba...)
Oh all I’ve got is all I need
I wanna make ya, I wanna make ya believe
Whatever turns you on, whatever turns you on
Cause all I’ve got is all I need
I wanna make ya, I wanna make ya believe
Whatever turns you on, whatever turns you on to me
Oh to me, to me…
I can’t see, I can’t see no weather
I can’t see, I can’t see no weather
I can’t see, I can’t see no weather
I can’t see, I can’t see no weather
I can’t see, I can’t see no weather
I can’t see, I can’t see no weather
I can’t see, I can’t see no weather
I can’t see, I can’t see no weather
(Shawn and Mandy: Na na na...)
Lady lady can't you see, I got the whole world crumbling down on me
I simply can’t allow you breaking up with me until it is time, it is time?
Oh no
Lady lady cant you see, I got the whole world crumbling down on me
I simply can’t allow you breaking up with me until it is time
It is time, uh-oh
She left me sitting in the corner without no words
She’s taken all my things all my polyester
I can’t see, I can’t see no weather
(Mandy: Ba da ba ba...)
Try to talk, try to beg
She even gave me a decent reason for why she left
I’m gonna try to get her back, she’ll just say whatever
I can’t see, I can’t see no weather
(Mandy: Ba da ba ba...)
Oh all I’ve got is all I need
I wanna make ya, I wanna make ya believe
Whatever turns you on, whatever turns you on
Cause all I’ve got is all I need
I wanna make ya, I wanna make ya believe
Whatever turns you on, whatever turns you on to me
Oh to me, to me…
I can’t see, I can’t see no weather
I can’t see, I can’t see no weather
I can’t see, I can’t see no weather
I can’t see, I can’t see no weather
I can’t see, I can’t see no weather
I can’t see, I can’t see no weather
I can’t see, I can’t see no weather
I can’t see, I can’t see no weather
(Shawn and Mandy: Na na na...)
Lady lady can't you see, I got the whole world crumbling down on me
I simply can’t allow you breaking up with me until it is time, it is time?
Oh no
Lady lady cant you see, I got the whole world crumbling down on me
I simply can’t allow you breaking up with me until it is time
It is time, uh-oh

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
I'm surprised no one's commented on this song. First off, it's great fun, and secondly, for a site called "Song Meanings," the meaning of this song is pretty obvious. Surprised it hasn't been mentioned once... This song's another one about a girl leaving a guy and the guy in question just wanting her back no matter what, even though it's obvious why she's leaving him ("She even gave me a decent reason for why she left") and that it's over and done with and you can't turn it around ("She's taken all my things..."). The ending ("I simply can't allow you breaking up with me, I'll do it this time") is basically saying that it's easier being the dumper than the dumpee, and that this guy's so sick and tired of being left, he just wants to do the leaving once.
