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.
I spy with my little eye something that begins with 'I don't care',
That this song, has a melody.
Or that the beats are not complex,
I'm just trying to make you sing,
And not be perplexed.
It doesn't mean any less.
Face, in a crowd.
If you don't care then why are you singing out?
Face, in a crowd.
If you don't care then why are you singing out?
Why are you singing out?
And I spy with my little eye something that begins with 'I have just',
I have just begun to realise.
Put on my favourite song,
Forgot this style instructs you to sing aloud
Why don't you sing along?
It goes,
Face, in a crowd.
If you don't care then why are you singing out?
Face, in a crowd.
If you don't care then why are you singing out?
And I can hear you singing,
La la la la la la la la la laaa,
You're singing,
La la la la la laa.
It doesn't matter that this song has a simple tune,
Even though it's not what I'm supposed to do,
What I'm supposed to do,
What I'm supposed to doooo,
What I'm supposed to doooo...
It doesn't matter that this song has a simple tune,
Even though it's not what I'm supposed to do,
What I'm supposed to do.
And can you hear me going?
La la la la la la la la la laaa,
La la la la la la la la la laaa,
Now it doesn't matter that this song has a simple tune,
Even though it's not what I'm supposed to do,
What I'm supposed to do.
That this song, has a melody.
Or that the beats are not complex,
I'm just trying to make you sing,
And not be perplexed.
It doesn't mean any less.
Face, in a crowd.
If you don't care then why are you singing out?
Face, in a crowd.
If you don't care then why are you singing out?
Why are you singing out?
And I spy with my little eye something that begins with 'I have just',
I have just begun to realise.

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?

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.
Irony on songmeanings haha!
