Romantic Type Lyrics
I can see you standing there like you know what to do
You all think you know me but you haven’t got a clue
Well I can see you looking but you’re looking at the floor
No I don’t think I really care ‘cause you’ve paid at the door
And it’s not that I’m not the romantic type
It’s just that I like what I choose to like
And if you’d only take the time to look my way
If you would only take the time to see well I might let you stay
Well I know that you want something and you want it from me
Everyone says we’re the same but I just can not see
And I know what you're asking for 'cause I've just read the sign
Would paying once or maybe twice be really such a crime?
And it’s not that I’m not the romantic type
It’s just that I like what I choose to like
And if you’d only take the time to look my way
If you would only take the time to see well I might let you stay

It’s not that I’m not the romantic type
It’s just that I like what I choose to like
And it’s not that I’m not the romantic type
It’s just that I like what I choose to like
You all think you know me but you haven’t got a clue
Well I can see you looking but you’re looking at the floor
No I don’t think I really care ‘cause you’ve paid at the door
It’s just that I like what I choose to like
And if you’d only take the time to look my way
If you would only take the time to see well I might let you stay
Everyone says we’re the same but I just can not see
And I know what you're asking for 'cause I've just read the sign
Would paying once or maybe twice be really such a crime?
It’s just that I like what I choose to like
And if you’d only take the time to look my way
If you would only take the time to see well I might let you stay
It’s just that I like what I choose to like
And it’s not that I’m not the romantic type
It’s just that I like what I choose to like

this song is awsum an so's the band thanks 4 tabbin
i think this ones about payin for sex.. its amazin anyways :)
sweet song!!!
...Pyaing for sex..? I thought it was about a guy who likes what he chooses to like...oh dear...
Great song though! Very 'different' lyrics...reminds me of the Undertones oddly enough.
haha was just a guess cause of the.. "Would paying once or maybe twice be really such a crime?" bit :)
i agree, its about a guy is ignored by this girl and decides to go to a brothel, not sure about the first bit, but im sure it is about paiyng for sex, both the "Would paying once or maybe twice be really such a crime?" part and the "I don’t think I really care ‘cause you’ve paid at the door" bit make this certain
terrible
well i thought it meant something like: this guy is singing about girls in general. he is kind of flippant and unpredictable, and they all think "they know him" (because they want to date him) but they don't. girls fancy him,he dates them, but only for sex: and once they've realized he's a user, they "look at the floor." Bus he doesn't care that they've all realized he's a user, because they've already "paid at the door" (as in, they've already slept with him).
Hence him not being the "romantic type". he isn't looking for love or relationships. "Well I know that you want something and you want it from me" (they want commintment). He says back to them: "Would paying once or maybe twice be really such a crime?" basically, he says; well we can date eachother, but i want regular fun and sex (paying once or twice)
well thats just the vibe a got from this song; a commitment-phobe who messes around with girls. they want him to settle, but he just wants fun.
what do you think? :)
sorry, i must add more: the guy must be really hot or something, coz the girls all fancy him. he seems selfish and mean, but i can detect a glimmer of emotion, when he sings; "And if you’d only take the time to look my way If you would only take the time to see well I might let you stay." Basically, if they'd only look beyong his good-looks then they might see the real him, and he then might want a relationship with them (i might let you stay). He seems kinda loney.
yep sounds right to me :)
