Lessons in New Jersey Lyrics
So I met a guy
He's from New Jersey
Took me out to get some food
What you do I asked I play the guitar
Well baby I play the guitar too
Do you have plans for Saturday
Do you think that you could watch me play
I don't know it depends on what's goin' on backstage
So we talked some more of scales and chords
And when I first attempted to
And he told me that's not the way to go
I said baby I don't get you
Don't you ever play what you feel inside
No baby I ain't got the time to figure out
what makes you smile or makes you tend to lie
So he started playing a melody
And wanted me to start soloing
I don't know quite what to do
He said pick it up and I'll help you through
Don't you ever play what you feel inside
No baby I ain't got the time to figure out
what makes you smile or makes you tend to lie
It's too late now
I'll show you how
Put that guitar down
Put that guitar down
Dadalaladada
Dadalaladadada [x4]
Time oh time it slips so fine
It kills me about every time
I decide that time has come
Figure I'll go get me some
That's not what your supposed to do
Don't dare go back the failures too
Maybe I'm a failure too so lets get on with it
Don't you ever play what you feel inside
No baby I ain't got the time to figure out
what makes you smile or makes you tend to lie
It's too late now
And I'll show you how
Put that guitar down
Put that guitar down
So I met a guy
He's from New Jersey
Learned a little more than I thought I would.
Love Me
Love Me
Love Me
Love Me
Well I know it's about a guy she met in NJ, but i think its a little more than learning about guitar. I think she may have fell in love with him and shes asking him "Don't you ever play what you feel inside" and hes telling her "No baby I ain't got the time to figure out what makes you smile or makes you tend to lie " saying i dont have time to love you. And shes saying "It's too late now And I'll show you how Put that guitar down Put that guitar down" meaning ill show you how to love me.
