It's been a long time since I came around
Been a long time but I'm back in town
And this time I'm not leavin' without you
You taste like Whiskey when you kiss me, oh
I'd give anything again to be your baby doll
This time I'm not leavin' without you
He said, "Sit back down where you belong
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on
Sit back down on the couch where we made love the first time"
And you said to me there's
(Somethin') Somethin', somethin' about this place
(Somethin') Somethin' about lonely nights
And my lipstick on your face
(Somethin') Somethin', somethin' about my cool Nebraska guy
Yeah, somethin' about baby you and I
It's been two years since I let you go
I couldn't listen to a joke or rock and roll
Muscle cars drove a truck right through my heart
On my birthday you sang me A Heart of Gold
With a guitar humming and no clothes
This time I'm not leavin' without you, oh (oh)
Sit back down where you belong
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on
Sit back down on the couch where we made love the first time
And you said to me there's
(Somethin') Somethin', somethin' about this place
(Somethin') Somethin' about lonely nights
And my lipstick on your face
(Somethin') Somethin', somethin' about my cool Nebraska guy
Yeah, somethin' about baby you and I
You and I
You you and I
You you and I
You you and I-I
You and I
You you and I
Oh yeah, I'd rather die
Without you and I
Come on, put your drinks up
We got a whole lot of money, but we still pay rent
'Cause you can't buy a house in Heaven
There's only three men that I'ma serve my whole life
It's my daddy and Nebraska and Jesus Christ, there's
(Somethin') Somethin', somethin' about the chase (six whole years)
(Somethin') I'm a New York woman born to run you down
Still want my lipstick all over your face
(Somethin') Somethin', somethin' about just knowin' when it's right
So put your dreams up for Nebraska
For Nebraska, Nebraska, I love you
You and I
You you and I
Baby I'd rather die
Without you and I-I-I
You and I
You you and I
Nebraska
I'd rather die
Without you and I-I-I
It's been a long time since I came around
Been a long time but I'm back in town
And this time I'm not leavin' without you

"We got a whole lot of money but we still pay rent 'Cause you can't buy a house in Heaven" Ummm, what? What does this have to do with your hometown? Did she die or something? And what makes you think that, anyways? "There's only three men Imma serve my whole life It's my daddy and Nebraska and Jesus Christ" What? Where are you pulling this out of? Nebraska is a state, not a man, genius. Go back to kindergarten. Oh, let's throw in Jesus, just to make a song about doing it religious! They'll love me! Yep, sure makes a whole lot of sense.
Nebraska: Its a metaphor you dickhead, you're the one that needs to go back to Kindergarten!
Are you a moron? Wait, don't answer that.<br /> <br /> Have you ever heard of metaphors, comparisons, similes, etc.? I'll help you out. I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself!<br /> <br /> In music, not everything is literal. See, some artists like their fans to think about what they've written. I'm sure you're used to hearing lyrical gems such as, 'gettin hoes, gettin dollahz' or 'shakin my booty all around', which is definitely quality stuff, but having some depth won't hurt you, I promise.<br /> <br /> Also, I'm not religious, but I won't assume that because I'm not, an artist can't be, because, much like you, I don't know them.<br /> <br /> To be honest, you just sound like a hater.
I find it interesting that you think <br /> A.) Lady Gaga's music is designed to make people think<br /> B.) I listen to such crap as you just listened<br /> Nice try, but pretty far off the mark.
a metaphor for what?
