This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I guess you need a little sugar
Cause you always wander around.
How would you like a little fancy,
Whenever you feel a little inside out.
I heard you need a vacation,
Said I bored you right to tears.
I heard my love was a season
That you wore for the pretty girls.
You said no,
That's not the way it goes.
You said no,
That's not the way it goes.
But it is, don't lie,
I've seen that curl up around your smile.
And it is, don't lie,
Who do you think that you're kidding this time?
Only I know, I know you get lonely at night,
I know, I know you get lonely sometimes,
I know, I know you get lonely at night,
Nobody knows you like I do.
I guess you need a little sugar
Cause you never wait around.
I heard you like it to shiver,
It's like right up your spine.
I saw you walking with him,
Down the steps that I walked you in.
I got hurried for midnight,
With slippers of glass and perfect fits.
You said no,
That's not the way it goes.
You said no,
That's not the way it goes.
But it is, don't lie,
I've seen that curl up around your smile.
And it is, don't lie,
Who do you think that you're kidding this time?
Only I know, I know you get lonely at night,
I know, I know you get lonely sometimes,
I know, I know you get lonely at night,
Nobody knows you like I do.
Nobody else waits on you
When your hands shake like the breeze,
And your mind is a permanent dream,
Left your head long before you broke through my door.
Baby, baby, but it is, don't lie,
I've seen that curl up around your smile.
It is, don't lie,
Who do you think is gonna be laughing this time?
It is, don't lie,
I've seen that curl up around your smile.
It is, don't lie,
Who do you think that you're kidding this time?
Cause you always wander around.
How would you like a little fancy,
Whenever you feel a little inside out.
I heard you need a vacation,
Said I bored you right to tears.
I heard my love was a season
That you wore for the pretty girls.
You said no,
That's not the way it goes.
You said no,
That's not the way it goes.
But it is, don't lie,
I've seen that curl up around your smile.
And it is, don't lie,
Who do you think that you're kidding this time?
Only I know, I know you get lonely at night,
I know, I know you get lonely sometimes,
I know, I know you get lonely at night,
Nobody knows you like I do.
I guess you need a little sugar
Cause you never wait around.
I heard you like it to shiver,
It's like right up your spine.
I saw you walking with him,
Down the steps that I walked you in.
I got hurried for midnight,
With slippers of glass and perfect fits.
You said no,
That's not the way it goes.
You said no,
That's not the way it goes.
But it is, don't lie,
I've seen that curl up around your smile.
And it is, don't lie,
Who do you think that you're kidding this time?
Only I know, I know you get lonely at night,
I know, I know you get lonely sometimes,
I know, I know you get lonely at night,
Nobody knows you like I do.
Nobody else waits on you
When your hands shake like the breeze,
And your mind is a permanent dream,
Left your head long before you broke through my door.
Baby, baby, but it is, don't lie,
I've seen that curl up around your smile.
It is, don't lie,
Who do you think is gonna be laughing this time?
It is, don't lie,
I've seen that curl up around your smile.
It is, don't lie,
Who do you think that you're kidding this time?

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Definitely about a girl who isn't sincere about her feelings towards a guy. She's trying to deceive him but he's finally figuring her out.
Also 'sugar' cane be interpreted as love or affection but it can be a reference to coke. So his lover could be a coke addict which would work with the rest of the song:
"How would you like a little fancy, when you feel a little inside out" -about how the drug could make her feel better.
"i heard you like it to shiver It's right up your spine" -Shivering is a symptom of cocaine use/overdose
"Nobody else waits on you When your hands shake like the breeze And your mind is on permanent vacation" -tremors is also a symptom of cocaine overdose. The permanent vacation can be a reference to being high or being in a coma which can result from coke od.
@HunteroftheDusk At first, I thought it was about her stepping out. However, the line:<br /> <br /> "When your hands shake like the breeze"<br /> <br /> Didn't fit. Everything else in the song can be explained by an unfaithful lover, but that line stuck out. Then it hit me, it was about an unfaithful lover, who was doing drugs. All of a sudden, all the lyrics made sense. <br /> <br /> This description captures perfectly how I now view the song. It's also given me insight on some of the references that are clearly drug related, but wasn't sure how exactly. Thank you for the great post :)
