Rob Me Blind Lyrics
Can we clear the air between us?
And can we do it soon?
I've been clawing at the mortar
Your nails are dirty too
When night falls, I crawl
to the window and reach for the pain
I'll fall
But I call you anyway
Someday we'll be eating lobster
and drinking fine champagnes
I'll sell seashells by your seashore
'til you swim through my veins
He who sails is he who discovers
Let's hear anchors aweigh
There's space to claim under these covers
You steer clear of here, anyway
You and me we spark
No I take that back
Like a dancer in the dark
My beauty it's black
Just match your lips up to mine
Come on and steal a kiss or rob me blind
You dont need another player gambling for your charms
Dreaming of a victory wrapped up in your coat of arms
I bid more if you're taking score, and i'm all set to pay
But I'll lose cause you'll choose him, anyway
You and me we spark
No I take that back
Like a dancer in the dark
My beauty it's black
Just match your lips up to mine
Come on and steal a kiss or rob me blind
The greatest thing I ever learned is I dont know a thing
The hardest thing I ever earned is a chance in the ring
"simple boys make better boyfriends"; that just isn't true
And time will tick 'til you can see there's no simple in loving you
oh oh oh
You and me we spark
No I take that back
Like a dancer in the dark
My beauty it's black
Just match your lips up to mine
Come on and steal a kiss or rob me blind
And can we do it soon?
I've been clawing at the mortar
Your nails are dirty too
When night falls, I crawl
to the window and reach for the pain
I'll fall
But I call you anyway
and drinking fine champagnes
I'll sell seashells by your seashore
'til you swim through my veins
He who sails is he who discovers
Let's hear anchors aweigh
There's space to claim under these covers
You steer clear of here, anyway
No I take that back
Like a dancer in the dark
My beauty it's black
Just match your lips up to mine
Come on and steal a kiss or rob me blind
Dreaming of a victory wrapped up in your coat of arms
I bid more if you're taking score, and i'm all set to pay
But I'll lose cause you'll choose him, anyway
No I take that back
Like a dancer in the dark
My beauty it's black
Just match your lips up to mine
Come on and steal a kiss or rob me blind
The hardest thing I ever earned is a chance in the ring
"simple boys make better boyfriends"; that just isn't true
And time will tick 'til you can see there's no simple in loving you
oh oh oh
No I take that back
Like a dancer in the dark
My beauty it's black
Just match your lips up to mine
Come on and steal a kiss or rob me blind

To me, it's about a guy who likes someone that he thinks doesn't completely like him. Possibly the person is attractive and has a great personality, which means lots of other guys want the person. Possibly the person is dating someone else, but the singer thinks there is a spark between them anyway... due to the "you'll choose him anyway" line.
Most of the song, he's imagining them together, and he's hoping that the person just takes a chance on him.
There's also an underlying tone of the singer thinking he's not good enough... "my beauty is black."
The first time I heard this song it reminded me of several things that had been in my mind. This song to me is for the guy that is struggling to get over his ex boyfriend. They have an akaward relationship now because they're friends but still the ex factor exist. Affection and love still exists between them and sometimes the line is blurred. The hope of reuniting is in his heart but the truth is he knows the one he wants doesn't want it even though he to finds comfort in knowing someone loves him. Its a sort of have your cake and eat it to situation. They see the struggles the other goes through, but that line makes the situation all that more difficult. Maybe it's because Im in this situation right now and Jay always seems to know how to put it all in lyric.
