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”
Eh yo why am I gonna sit here and let ya'll bug me
'Cause I got a dime and a girl who love me
And when we alone she ain't all lovey dovey
Smacks me on the ass and says fast nigga fuck me
And uh I don't do nothing for my baby girl to not trust me
I don't do nothing for her to bust me
I would love her if her rings were rusty
Feet were crusty and arms were musty
'Cause ain't nobody gettin' that just me
And ain't nobody hittin' that just me
If I cheat I know that she will bust me, crush me
'Cause she know how many girls lust me
Back in the day they wouldn't even touch me
Now they say they don't want nobody but me
To tell the truth, them girls just disgust me
'Cause I already found the one that love me
[Chorus: x2]
It's all good lovin' somebody
As long as somebody loves you back
Mess with her? I ain't have to
But player I was glad to brown skin dove
But her love won't pass you promised her a ring
Along with a shine never stressin' my rhyme
All she wanted is time, where you find her at
'Cause you a grimy cat
Puffin' dime sacks to see where my mind be at
And I told my other niggas that I told her yo
I don't always have to hit the twat
Just to get you hot you don't believe me
Then pick a spot but remember, I lick a lot
Ayyo she likes to trick a lot just to get a bigger knot
Loves to see her nigga hot worries if I'm jigged or not
And her stuff hot and divine
And the things she cops top of the line
Baby is hot and divine always poppin' some wine
And then she told me Cam, I got a rock on my mind
[Chorus: x2]
It feels good when you love em'
And they lovin you back go tit for tat
Never scratch your back
Matter of fact she touches and grabs
Not to lust you bad just to get you mad
When we alone she screams and moans
She don't front on me 'cause she don't want to be alone
Come on everybody needs somebody
Ay Papi, take her out
Uh-huh no doubt
Then we lace her out
Uh-huh no doubt
Then we ski her out
Ski her out
Then we eat her out
Eat her out
Come on, where your man at?
Where's your plans at?
You ain't go away this year, where your tan at?
'Cause me and ma just came from the tropics
Wit her legs cocked and she beggin' me to stop it
[Chorus]
'Cause I got a dime and a girl who love me
And when we alone she ain't all lovey dovey
Smacks me on the ass and says fast nigga fuck me
And uh I don't do nothing for my baby girl to not trust me
I don't do nothing for her to bust me
I would love her if her rings were rusty
Feet were crusty and arms were musty
'Cause ain't nobody gettin' that just me
And ain't nobody hittin' that just me
If I cheat I know that she will bust me, crush me
'Cause she know how many girls lust me
Back in the day they wouldn't even touch me
Now they say they don't want nobody but me
To tell the truth, them girls just disgust me
'Cause I already found the one that love me
[Chorus: x2]
It's all good lovin' somebody
As long as somebody loves you back
Mess with her? I ain't have to
But player I was glad to brown skin dove
But her love won't pass you promised her a ring
Along with a shine never stressin' my rhyme
All she wanted is time, where you find her at
'Cause you a grimy cat
Puffin' dime sacks to see where my mind be at
And I told my other niggas that I told her yo
I don't always have to hit the twat
Just to get you hot you don't believe me
Then pick a spot but remember, I lick a lot
Ayyo she likes to trick a lot just to get a bigger knot

@[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 was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
