Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
I met you in the third grade
I didn't know that you liked lemonade
I met you another year later
You wore a red sweater with an alligator
We chased the ice cream truck across the street
And I thought you seemed kind of neat
We held hands as we walked to the swings in the park.
(chorus)
You're my girl
I'm your man
I don't care if we live in a garbage can
I'm your man
You're my gal
I'm so glad that we are pals.
You're not fat
You don't smell bad
You're always smiling
Never sad
I bet you take a shower every day
Hey hey hey hey hey.
But then when I saw you
Playing soccer with your friends
I knew that day
Our love would never end.
And this whole time
It blows my mind
Oh well whatever
We're so good together
When you marry me
You'll be my wife.
(chorus)
I'm in love, its great
See you again - can't wait
There's so much to do
You're such a pretty girl
We'll travel 'round the world
To see this love through.
And if you ever went away from me
I would cry
I would fall down on one knee
And I would pray
Yes I would pray
That you would come back
To me someday....
(chorus)
Oh well, whatever
You and me
and that red sweater
Oh well, whatever
You and me
And that red sweater
Are go!
I didn't know that you liked lemonade
I met you another year later
You wore a red sweater with an alligator
We chased the ice cream truck across the street
And I thought you seemed kind of neat
We held hands as we walked to the swings in the park.
(chorus)
You're my girl
I'm your man
I don't care if we live in a garbage can
I'm your man
You're my gal
I'm so glad that we are pals.
You're not fat
You don't smell bad
You're always smiling
Never sad
I bet you take a shower every day
Hey hey hey hey hey.
But then when I saw you
Playing soccer with your friends
I knew that day
Our love would never end.
And this whole time
It blows my mind
Oh well whatever
We're so good together
When you marry me
You'll be my wife.
(chorus)
I'm in love, its great
See you again - can't wait
There's so much to do
You're such a pretty girl
We'll travel 'round the world
To see this love through.
And if you ever went away from me
I would cry
I would fall down on one knee
And I would pray
Yes I would pray
That you would come back
To me someday....
(chorus)
Oh well, whatever
You and me
and that red sweater
Oh well, whatever
You and me
And that red sweater
Are go!

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

@[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.
