Listen, pretty mama
I want to be with you tonight, oh yeah
I know you left me
For someone younger than I, oh yeah
Listen up for goodness sakes
Me, I've never have much breaks
Opened up my heart and then they all just let me down
Whoa, down
Listen, sweet baby, yeah
I know it's too late to 'xplain, oh yeah
Why I can't please you
I got you when I was sane, yeah
Listen up for goodness sakes
Me, I've never have much breaks
Opened up my heart and then they all just let me down
Whoa, down
And the love you gave to me
Will increase my will to be, be... down, yeah
Listen up for goodness sakes
Me, I've never have much breaks
Opened up my heart and then they all just let me down
Whoa, down
And the love you bring to me
Will increase my will to be, be... down, yeah yeah
Down, yeah
Down, yeah
I want to be with you tonight, oh yeah
I know you left me
For someone younger than I, oh yeah
Me, I've never have much breaks
Opened up my heart and then they all just let me down
Whoa, down
I know it's too late to 'xplain, oh yeah
Why I can't please you
I got you when I was sane, yeah
Me, I've never have much breaks
Opened up my heart and then they all just let me down
Whoa, down
Will increase my will to be, be... down, yeah
Me, I've never have much breaks
Opened up my heart and then they all just let me down
Whoa, down
Will increase my will to be, be... down, yeah yeah
Down, yeah
Down, yeah
The song of my life . . . sigh
the slow version of this song is one of the most beautiful songs weezer has ever done. the lyrics are obviously about 'pinkerton' but aren't direct so he leaves the song wide open to interpret in different ways. this is a song with definitely some meaning for me.
