Wendy Time Lyrics
"You look like you could do with a friend" she said
"You look like you could use a hand
Someone to make you smile" she said
"Someone who can understand
Share your trouble
Comfort you
Hold you close
And I can do all of these...
I think you need me here with you"
"You look like you could do with a sister" she said
"You look like you need a girl to call your own... like...
Fabulous! Fabulous!
Call me Fabulous!"
And rubbing her hands so slow
"You stare at me all strange" she said
"Are you hungry for more?"
"I've had enough" I said
"Please leave me alone
Please go"
It doesn't touch me at all
It doesn't touch me at all
"You know that you could do with a friend" she said
"You know that you could use a word
Like feel or follow or fuck" she said
And laughing away as she turned
"You're everything but no-one
Like the last man on earth"
"And when I die" I said
I'll leave you it all"
Door closes...
Leaves me cold
It doesn't touch me at all
It doesn't touch me at all
"You really do need a sister" she said
"You really do need a girl to call your own... like...
Wonderful! Wonderful!
Call me Wonderful!"
And running her hands so slow
"You stare at me all strange" she said
"Are you hungry for more?"
"I've had enough" I said
"Please leave me alone
Please go...
Please go"
"You look like you could use a hand
Someone to make you smile" she said
"Someone who can understand
Share your trouble
Comfort you
Hold you close
And I can do all of these...
I think you need me here with you"
"You look like you need a girl to call your own... like...
Fabulous! Fabulous!
Call me Fabulous!"
And rubbing her hands so slow
"You stare at me all strange" she said
"Are you hungry for more?"
"I've had enough" I said
"Please leave me alone
Please go"
It doesn't touch me at all
"You know that you could use a word
Like feel or follow or fuck" she said
And laughing away as she turned
"You're everything but no-one
Like the last man on earth"
"And when I die" I said
I'll leave you it all"
Door closes...
Leaves me cold
It doesn't touch me at all
"You really do need a girl to call your own... like...
Wonderful! Wonderful!
Call me Wonderful!"
And running her hands so slow
"You stare at me all strange" she said
"Are you hungry for more?"
"I've had enough" I said
"Please leave me alone
Please go...
Please go"

awesome i love the cure
love this song . . .
I kind of disagree with most of the comments. You're forgeting about his perspective and response to her advances; "Please leave me alone. Please go. It doesn't touch me at all. It doesn't touch me at all." She maybe offering, but he isn't interested. She comes across as shallow and insincere to him. And I doubt the she in this song is Siouxie, or anyone particular individual. Also, Wendy's personality kind of seems like; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histrionic_personality_disorder .
Actually it wasn't most of the comments that I disagree with, just that there were a couple saying it was about Siouxie, so it seem like the majority at the time I was typing. I also would like to mention that I merely disagree, and ain't bashin' them or that theory, which could still be true, as it can't be disproven. I also wish I could edit these posts...

For me, this song is about the existential lonelyness within each of us. When we are hurt, we are in pain, or even dying ... no-one can really help. Some people want to , but they can't, how good / bad they are trying. Untill we are tired of good intentions and just want to be left alone. ( To be left alone, in a trance, with the basses of 'wendy time' on the background). Been there, that's why I adore the song. The demo-version revaels its true spirit, which completely got lost in the studio version.
I think this song could mean that there was a woman, who wanted more from Robert (sex). And he gets tempted, but fights that temptation and wants to stay loyal to Mary. hmm.. that's what I think though
I, controversially, think that this song is about Siouxsie.
I personally think this song is about Siouxsie. Sorry if this appears double-posted, I posted it once and it didn't appear.,
I tend to feel like the girl in the song.
if its about siouxsie, wouldn't it appear a bit earlier on? like just after he supposedly 'ditched' the banshees two weeks before an extensive tour? siouxsie still seems angry at him, i read this interview with her...
I remember reading somewhere that Wendy was a hooker.
"You're everything but no-one Like the last man on earth"
Robert Smith is a genius.
