Cover art for Hypnotize lyrics by White Stripes, The

"you're the kind of girl a guy like me could hypnotize"- Not that he thinks he's in charge, he feels his personality is a perfect match to charm the girl. He feels a connection, but definitly is shy, and couldn't reveal himself completely without a "way out", agreed.

"Just think of all those guys who would tell you lies"- He's honest, but knows his honesty can get him in trouble, so he restrains himself. He speaks of real commitment at the end, wholly justifying himself as a mature man with no hidden agenda. Just insecure and afraid.

The nervous speed and singing in this song match its meaning perfectly.

Really good interpretation, best here imo!
