First of all...I love this song because it gets right to it and the beat just pumps you up. I feel so sexy and in power when I pull up somewhere and have the song blast and you here Dave "BABY, WHEN I THINK ABOUT YOU...." AHH its incredible...

Anyways, my interpretation of the song is this...How Dave is obsessed with his girl. How she has a spell over him and when he thinks about her al he wants to do is take her for a ride. He wants her to be with him all the time. He is talking about how his mom told him that hey this girl is going to have you wrapped around her finger and he didn't know until now. Its so sexy to me that Dave sings the emotion that we think and feel but maybe are too ashamed or shy to admit. He is so in love and shows that very clearly. This song is a great reason of why I am in love with Dave's writing and expression.

I love "Red is the color of the sun with my eyes closed." It so simplistic yet true. Close your eyes and look up to the sun and you know what he is talking about. He is such a dreamer. LOVE IT

My Interpretation

I agree Alex! About your last paragraph. It's probably my favorite line in the whole album.

This song is SO sexy...I think it's the best one on the album. I just love how he sings it.
