Okay, here is my interpretation and a whole analysis of the song, sentence par sentence
I said,
sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down,
-> When Lollipop means innocence, then this means that, when you suck too hard on it, your lollipop will get smaller and smaller. Then suddenly it will be too late and your lollipop/innocence will be gone. And than you'll have to think about hard 'grown up stuff'.
-> When it's sexually, it means that when you are too obsessed about your love, love will get you down when the relationship ends.
I went walking in with my mama one day,
when she warn me what people say,
live your life until love is found,
'cause love's gonna get you down.
-> Here his mother gives him some good advice. She sais to him that he shouldn't be too focused on love. That he just should live his life and be happy with what you have. Don't search for love, cuz you know what they say: when you search for it, you won't find it, and when you stopped searching for it, than you suddenly find it! When you keep on looking for love, it will get you down, cuz it wil always be dissapointing and forced.
Take a look at the girl next door,
she's a player and a down right whore,
Jesus loves her, she wants more,
oh bad girls get you down.
-> Watch out for the girl with ho you start dating. Think twice if this person is the right choice for you. But can anyone explain me the 'Jesus part? Cuz I don't understand that part. What the hell has Jesus to do with all this? How can jesus love her if she's a bore/whore?
Mama told me what I should know,
too much candy gonna rot your soul,
-> Too much innocence isn't good too, because than you never grow up.
-> Agian: when you are too much focused on love, you will forget to live, love will rot your soul.
if she loves you, let her go,
'cause love only gets you down.
-> this I don't really understand. is it his mother that protects te girl by saying that he should let the girl go? Because love will get her down? Or is she protecting her son by saying that love will only tet him down, so he'd better not begin with relationships now?
Take a look at the boy like me,
never stood on my own two feet,
now I'm blue, as I can be,
oh love come get me down!
-> I'm really sure about what this line means: He's ready for his first relationship (or at least he thinks he's ready for one) and he wants to figure out if it's true what his momma said. He never stood on his own two feet, that means that they had never given him te chance to experiment and find those things out himself. Now that he's got the chance to experiment and to find out whether what they say is true, he's really willing to find out. By saying: Love, come and get me down, he challenges the quotes of his mother and thinks: come on love, I'm ready for it, let's see if what they said is true!
The Jesus part, I think it's a metaphor. Mika is talking about the girl's boyfriend. Like he's a really good guy and loves her and he's really loyal, but she wants more and cheats on him. That's how I see it. PS. I'm learning english so if it's a bit weird, now you know (:

@klikkie Jesus loves everyone with the true form of love (not romantic love). Not everyone loves Jesus, however.
