"I first saw you
You had on blue jeans
Your eyes couldn't hide anything"
The lyrics are describing a man's first encounter with a woman he is attracted to. He first sees her wearing blue jeans, and they are struck by her eyes, which seem to reveal her thoughts.
"I saw you leaving
And I saw you staring out in space
I next saw you, it was at a party"
He saw her leaving and looking off into the distance, possibly lost in her thoughts or daydreaming. He later encountered her at a party.
"Thought you was uncool, oh so flirty
I came again
You didn't say excuse
You knew what I was doing"
He thought she was "uncool" and "flirty," but he was still drawn to her and came to see her again. He noticed that she was aware of his presence but didn't say anything.
"You looked very fine, as we were leaving
Like Saint Joan, doing a cool, cool jerk
Oh I want you, Oh I want you"
As they were leaving the party, he thought she looked fine and was doing the "cool jerk" dance. The singer expresses his love for her. The woman appears to be compared to Joan Seberg in the lyrics, particularly in reference to her portrayal of St. Joan in the song. This woman might have resembled Joan Seberg.
"Like a kangaroo"
Possibly a reference to the creature's peculiar movement, which represents the singer's intense desire for the woman.
