Whistle for the boys now don't be shy
Give us all a song and a reason why
Baby got the bones and a hand me down
Says her heart is black but her eyes are brown
Give the boys a flash and they'll love you so
Give the girl some cash 'cause your mother said so
And take 'em out to look at the queen
And any old girl who's in between

Lay yourself down by the side of the bed
Oh, you naughty girl, you know you tickle me red
You look so dumb and you sound so twee
You can only wish that you were married to me

Well, that's what you get
Oh don't get upset
Ridiculous you
Waiting in the queue, oh, whoopee doo
You could have been
The best that I've seen
Under the red light
Everybody knows you cried last night

Now give us all a go 'til your face turns red
Little Greg said you went home instead
If you stick around you'll get an alibi
And we'll try and keep your pretty face bone dry
Rent a honey, rent a honey, one two three
Chasing all the boys from your door can't be easy
Well, Ruby said you was wrecked
But you were never well behaved the last time I checked

Lay yourself down by the side of the bed
Oh, you naughty girl, you know you tickle me red
You look so dumb and you sound so twee
You can only wish that you were married to me

Well, that's what you get
Oh, don't get upset
Ridiculous you
Waiting in the queue, oh whoopee doo
You could have been
The best that I've seen
Under the red light
Everybody knows you cried last night

Lay yourself down by the side of the bed
Oh, you naughty girl, you know you tickle me red
You look so dumb and you sound so twee
You can only wish that you were married to me

Well, that's what you get
Oh, don't get upset
Ridiculous you
Waiting in the queue, oh whoopee doo
You could have been
The best that I've seen
Under the red light
Everybody knows you cried last night
Everybody knows you cried last night

    i agree with part of what blugirl said...i think it's about a girl who sleeps with lost of guys hoping to find something more in terms of relationships but she always gets nothing...and he just wants sex from her...that's what i conclude...

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
