You know they call my girl the Snake Charmer
Here she comes rising with the yellow dawn
You know I would do nothing to ever harm her
I guess I've loved you for too long

You know they call my girl the Worm Tamer
She cracks lightning like a viper's tongue
She leaves me every night and who can blame her?
I guess that I've loved you for too long

For too long
For too long
For too long

You know, you know they call my girl the Serpent Wrangler
Eating inchworms down by the bill-a-bong
I spent all night trying to untangle her
But I guess I've loved you for too long

For too long
For too long
For too long

You know they call my baby the Mambo Rider
I cry storms of tears til the rising of the dawn
And you know I'm only happy when I'm inside her
I guess that I've just loved you for too long

For too long
For too long
For too long

For too long
For too long

Well my baby calls me the Loch Ness Monster
Two great big humps and then I'm gone
Actually I am the Abominable Snowman
And I guess that I've loved you for too long

    Song Meaning

    I think this song is about a (middle-aged) man who feels sexually inadequate. While his woman is a great lover (Snake charmer, worm tamer, serpent wrangler, mambo rider - all pretty sexual images when put in this context), the man cannot keep up with her - which becomes clear in the last verse: "Well my baby calls me the Loch Ness Monster/Two great big humps and then I'm gone"

    I agree with you on the general sense of the song, it doesn't necessarily mean sexually inadequate to me though.

    My Interpretation

    This song is like a musicians wet dream. A mischievous dedication of love for a female other, who has totally hypnotised the male counterpart who feels inferior to her.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
