| Okay, I was reading some interpretations of this song, and this was the general consensus. It's about a man who loves a woman who is sleeping around. He really wants her to be faithful ("could believe for all the world/that you're my precious little girl"), but she won't stop. The first verse is how he keeps explaining the chorus to her, but she doesn't listen. Of course, I started listening to TMBG when I was pretty young, so I thought it was about a father and daughter who weren't seeing eye to eye. When he says, "I don't get around how you get around," I didn't read anything sexual. I thought he was literally saying that he can't move around as easily as she can and as he used to be able to. I don't know which interpretation is right. Any more thoughts? | |
