Only Wanna Be With You
Hootie & The Blowfish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
You like to laugh at me when I look at other girls
Sometimes you're crazy and you wonder why
I'm such a baby 'cause the dolphins make me cry
Well there's nothing I can do
I've been looking for a girl like you
You look at me, you've got nothing left to say
I moan and pout at you until I get my way
I won't dance, you won't sing
I just wanna love you but you wanna wear my ring
Well there's nothing I can do
I only wanna be with you
You can call me your fool
I only wanna be with you
Put on a little Dylan sitting on a fence
I'll say that line is great, you ask me what it meant by
Said, I shot a man named Gray, took his wife to Italy
She inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me
I can't help it if I'm lucky
I only wanna be with you
Ain't Bobby so cool?
I only wanna be with you
Yeah, I'm tangled up and blue
I only wanna be with you
You can call me your fool
Only wanna be with you
Sometimes I wonder if it'll ever end
You get so mad at me when I go out with my friends
Sometimes you're crazy and you wonder why
I'm such a baby, yeah, the dolphins make me cry
Well there's nothing I can do
I only wanna be with you
You can call me your fool
I only wanna be with you
Yeah, I'm tangled up in blue
I only wanna be with you
I only wanna be with you
I only wanna be with you
I only wanna be with you

Every generation has always said this of the previous...nostalgia bias always makes us think it was "better" before, but mostly because we only remember the highlights from 20-30 years ago, not all the individual moments like we experience today. Like others have mentioned, we also didn't have as much access to everything as we do today, the world was just as bad, we were mostly just ignorant to it.
