Made You
Adam Faith/John Barry Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw you sitting there so cool
Like you just come home from school
Looking such a pretty sight
Like a stick of dynamite
Sitting on a coffee bar stool

You're a gasser that's a fact and I never can relax until I've made you

I feel such a crazy clown
You're the biggest thing in town
Come on honey isn't fair
Never getting anywhere
How do I melt you down

You're a gasser that's a fact and I never can relax until I've made you

I'm not giving up the chase
I don't want to lose this case
Every time I make a play
Baby you just run away
I never make first basev

You're a gasser that's a fact and I never can relax until I've made you

Overall Meaning

In Adam Faith's song Made You, the singer is describing his attraction to a girl he sees at a coffee bar. The girl he is describing appears to be both beautiful and dangerous - like a stick of dynamite waiting to explode. He feels like a crazy clown in her presence and is constantly trying to win her over, but she keeps running away from him. Despite this, he is determined to win her over and won't give up the chase until he has "made" her. Throughout the song, he refers to her as a "gasser," which is slang for someone or something that is exciting or impressive.

The lyrics in Made You suggest that the singer is struggling to win over a girl who seems unattainable. He describes her beauty and energy in vivid detail, and admits that he feels like a clown when he's around her. The line "How do I melt you down" suggests that he sees the girl as an unbreakable object that needs to be melted or softened in some way in order for him to successfully win her over. Despite his struggles, he refuses to give up the chase and is determined to "make" her his.

One interpretation of the lyrics of Made You is that they represent the struggle that many people face in trying to win over someone who seems out of their league. The singer is clearly infatuated with this girl, but he's not sure if she feels the same way about him. He's constantly trying to impress her and win her over, but so far his efforts have been unsuccessful. Nevertheless, he's determined to keep trying until he succeeds.
