The Auckland-recorded album is about to provide a second single, 'Strong', that has hooks aplenty and should follow in the successful footsteps of 'Lovin' You Baby'. Fay has her sights set on further albums, so expect much more from the smoky-voiced newcomer in the future.
Spooky
Annabel Fay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When everything is getting kind of groovy
You call me up and ask me
Would I like to go with you and see a movie
First I say no
I got some plans for the night
And then I stop
Love is kind of crazy
With a spooky little boy like you
You always keep me guessin'
I never seem to know what you are thinkin'
And if a girl looks at you
It's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin'
I get confused
I never know where I stand
And then you smile
And hold my hand
Love is kind of crazy
With a spooky little boy like you
If you decide someday
To stop this little game that you are playin'
I'm gonna tell you all the things
My heart's been a-dyin' to be sayin'
Just like a ghost
You've been a-hauntin' my dreams
And now I know
You're not what you seem
Love is kind of crazy
With a spooky little boy like you
La---
Na, na, na, na
Na, na
Mmm---
The song 'Spooky' by Annabel Fay depicts a confusing and daunting relationship between two people. The first verse sets the scene for the story, mentioning how the cool of the evening and the prospect of watching a movie lures the female protagonist in. However, the tone changes when the 'spooky little boy' enters the picture. The second verse describes how this guy is always keeping her guessing, hinting at the fact that he is not straightforward with his intentions. The lyrics suggest he enjoys playing games with her and is flirtatious towards other girls too.
The chorus conveys the emotions felt by the singer. She is both enamored by and confused about the guy, implying love can be a bit of a mystery at times. She is unsure how to read his signals and not quite sure if his intentions are genuine. The final verse expresses her desire for the guy to reveal who he truly is, to stop playing games and to share his true self with her. The spooky reference throughout the song creates a feeling of unease and the sense that the singer doesn't entirely trust the guy.

In the cool of the evening
During the calm and peaceful time of day
When everything is getting kind of groovy
When life is becoming easy and enjoyable
You call me up and ask me
You contact me and inquiry
Would I like to go with you and see a movie
If I am interested to watch a movie with you
First I say no
Initially I decline
I got some plans for the night
I have prior engagements for the night
And then I stop
Suddenly, I quit declining
And say alright
Finally, I agree to join
Love is kind of crazy
Love makes us do things we didn't anticipate
With a spooky little boy like you
With a mysterious and peculiar guy like you
You always keep me guessin'
You keep me guessing all the time
I never seem to know what you are thinkin'
I can never predict what's going on in your mind
And if a girl looks at you
If some girl gazes at you
It's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin'
Certainly, you will wink your eye at her
I get confused
I become perplexed
I never know where I stand
I am unaware of my position in your life
And then you smile
Then you suddenly smile
And hold my hand
You grip my hand
If you decide someday
If you ever reach a conclusion
To stop this little game that you are playin'
To put an end to this petty charade you're putting on
I'm gonna tell you all the things
I shall narrate all the things
My heart's been a-dyin' to be sayin'
My heart has been wanting to express all along
Just like a ghost
Just like a spirit
You've been a-hauntin' my dreams
You've been lurking into my dreams
And now I know
At present, I comprehend
You're not what you seem
You are not what you appear to be
Love is kind of crazy
Love can drive one mad
With a spooky little boy like you
With a mysterious and peculiar guy like you
