Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wanna talk right now
Stop
I need a little space
Ohh, ohh
Wait
Didn't mean to say it like that
A little longer please
I sleep a little deeper when you're next to me
Don't you know
You're the fire in my bones
You're my heart and my home, oh
And I know
I don't say it enough
I've been down on my luck
My love
But I'll be fine in the morning
Next to you
Oh, think I'm losin' my mind again
Go slow
Touch me like you do
Love
Come a little closer now
I breathe a little deeper when I'm next to you
And don't you know
You're the fire in my bones
You're my heart and my home, oh
And I know
I don't say it enough
I've been down on my luck
My love
But I'll be fine in the morning
Next to you
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Next to you
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Next to you
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Next to you
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
But I'll be fine in the morning

0:12 You were the least educated person in that room, so Sheldon's point still stands. If Penny were there, then you'd have a valid complaint.
0:38 That's not funny.
Howard is a fool. He's not all that attractive on the outside. On the inside, he's a felon. He's proven to be the most inept guy around women in his friend group which includes a guy who can't talk to women, a guy who has no interest in women (this was before Amy), and a short guy with asthma. And he thinks he can get a Katie Sackhoff?
And he accuses Penny of settling? Leonard is by far the best boyfriend Penny ever had and could ever have. In terms of inner beauty, I would argue that Penny got the gold mine and Leonard was the one who settled.
2:23 Because that's incredibly shallow. Also, because a lot of people who are pretty on the outside aren't pretty on the inside. If you try get a pretty woman who turns out to be a jerk, you might miss out on a gem that isn't super-pretty but will treat you right.
Sheldon's comments are right on the money.

I really like how this part highlights how we lose great things because we are holding out for "better" waiting for a partner that checks out all our boxes. While there is nothing wrong with having preferences and standards we sometimes deny ourselves from having our minds "blown" because the container isn't necessarily what we had in mind.

Relationships are very complicated.

And then facing the grim truth of how few of their boxes you check for them.

@Beezlie727 Ouch!

Raj's expression after Howard said " yes you are delicious caramel too" , just stole all the other good moments in this clip .

Howard sounds like most of the girls 😂 wait for the "perfect guy" and eventually end ip settling for someone less impressive than many who were pushed away because they don't check all the "boxes"
Nin
Howard was kinda right, given how Bernadette turned out to be at the end! A bossy, pushy, mean woman
