I've Underestimated My Charm
Black Kids Lyrics

Like many a Mael,
Like many musicians, especially the members of Sparks, the singer gets agitated when things are not going well in his life.

I get angst in my pants.
He becomes anxious and uneasy, especially in situations involving romance.

And goddamn it to hell,
The situation is so frustrating that he attributes it to the devil.

It don't help if I dance.
Even if he tries to dance and distract himself, it does not make the situation better.

And you, you're not doing too well.
To the artist's surprise, the person he is addressing is also having a difficult time.

All the blogs are about you, girl.
She is getting a lot of online attention, which may or may not be good.

They caught you in the park after dark
She was seen doing something inappropriate or scandalous in public.

Giving head to a statue, girl.
She was performing a sexual act on a statue, which is shocking and inappropriate.

Oh, cruel!
He empathizes with how difficult this must be for her, even though he is also having his own problems.

Didn't mean to do you no harm,
He did not intend to cause her any harm or pain.

I just underestimated my charm.
He thought he could handle the situation without causing any problems, but his charm has unintentionally made things worse.

And if I ever bother to tell you the truth,
He is hesitant to be completely honest with her about how he feels and what he wants.

Oh, baby, you're too much sugar For my sweet tooth.
She is too much for him to handle, and he may not be ready for a serious relationship with her.

You're on your honeymoon
She is currently on a romantic trip with her new spouse.

And you're sending me notes.
Despite being newly married, she is still communicating with the singer.

You hope to see me soon.
She is interested in seeing the artist again soon, despite being on her honeymoon.

You've got 'see' wrapped In quotes.
Her use of quotation marks around the word 'see' suggests that she wants to see more than just the artist.

I used to find it funny to say,
In the past, he found pleasure in teasing her about her relationship status.

"What's your man got to do with me?"
He would joke with her about how her husband was not a factor in their relationship.

But then I saw him downtown Placing bets on the hounds. He was as big as a house!
He saw her husband and was surprised by how large he was, and how he was gambling on dog races in the city.

We can't be messin' around!
He realizes that their relationship could get them both in trouble, especially with her new husband.

Every time we kiss It's like an inside joke I always miss.
Their relationship feels like a game or a secret, but he often doesn't understand where it's going or what it means.

Our love is like a tug-of-war.
Their relationship is like a game of pull-and-push, with one or both of them unsure of what they want from each other.

Don't touch me, girl, I can't hug no more!
He is conflicted and can no longer handle the physical touch from her, which has become too confusing and difficult for him to handle.
