Blue System Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You must be jokin' when you're tellin' these lies
You must be foolin' only your alibies
Why you are so unfair to me?
You must be cheatin' if you play with my heart
Oh you are thinkin' that you're breakin' apart
Why are you so unfair to me?
Is it love? is it love?
I get never enuff
Love come easy
Be mine tonite
Is it love? is it love?
You are playin' so tough
Love me easy
Be mine tonite
Hey seagull... hey sister... play with me!
You must be dreamin' of that American
You must be thinkin' oh I have lost my mind
Why you are so unfair to me?
Oh you are tellin' it's a love at first sight
Why you are tryin' make my heart goin' wild
Why you are so unfair to me?
Is it a dream or is it real?

The chorus then kicks in with the person asking if what they are feeling is actually love, and wondering if they are getting enough of it. They want their love interest to come easy and be with them tonight. The song takes a turn when the person is looking to the sky and asking a seagull and a sister to play with them, perhaps referring to their imagination and fantasies. They then question their love interest about a person they are dreaming or thinking about, wondering if they have lost their mind. The person feels like they are being led on and played with, causing confusion about what is real and what is not.
