On And On
Bowling for Soup Lyrics

The lyrics to Bowling for Soup's "On And On" seem quite ironic at first glance. At the beginning of the song, the singer expresses happiness to be stuck in the same situation again with the person they are addressing. They reminisce about the good old days, laugh at each other's jokes, and seem to enjoy being together. However, the singer also mentions that they are happy to be someone that the addressee hated before, indicating that there may be some underlying tension or past issues that they are trying to move past. The second verse adds more complexity to the situation, as the singer apologizes for the addressee leaving once again, despite seeming happy earlier. The singer seems frustrated by this, but at the same time expresses a desire to shower the addressee with love and attention, even suggesting that they "make out with another girl" if it means they can be happy.

The rest of the song repeats the same chorus, with the singer expressing a desire to buy the addressee flowers every day and make every day a holiday. They want to talk about the addressee and the things they do "on and on and on". It's clear that the singer is deeply infatuated with the addressee, but it's also unclear whether their feelings are reciprocated. The Spanish lyrics at the end of the song add yet another layer of complexity to the emotional landscape of the song, as the addressee may or may not speak Spanish, the language of the lyrics.

Overall, "On And On" is a song about the complexities of romantic relationships and the often-mixed signals that people send in those situations. The singer wants to express their affection for the addressee, but they also seem to have some resentments and frustrations that they are working through. The chorus, with its repetition and insistence, suggests that the singer is not ready to give up on the relationship just yet, despite the ups and downs.
