White Dress
Call the Cops Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sorry I don't care what you said
But you can fill that space in my bed
You're beautiful, spinning 'round my head
Without a heart, there's no breaking

White dress at my party
She wanted to be alone with nobody
But I stood near her until she saw me
And when she looked up
This is what she said to me:

White dress at your party
I wanted to be alone with nobody
But you stood near me
And you don't know me
You act like an only child
Are you lonely?

I know what you need, I know what you need baby
I know what you need, I know what you need baby

I'm sorry I don't care what you said
But you can fill that space in my bed
You're beautiful, spinning 'round my head
Without a heart, there's no breaking

I know what she's thinking
S.O.S, yes this ship is sinking
So you should hold me
No need to know me
If only tonight
You'll be my one and only

I know what you need, I know what you need baby
I know what you need, I know what you need baby

I'm sorry I don't care what you said
But you can fill that space in my bed
You're beautiful, spinning 'round my head
Without a heart, there's no breaking

I'm sorry I don't care what you said
But you can fill that space in my bed
You're beautiful, spinning 'round my head
Without a heart, there's no breaking

It started out between the sheets
(I never said that word; I'll never say that word!)
But now I need you here with me
(It's safe to say that word; baby say that word!)

It started out between the sheets
(I never said that word; I'll never say that word!)
But now I need you here with me
(It's safe to say that word; baby say that word!)

I'm sorry I don't care what you said
But you can fill that space in my bed
You're beautiful, spinning 'round my head
Without a heart, there's no breaking

I'm sorry I don't care what you said
But you can fill that space in my bed




You're beautiful, spinning 'round my head
Without a heart, there's no breaking

I'm sorry I don't care what you said
I apologize for not valuing your words


But you can fill that space in my bed
You have the ability to fulfill my physical desires


You're beautiful, spinning 'round my head
Your physical appearance is captivating me


Without a heart, there's no breaking
Without emotional attachment, there won't be heartbreak


White dress at my party
A woman wearing a white dress at my event


She wanted to be alone with nobody
She desired solitude without anyone's company


But I stood near her until she saw me
I positioned myself nearby until she acknowledged me


And when she looked up
When she lifted her gaze


This is what she said to me:
These are her words directed towards me


White dress at your party
A woman wearing a white dress at your event


I wanted to be alone with nobody
I desired solitude without any companionship


But you stood near me
You were in close proximity to me


And you don't know me
You have no familiarity with me


You act like an only child
You behave like an individual who is an only child

So you should hold me
Therefore, you ought to embrace me


No need to know me
It is unnecessary to know me intimately


If only tonight
If only for this one evening


You'll be my one and only
You will be my sole companion


It started out between the sheets
The initial phase was purely physical


(I never said that word; I'll never say that word!)
(I refuse to say that word!)


But now I need you here with me
But now I need your presence beside me


(It's safe to say that word; baby say that word!)
(It's acceptable to use that word; please say that word!)
