Something About You
Childs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because I realise I know nothing, no
From number 1 to number 9
I happen on something sublime
Was it something I was missing?
Your face, your smile, the colour of your eyes entice
So many men to look in wonder
Your hair. your dress
Could drive a man to put his love asunder
‘Cause I should know you better by now
I should know you better much better by now
But there’s 100 things about you...
The kind of moods, your favorite songs
The ones that make sing along and dance erotic
The dreams you had of leaving town
Where you’re from and where you’re headed
Would you live to regret it? No
The way you laugh and look at me
And tell me everything you see
The kinds of things that I have pondered
Your gentle touch, your tender kiss
The taste so heavenly on your lips
Could drive a man to break down and cry
With hunger
...but I don’t know one thing about you
I don’t know one thing at all
Give me something to remember Marianna by
A fantasy that soon becomes every man’s one desire
Give me something to remember Marianna by
Just a kiss upon my cheek is sure to satisfy
All the way to Puerto Rico just to find my way home
...I don’t know one thing at all
I only ever knew your name.

So many men to look in wonder
Many men gaze at you in awe
Your hair, your dress
The way you style your hair and the outfit you wear
The scent of heaven upon your breast
The heavenly fragrance emanating from your chest
Could drive a man to put his love asunder
Has the power to cause a man to end his current relationship

The way you laugh and look at me
The manner in which you laugh and gaze into my eyes
And tell me everything you see
And reveal all that you perceive
The kinds of things that I have pondered
The aspects I have contemplated
Your gentle touch, your tender kiss
The softness of your touch and the gentleness of your kiss
The taste so heavenly on your lips
The divine flavor experienced when I kiss your lips
Could drive a man to break down and cry
Can evoke such emotions that a man may breakdown and weep
With hunger
Due to an intense yearning
...but I don’t know one thing about you
However, I am completely unaware of anything concerning you
I don’t know one thing at all
I possess no knowledge whatsoever
Give me something to remember Marianna by
Provide me with a memory associated with Marianna
A fantasy that soon becomes every man’s one desire
An imagined scenario that quickly transforms into the ultimate wish of every man
Just a kiss upon my cheek is sure to satisfy
Merely a peck on my cheek is guaranteed to fulfill my desires
All the way to Puerto Rico just to find my way home
Traveling extensively, even to Puerto Rico, in an effort to discover my true purpose
...I don’t know one thing at all
Ultimately, I possess no knowledge whatsoever
I only ever knew your name.
My only acquaintance with you was your name.
