Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out
Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out now
She was a day tripper
One way ticket yeah
To find out - and I found out
She's a big teaser
She took me half the way there
She's a big teaser
She took me half the way there now
She was a day tripper
One way ticket yeah
It took me so long
To find out
And I found out
If I needed someone to love
Your the one that id be thinking of
If I needed someone
If I had some more time to spend
Then I guess I'd be with you my friend
If I needed someone
Got your number on my wall
And maybe you will get a call from me
If I need someone
Day tripper
Day tripper
Day tripper
I tried to please her
She only played one night stands
I tried to please her
But she only played one night stands now
She was a day tripper
Sunday driver yeah
It took me so long
To find out and I found out
She's so
Heavy heavy heavy
She's so
Heavy heavy heavy heavy
She's so
Heavy
Heavy heavy heavy
She's so
Heavy
Heavy
Heavy
