oh lovely lady
you looked at me
you looked at me babe
babe I'm not one
to shine your way
sweety tee
sweety tee lady
oh drink with me babe
babe I'm not one
to take a no, no, no
while you take off your clothes
they're all over the floor
and how can I tell you
you take off your clothes
they're all over the floor
and how can I tell you
that I don't love you no more
oh honey bee
oh honey bee babe
it's been so hard, oh
it's been so hard lately
babe I'm not one
to over thinking
oh I love so bad
I love like no other
but years has past
and with you
I felt smothered
oh, now it's time to say goodbye, goodbye
while you take off your clothes
they're all over the floor
and how can I tell you
you take off your clothes
they're all over the floor
and how can I tell you
that I don't love you no more
while you take off your clothes
they're all over the floor
and how can I tell you
you take off your clothes
they're all over the floor
and how can I tell you
you take off your clothes
they're all over the floor
and how can I tell you
you've taken any clothe
you walk out of the door and
and how, how did I tell you
that I don't love you no more
Lyric by Japa Amazônico
The song "Lovely" by Emilie Gassin is a melancholic reflection on a failed relationship. The singer addresses his former partner and acknowledges her beauty and allure, but admits that he is unable to keep up with her expectations. He portrays himself as a passive recipient of her advances, often using diminutive terms such as "sweety tee" and "honey bee" to emphasize his subservience. He also hints at his lack of emotional commitment and willingness to end the relationship, despite his lingering desire for physical intimacy. The repeated line "while you take off your clothes, they're all over the floor" suggests a sense of detachment and detachment, as if the singer is observing the scene from a distance and is unable to connect with the other person.
Overall, the song captures a sense of regret and resignation, as the singer struggles to reconcile his feelings for his former partner with his desire for freedom and independence. The use of simple, repetitive phrases and gentle melody adds to the wistful tone of the song, creating a sense of longing and nostalgia.
