Never Left A Girl
Frank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For the sight of skirts above the knees turns his hardboiled brain to tears.
And the scent of honey in the tree whets an old sweet tooth.
The pretty girls go strolling by, I smile at them, and heave a sigh.
And think of all the things I've missed, and all the pretty girls I've never kissed.
They smile from field of daffodils, they wave from high and windy hills,
All the girls whose names I can't recall, their faces haunt me still,
All the pretty girls I've never kissed and never will.
The girls of spring, the girls of fall, the girls of summer most of all,
If only time did not exist, if only I could catch that boat I always missed,
I'd go back and kiss all the pretty girls I've never kissed.
The lyrics of Frank's song "Never Left A Girl" is a nostalgic and regretful reflection on the singer's past relationships. In the opening verse, the imagery of an old wolf sniffing the summer breeze reflects the singer's yearning for his youth, while the sight of skirts above the knees stirs up emotions that bring him to tears. The scent of honey in the tree, meanwhile, stirs up desire and cravings for sweetness. The themes of desire and regret continue throughout the song, as the singer reflects on all the pretty girls he's never kissed and the missed opportunities that haunt him to this day.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, as the singer reflects on the girls he's never kissed, yet who continue to occupy his thoughts and memories. They smile from fields of daffodils, wave from high and windy hills, and wait for him in secret places by the sea. Their faces and names may be forgotten, but their impact on the singer's life is not.
The final verse of the song further highlights the nostalgia and regret that underpins the whole song. The girls of spring, the girls of fall, and especially the girls of summer represent times that have passed, and opportunities that can never be regained. The singer muses on the possibility of going back in time and kissing all the pretty girls he's never kissed, but recognizes that time only moves forward and that these moments have been lost forever.
In summary, "Never Left A Girl" is a heartfelt and deeply emotional song that explores the themes of desire, regret, and nostalgia. Through its vivid imagery and evocative lyrics, the song captures the bittersweet memories of youth and the longing for a simpler time.
