See Through You
Frankie Fame Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
she swings her hips and her bits to the rock 'n' roll groove,
What she makes what she breaks I see its all good,
But she can't hide from the side what is mood
Common lady gone crazy I don't know if she's listening tonight,
Common lady gone crazy gotta fist for a generous thigh,
(I think its time I told ya),
So baby stop and say somethin' else that makes you feel ok,
What ya say hey all you seem to think about you (hey)
You (hey)
You (hey)
You (hey)
You (hey)
You (hey)
You (hey)
You oooo
Turn the page damn it did I hear you say I got laid no way,
Turn the page wish I had it all again what the heck is faith
Common lady gone crazy I don't know if she's listening tonight,
Common lady gone crazy gotta fist for a generous thigh,
(I think its time I told ya)
I can't do nothing else but see through coz got you one too many times,
So baby stop and say somethin' else that makes you feel ok
What ya say hey all you seem to think about
You and all your pride and glory what it like to be so horny,
cut your hair and change your look get a job and a power suit,
analyze your whole damn life and obviously come here tonight
I can't do nothing else but see through coz got you one too many times,
So baby stop and say somethin' else that makes you feel ok,
What ya say hey all you seem to think about you
"See Through You" by Frankie Fame is a song about seeing through people's facade and getting to the real person underneath. The first verse sets the scene, describing a woman who may seem crude but is actually appealing to the singer. She moves to the beat of the music and seems confident in who she is and what she does. However, the singer can see through her and knows that her true emotions are not what she may be portraying to the world.
The chorus talks about a "common lady gone crazy," someone who may be acting out of character or trying to put up a front. The singer has seen through her act too many times and is calling her out on it. The bridge talks about wanting to re-live past experiences and how faith plays a role in our lives.
The second verse tells the listener to analyze their own life and make positive changes. The singer can see through everyone's facade and is calling them to be their true selves rather than pretending to be someone they're not.
Overall, "See Through You" is a song about seeing beyond appearances and getting to the real person underneath. It calls for honesty and authenticity, both with ourselves and with those around us.
