Single
Frith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe I'm too young to know what love is
Maybe I'm too young at heart
All I sing is how I've found what love is
All I see is something they won't

Maybe I don't know how it feels
Maybe she's the one who'll make me drink all my tears
All my friends tell me I should play for that sex appeal

But every time I go out to party at night
And I start to think that I maybe just might
She shows me her dress but it really seems much too tight
It don't look right

I don't wanna be single no more
I just need a girl who gets down on the floor
Someone who can dance all night but still lock the door

Maybe I'm just acting a fool
All my friends say that I'm breaking boy rules




But she takes me by the hand and she whispers baby do what you do
I think it's cool
