They
Ginger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Our romance won't end on a sorrowful note
Though by tomorrow you're gone
The song is ended, but as the songwriter wrote
The melody lingers on
They may take you from me, I'll miss your fond caress
But though they take you from me, I'll still possess

The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, no, they can't take that away from me

The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no, they can't take that away from me

We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
But, I'll always, always keep the memory of

The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life




No, no, they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me

Line by Line Meaning

The odds were a hundred to one against me
My chances of success were slim


The world thought the heights were too high to climb
People thought my goals were unattainable


But people from Missouri never incensed me
I was not deterred by naysayers


Oh, I wasn't a bit concerned
I was confident in my abilities


For from hist'ry I had learned
My knowledge of historical successes gave me hope


How many, many times the worm had turned
Overcoming seemingly impossible obstacles was not unprecedented


They all laughed at Christopher Columbus when he said the world was round
History shows that even great ideas were ridiculed at first


They all laughed when Edison recorded sound
Innovators were often met with skepticism


They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother when they said that man could fly
Visionaries were criticized for their out-of-the-box ideas


They told Marconi wireless was a phony, it's the same old cry
Even with evidence, critics will still doubt new inventions


They laughed at me wanting you, said I was reaching for the moon
Skeptics thought my aspirations were too high


But oh, you came through, now they'll have to change their tune
My success proved the doubters wrong


They all said we never could be happy, they laughed at us and how!
Critics doubted our relationship would work


But ho, ho, ho! Who's got the last laugh now?
Our success has silenced our detractors


They all laughed at Rockefeller Center, now they're fighting to get in
Past ridicule has turned into appreciation


They all laughed at Whitney and his cotton gin
Pioneers in their fields were laughed at in their time


They all laughed Fulton and his steamboat, Hershey and his chocolate bar
Inventors and entrepreneurs have all faced ridicule


Ford and his Lizzie, kept the laughers busy, that's how people are
People are quick to dismiss what they do not understand


They all said we'd never get together, darling, let's take a bow
The success of our relationship has proven the naysayers wrong


For ho, ho, ho! Who's got the last laugh?
Our triumph has silenced our critics


Hee, hee, hee! Let's at the past laugh, Ha, ha, ha! Who's got the last laugh now?
Let us revel in our success and ignore past detractors
