Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love collect calls inside of your cigarettes
And I'll still wonder why you can't seem to get it yet
If we go half, then maybe we can spend another night
Another day, another chance to get it right
Inside these walls, we watch the tables turn
You say I should've had a mother, watch my navel yearn
And now things that I expect you know
And we just smoking too much weed, I'm still expecting to blow
Let's take a walk, don't forget your key, baby
Let's say a prayer, come on, get down on your knees, baby
Come on, get down on your knees, baby
Please, ah-ha, please, ah-ha
Please, ah-ha, please, ah-ha
Don't get up, don't get up
Don't get up, don't get up, ah-ha
Please, ah-ha, please, ah-ha
Please, ah-ha, please, ah-ha
Theres no doubt, you know I want this just as much as you
What if you lyin'? Then I'm just stuck here like a fuckin' fool
I'll still be stuck even if this is the fuckin' truth
You say I'm runnin' from my problems, there's no other way
If you decide to keep it, I don't know if I'mma stay
My shoulder's dislocating, breaking under all this weight
And I'm just thinkin' 'bout your lateness, it's a bad time
I want to be situated 'fore I have mine
Let's talk a walk, don't forget your key, baby
Let's say a prayer, come on, get down on your knees, baby
Said, come on, get down on your knees, baby
Said, come on, get down on your knees
Come on, get down on your knees, baby (don't get up, don't get up)
Come on, get down on your knees, baby (don't get up, don't get up, ah-ha)
Come on, get down on your knees, baby (please, ah-ha, please, ah-ha)
Come on, get down on your knees, baby (please, ah-ha, please, ah-ha)
Come on, get down on your knees, baby (don't get up, don't get up)
Come on, get down on your knees, baby (don't get up, don't get up, ah-ha)
Come on, get down on your knees, baby (please, ah-ha, please, ah-ha)
Come on, get down on your knees, baby (please, ah-ha, please, ah-ha)
Come on, get down on your knees, baby (don't get up, don't get up)
Come on, get down on your knees, baby (don't get up, don't get up, ah-ha)
The lyrics of "Woozy" by Glass Animals and Jean Deaux touch on themes of love, vulnerability, and uncertainty in a relationship. The opening lines, "And can we place a bet? Love collect calls inside of your cigarettes," suggest a longing for a deeper connection and the willingness to take risks for love. The mention of collect calls in cigarettes alludes to the transient nature of their relationship and the desire for a more permanent bond.
The lyrics further explore the singer's confusion and frustration with their partner's inability to understand them, as they wonder why their partner can't "get it yet." The line "If we go half, then maybe we can spend another night" suggests that compromise is needed for the relationship to continue and for them to have a chance to make things right.
The verse expands on the singer's reflection on their own upbringing and the effects it has had on them. The line "You say I should've had a mother, watch my navel yearn" alludes to a sense of parental absence or neglect and how it has shaped their perspective on relationships. The subsequent lines express the singer's expectation that their partner should understand their needs and support their growth, just as a seed needs nurturing to grow.
The chorus, with its repetitive plea of "Please, ah-ha, please, ah-ha," reflects the singer's yearning for understanding, validation, and acceptance from their partner. There is a sense of desperation and vulnerability in their plea, as they hope their partner will stay by their side and not leave them feeling foolish or stuck.
The final verse delves deeper into the singer's internal struggles and fears. They express uncertainty about their partner's honesty, stating, "What if you lyin'? Then I'm just stuck here like a fuckin' fool." There is a realization that even if their partner is telling the truth, they may still be trapped in an unhappy situation. The mention of their shoulder dislocating and breaking under the weight symbolizes the emotional strain they are experiencing.
The song concludes with the plea to take a walk and say a prayer, indicating a desire for a fresh start or resolution. The repetition of "Come on, get down on your knees" reinforces the vulnerability and desperation in seeking connection and understanding. Overall, "Woozy" explores the complexities of love, communication, and the struggles of maintaining a relationship in the face of uncertainty and personal challenges.

And can we place a bet?
Can we make a wager or agreement?
Love collect calls inside of your cigarettes
Expressing affection through late-night phone calls
And I'll still wonder why you can't seem to get it yet
Continuously questioning why you don't understand
If we go half, then maybe we can spend another night
If we share the responsibility, we can have more time together
Another day, another chance to get it right
Each day offers an opportunity for improvement
Inside these walls, we watch the tables turn
In this relationship, we witness the power dynamics shift
You say I should've had a mother, watch my navel yearn
You suggest that having a nurturing figure would have influenced me
And now things that I expect you know
I assume you are aware of certain things
How you gon' plant a whole seed and not expect it to grow?
How can you sow a seed and not anticipate its growth?

Verse 1: Jean Deaux]
Now can we place a bet
You love collect calls inside of your cigarettes
I still wonder why you can't seem
To get it yet
If we go half then maybe we can spend another night
Another day another chance for us to get right
Inside these walls we watch the tables turn
You say I should've had a mother
And watch my navel yearn
There are things that I expect you know
How you gone plant a whole seed and not expect it to grow?
We just smoking too much weed
I'm still expecting to blow
Let's take a walk
Don't forget your key baby
Let's say a prayer
Come on get down on your knees baby
[Second Hook]
Come on get down on your knees baby
(Please A-ha x3
Don't get up x3
Please A-ha x3
Please A-ha x3
Don't get up x3)

There’s no doubt - you know I want this just as much as you.
What if you lying? Then I’m stuck here like a fuckin fool
I’d still be stuck even if this is the fuckin’ truth.
You say I’m running from my problems there’s no other way
If you decide to keep it I don’t know if imma stay
My shoulders’ dislocating, breaking under all this weight
And I’m just thinking of your lateness, it’s a bad time
I wanna be situated ‘fore I have mine…
Let’s take a walk,
don’t forget your key baby.
Let’s say a prayer,
come on, get down on your knees baby…
