Be With Me
Goin' Places Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She was the cutest girl in the world
Brown hair and beautiful eyes
I think I like her more than fries
I really wanted to flirt with her
But I couldn't think of what to say
That's because I work with her
I have to see her everyday
I really like you, can't you see?
Come on baby, won't you be my girl?
Make me the happiest guy in the world
Very slowly we started to talk
Strictly business, nothing major was said
Then I had a dream about her
And now I can't get her out of my head
Oh baby won't you be with me?
I really like you, can't you see?
Come on baby, won't you be my girl?
Make me the happiest guy in the world
One night I drank too much
Told her I wanted to be more than a friend
But I made a fool of myself
Looks like I'm gonna be alone again
Oh baby won't you be with me?
I really like you, can't you see?
Come on baby, won't you be my girl?
Make me the happiest guy in the world
Oh baby won't you be with me?
I really like you, can't you see?
Come on baby, won't you be my girl?
Make me the happiest guy in the world
The lyrics of "Be With Me" by Goin' Places tell the story of a person who is infatuated with a girl they work with. The singer describes the girl as being incredibly attractive with brown hair and beautiful eyes, admitting that they like her more than anything else, even fries. However, because they work together, the singer finds it difficult to approach her romantically, unsure of what to say.
The song then goes on to illustrate that although they start talking slowly, it remains strictly business with nothing major being said. Despite this, the singer has a dream about the girl that consumes their thoughts and makes it impossible to get her out of their head. The singer expresses their desire for the girl to be with them, making it clear that they really like her and want her to be their partner, as it would make them incredibly happy.
In a moment of vulnerability, the singer confesses that one night they drank too much and expressed their desire to be more than just friends with the girl. However, they feel embarrassed by their actions and believe that they have made a fool of themselves, leading to the fear of being alone once again.
Overall, "Be With Me" portrays the emotional struggle of wanting to be with someone but not being able to express those feelings due to various circumstances, ultimately leading to a sense of longing and uncertainty.

The other day I met this girl
Recently, I had the fortune of encountering a young woman
She was the cutest girl in the world
Her unparalleled charm and beauty made her truly exceptional
Brown hair and beautiful eyes
Her lovely locks were a shade of brown, and her eyes were breathtaking
I think I like her more than fries
To my surprise, my fondness for her exceeded even my affection for the delectable snack of french fries
I really wanted to flirt with her
I had a strong desire to engage in playful and alluring conversation with her
But I couldn't think of what to say
Regrettably, my mind failed to conjure suitable words in that moment
That's because I work with her
This predicament arose due to the fact that we are colleagues
I have to see her everyday
Due to our professional obligations, our paths intertwine on a daily basis
Very slowly we started to talk
Gradually, our conversations began to unfold
Strictly business, nothing major was said
Our discussions were restricted to matters related to work, devoid of any substantial content
Then I had a dream about her
Subsequently, she occupied my thoughts even in my sleep, as I experienced a dream featuring her
And now I can't get her out of my head
Presently, she constantly occupies my mind, making it seemingly impossible to forget her presence
One night I drank too much
During one evening, I imbibed an excessive amount of alcoholic beverages
Told her I wanted to be more than a friend
Under the influence, I confessed my desire to transcend the boundaries of friendship
But I made a fool of myself
Regrettably, my actions and words only served to make me appear foolish
Looks like I'm gonna be alone again
Consequently, it appears that I will once again find myself in a state of solitude
Oh baby won't you be with me?
My dear, could you not consider being in my presence and by my side?
I really like you, can't you see?
My sentiments for you are deep and genuine, is it not apparent to you?
Come on baby, won't you be my girl?
Come now, my beloved, would you not become my romantic partner?
Make me the happiest guy in the world
Grant me the immense joy and contentment of being the most fortunate individual on Earth

@GoinPlacesMusic
Thanks for listening
@dinoramone6761
An old Mutant Pop band.
@GoinPlacesMusic
You're going way back! Glad you remember us.
@dinoramone6761
How could anyone forget those great bands?
@GoinPlacesMusic
One of my favs was the Beldons. Do you remember their "Fatal Road" EP?
@dinoramone6761
Yeah, I play the title track often.
One of those bands who the the CD for Mutant Pop but did little or nothing else, which is a shame. Love The Grrrlscouts "Sheena Ramone" and Somethingtons "I Wanna Be OK" - two other bands who just did the one record.
@GoinPlacesMusic
Yea...I've never heard anything else by the Beldons...I don't think they released anything else. I never heard the Grrrlscouts, but the Somethings SRCD was a fun release.
