Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're looking so fine
No, it's true
Remember the time we first met?
You think that was good? You ain't seen nothin' yet
Like a bee to some honey
A moth to a flame
You never saw it comin' 'cause I made no claims 'til now
You can call it the unexpected or you can call it wow
You can call it call it wow
You can call it call it call it wow
You can call it the unexpected or you can call it call it call it
Sorry, I don't know
What came over me
The cycle of the moon affects the motion of the see what you did
It's starting all over again
We both want it now more than we did back then
Like a bee to some honey
A moth to a flame
You got an addiction and you got me to blame
You never saw it comin' 'cause I made no claims 'til now
You can call it the unexpected or you can call it wow
You can call it call it wow
You can call it call it call it wow
You can call it the unexpected or you can call it call it call it call it
Give me a minute
Let me get myself together
I'm never really out of control
Really, I'm so much better
Maybe it's your eyes, your stare, lookin' like lookin' like you wanna go somewhere
You wanna go somewhere?
Somethin' 'bout the wild in me, it's never tame
I think we're both alike, this is how we became
Like a bee to some honey
A moth to a flame
You got an addiction and you got me to blame.
You never saw it comin' 'cause I made no claims 'til now
You can call it the unexpected or you can call it wow
You can call it call it wow
You can call it call it call it wow
You can call it the unexpected or you can call it call it call it call it call it!
You can call it the unexpected or you can call it call it call it call it call it

This was probably one of my least liked songs in the game. Emphasis on WAS. I discovered Kate's music the past few days and I'm mesmerised and obsessed with her. Her music is so odd, absolutely ethereal and beautifully eclectic. Everyone should try to give a listen to her albums. I'm currently going through her fifth and it's incredibly interesting. Her first number 1 single came off her first album, it was written BY HER and topped the charts in the UK for 4 weeks!!!!! When she was only 19!!!!!!!! She also went on to produce her own albums starting with her third and plays a plethora of instruments. I recommend her appearences and music videos, because her dances are very, very expressive. She incorporated a lot of symbolism into her videos.
She's a once in a generation kind of artist. Also check out her stage performance on this song, where she was introduced by Benny and Bjorn, of all people! https://youtu.be/V8YgDaHpcXs

That's what I call "The Trojan Horse Operation": pushing young gamers to have contact with GOOD OLD MUSIC.

@NEY Industries This was the real reason why everyone in middle school raved about this game and reminds me of the mother on VCPR βNo wonder all they wanna do is play video games or hang out with their friends! In fact I donβt let my kids watch cartoons or slasher flicks.
@corey-bird3489
@NEY Industries I mention that in my video Video Games Do Furnish a Hobby. I did not know any of these βgoldβ songs except Michael Jackson back in middle school playing M rated games.
@riderzinc
Vice City has the best soundtrack of all time, Such an iconic game
