A Night In Tunisia
J.A.M Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Takin' everything in sight
Thief in the night
Saying what is yours is mine
Give it to you
Every other night
Take my heart, soul
My tears, all the time
Other side of closed doors
Woah suicide girl
Guard your heart with thorns
Hardened love adorn
Now we nightwalkin'
Call the bartender
Brandy in my liver
Baby make shiver
Goin' where they can't go
Make you come quicker
Damn Cinderella dance
Oooh you so stellar
Topless in Bakers
Poppin' in Vegas
Top I'mma take ya
Thief in the night
One hell of a ride
A dreamer's delight
Takin' everything in stride
She gives her hand to me
But won't ever be mine
Penny for your thoughts
So I'm gon' need a dime
One thing is real
And that's what I like
I'm talkin' about
The thief in the night
She takin' my time
So I say goodbye
I'm tellin' the truth
But you want me to lie
It's so easy to me
And you don't know why
But it's just not the time
I got lot's on my mind
Switchin' my gaze
Changin' my sites
Break the horizon
Where the dark meets the light
Light ice, topped off with the lime
1942 Give me another side of you, baby
Give in to you baby, like every other night
Give it to you baby, like every other night
There's no end in sight
It goes into the night
She whispers to me
It's gon' be alright
She closes her tab
They turn on the lights
Can't go back now
Ain't gon' back down
Thief in the night
Takin' everything in sight
Thief in the night
Saying what is yours is mine
I give it to you
Every other night
Take my heart, soul
My tears, all the time
Thief in the night
One hell of a ride
A dreamer's delight
Takin' everything in stride
She gives her hand to me
Won't ever be mine
Penny for your thoughts
So I'm gon' need a dime
The lyrics to J.A.M's song "A Night In Tunisia" describe a night of passion and adventure with a mysterious thief-like figure. The singer of the song seems to be completely entranced by this person, describing them as a "dreamer's delight" and feeling completely helpless to resist their charms. The thief takes whatever they want and claims ownership over what the singer believes to be theirs, yet the singer continues to give in to their desires, giving them their heart, soul, and tears. The song ends with a sense of surrender and willingness to follow the thief wherever the night takes them.

So I'm gon' need a dime
Requesting payment of a dime for the person's thoughts
One thing is real
There is one truth at the center of everything
And that's what I like
That one truth is something that I appreciate
It's so easy to me
It comes naturally to me
And you don't know why
You are unsure why this is so easy for me
But it's just not the time
The circumstances are not right for something I want to do
I got lot's on my mind
I am preoccupied with many things
Switchin' my gaze
I am looking somewhere else now
Changin' my sites
Changing my focus or goals
Break the horizon
Reaching beyond the limits of what is currently possible
Where the dark meets the light
The point of transition between two opposing situations
Light ice, topped off with the lime
A drink with ice and lime added on top
1942 Give me another side of you, baby
Requesting another version of someone's personality or character
Give in to you baby, like every other night
Surrendering to someone's desires frequently
There's no end in sight
There is no sign of this stopping or ending
She whispers to me
She is speaking softly to me
It's gon' be alright
Things will turn out well eventually
She closes her tab
She pays for her drinks and leaves
They turn on the lights
The lights are turned on, signaling the end of the night
Can't go back now
It is impossible to undo what has been done
Ain't gon' back down
I will not give up or surrender
