Get Your Way
Jamie Cullum(제이미 컬럼) Lyrics

Dinner at 8, that sounds fine,
Agreeing to have dinner together at eight

I spose it means you'll turn up round 9,
Anticipating that the other person will arrive late

Bought a bunch of flowers just for her,
Purchased flowers as a gift for the other person

She says the burden's on the receiver,
The other person acknowledges that receiving the gift is burdensome

I opened the door and you walked in,
Describing the other person's entrance into the room

The scent of wild jasmine,
Describing the fragrance in the room

The room seemed to freeze in time,
The moment was frozen in time

My regular table will be just fine,
Preferring to sit at the regular table

Radiant and elegant you might be,
Complimenting the other person's appearance

But your concentration is so go-lightly,
Critiquing the other person's lack of focus

Both of your eyes reflect the room,
Describing the other person's eyes and how they reflect the surroundings

You really think you own the room,
Suggesting the other person feels entitled in the room

So what game shall we play today?
Proposing to play a game

How about the one where you don't get your way?
Suggesting a game where the other person doesn't get their way

And even if you do, that's OK,
Nonchalantly acknowledging that the other person may still win the game

Try to pick it up, I'm reading the signs,
Reading cues and signals from the other person

It's turning out to be a real good time,
Enjoying the time spent together

Now who'd have thought that entertainment,
Reflecting on the unexpected nature of the night

Lies in the winter of our discontent,
Referencing Shakespeare, expressing how discontent can lead to unexpected surprises

We sit at the table, face to face,
Describing the seating arrangement

Queen takes pawn check on, check mate,
Using a chess analogy to describe their interactions

I feel your foot brush against my leg,
Sensing physical contact from the other person

I'm not that easily led,
Asserting independence and not easily swayed

You flutter your eyes and touch your hair,
Describing the other person's flirtatious behavior

I have to say that it is kinda unfair,
Finding the other person's actions unfair

Now let me tell you baby what's in store,
Teasing the other person with a suggestion of what's to come

You win the battle but I'll win the war,
Using war terminology to suggest victory

This has been fun, I suppose,
Acknowledging that the evening has been enjoyable

Although my feelings are all juxtaposed,
Recognizing mixed feelings toward the other person

Truth be told I'm as fickle as hell,
Admitting to being unpredictable

But a gentleman never kisses and tells,
Respecting the other person's privacy and not sharing intimate details

So what game shall we play today?
Repeating the proposal to play a game

How about the one where you don't get your way?
Repeating the suggestion for a game where the other person doesn't get their way

And even if you do, that's OK,
Repeating the nonchalant acknowledgement of the other person's possible win
