RED LIGHT GIRL
KUWATA BAND Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waitin' for you, my woman
On the corner of Chinatown lane
What is it that you're doin'?
Are you trying to keep me at bay?
'Cause it's been a long time
Here I am alone
And I wish you would stop all the tricks that you turn
Waitin' too long for you now
'Cause I feel like I'm standing in line
I've been there before, remember?
When I met you the very first time
Making love, red light on
Somehow you more than turned me on
Crazy me, all wrong
And the price that I paid was much more than I gave
Red light girl, took my money
Then she broke my heart in two
And I don't know why I wait for that lady
Someday for me, she'll change her ways
Waitin' for you 'til morning
Am I crazy or out of my mind?
I should have heard the warning
When somebody told me I'd find
Wastin' all of my time
Would bring me nothing, make me sad
So that's all, I'm mad
The price that I paid was much more than I had
Red light girl, took my money
Then she broke my heart in two
And I don't know why I wait for that lady
Someday for me, she'll change her ways
Red light girl, took my money
Then she broke my heart in two
And I don't know why I wait for that lady
Maybe it's time to say bye bye bye
Red light girl, took my money
Then she broke my heart in two
And I don't know why I wait for that lady
Someday for me, she'll change her ways
Red light girl, red light girl
Red light girl, red light girl

Waitin' for you, my woman
I am waiting for you, my significant other
On the corner of Chinatown lane
I am waiting for you on the street corner in Chinatown
What is it that you're doin'?
What are you doing while I am waiting for you?
Are you trying to keep me at bay?
Are you trying to push me away and keep me at a distance?
'Cause it's been a long time
It has been a long time since we have been together
When are you gonna be just mine?
When will you be committed to being just mine?
Here I am alone
I am feeling lonely and by myself
And I wish you would stop all the tricks that you turn
I wish you would stop playing games and manipulating me
Waitin' too long for you now
I have been waiting for you for too long now
'Cause I feel like I'm standing in line
I feel like I am waiting in a long line for your attention
I've been there before, remember?
I have been in this situation with you before, do you remember?
When I met you the very first time
This is how I felt when I first met you
Making love, red light on
We had sex with a red light on
Somehow you more than turned me on
You turned me on more than I expected
Crazy me, all wrong
I was foolish and wrong for falling for you
And the price that I paid was much more than I gave
I lost more than I gained from being with you
Red light girl, took my money
You took my money, red light girl
Then she broke my heart in two
You broke my heart into two pieces

Maybe someday, you will change your ways for me
Waitin' for you 'til morning
I am waiting for you until morning
Am I crazy or out of my mind?
I wonder if I am insane for waiting for you
I should have heard the warning
I should have listened to the warnings about you
When somebody told me I'd find
When someone warned me about what I would encounter
Wastin' all of my time
I am wasting my time waiting for you
Would bring me nothing, make me sad
It will not bring me any benefit and only cause me sadness
So that's all, I'm mad
That is all there is to it, and I am angry about it
The price that I paid was much more than I had
I lost more than I had to give by being with you
Maybe it's time to say bye bye bye
It may be time for me to say goodbye to you
Red light girl, red light girl
You are the red light girl
Red light girl, red light girl
You are the red light girl
