Strike The Match
Monrose Lyrics

Pretty Baby with the blue Jeans on
Addressing a person wearing blue jeans who is attractive

You've been starin' at me all night long
Acknowledging that the person wearing blue jeans has been looking at the singer all night

I know you want it and you know it's wrong
Realizing that the person wearing blue jeans is interested in the singer, but acknowledging that pursuing them would be morally questionable

But you don't worry about a thing, do ya
Observing that the person wearing blue jeans doesn't seem too concerned about the potential moral implications of their attraction to the singer

I feel you sweating me from over there
Sensing that the person wearing blue jeans is interested in the singer from a distance

I see this girl you're with but you don't care
Noticing that the person wearing blue jeans is with another person, but they don't seem to care about being unfaithful

Acting like I'm shy but Boy you best beware
Implying that the singer is playing coy, but the person in blue jeans should be careful because they might ignite something

I can light your match and start a fire in here
Warning the person in blue jeans that they might get more than they bargained for if they pursue the singer

I know you want it I know you need it And how I'm feeling I really really really wanna Strike the match strike strike the match Strike the match strike strike your match
The singer is interested in the person in blue jeans and wants to pursue something more with them, symbolized through the use of starting a fire with striking a match

Now I don't mind if we Doecee Doe Do a little dance to service your ego But I ain't tryin to take it out that door You gotta tell your girl to leave
The singer is willing to dance with the person in blue jeans, but doesn't want anything beyond that without the other person ending things with their current partner

Don't mean to interrupt a perfect date But I need a man who only spins one plate Flames are getting higher and they just won't wait Boy I know you're thirsty come and get your milkshake
The singer is interested in someone who is not already taken, and the attraction between the two of them is becoming increasingly intense, symbolized through growing flames and a thirsty person craving a milkshake

The match The match The match The match Strike strike the match...
Reinforcing the central motif of striking a match as a symbol for igniting the spark of attraction between two people

I know you want it I know you need it And how I'm feeling I really really really wanna Strike the match strike strike the match Strike the match strike strike your match
Reiterating the singer's interest in pursuing something more with the person in blue jeans, using the same striking a match motif

I know you want it I know you need it And how I'm feeling I really really really wanna Strike the match strike strike the match Strike the match strike strike your...
Continuing to emphasize the singer's desire to pursue something more with the person in blue jeans, using increasingly urgent language to describe the attraction between them
