DELANEY JANE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cool as the other side of the pillow
Smooth as another glass of wine, oh yes sir
I'm so glad U're my baby, oh yeah
I'm so glad that U're mine
Bad as Bonny when she ran with Barrow, yeah
When U kiss me, feels like I'm committing a crime, oh yeah
U use furniture in new ways, yes you do
I can't find the adjectives enough to say

I'm so glad U're my baby okay (yeah yeah yeah yeah)

Cool as the other side of the pillow (oh baby)
So smooth there's another glass of wine (bubbly, bubbly)
I'm so glad U're mine, U're my baby (oh yes I am), oh yes I am (oh yes I am)
I'm so glad U're mine

Cool as the other side (U're my baby) of the pillow
Smooth, I wanna drink U all out
How did U learn that trick with the chair?
I don't care
Just as long as U do it again

Cool as the other side, cool as the other side, cool as the other
Cool as the other, cools as the other side
As the other side of the pillow, baby
Cool (cool)
Glas of wine
I'll get tipsy and I

Cool as the other side of the pillow
Cool

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to NIQUE/MARK/PRINCE/DELANEY JANE's song "Other Side" speaks about an intense and passionate relationship with someone who is absolutely amazing, with qualities that are impossible to describe. The metaphorical comparison of this person to the other side of the pillow that is cool and smooth, and a glass of wine that is refreshing and intoxicating, emphasizes just how incredible this person is.

The lyric "Bad as Bonny when she ran with Barrow" also adds to the rebellious and passionate nature of the song. Bonnie and Clyde were notorious outlaws known for their daring cross-country crime sprees, and the comparison implies that the singer's lover is just as daring, exciting, and rebellious as the iconic duo.

The use of furniture in a new way implies creativity, imagination, and spontaneity in the relationship. The singer is so in love with their partner's sexual prowess that they can't find enough adjectives to describe how incredible they feel when they're together. Throughout the song, there is an emphasis on the physical and emotional intensity of the relationship.
