Spooky
Peggy Simms Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When everything is gettin' kinda groovy
You call me up and ask me
Would I like to go with
you and see a movie?
At first I say: "No, I've got some plans for tonight"
But then I stop
And say: "Alright"
You always keep me guessing
I never seem to know what you are thinking
And if a girl looks at you
It's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin'
I get confused I never know where I stand
And then you smile
And hold my hand
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little boy like you
Spooky hey
If you decide some day to stop this little game that you are playing
I'm gonna tell you all the things my heart's been a-dying to be sayin'
Just like a ghost you plan on hauntin' my dreams
But now I know
You're not what you seem
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little boy like you
Spooky hey
The song "Spooky" by Peggy Simms speaks of a boy who keeps the singer guessing with his mysterious ways. In the cool of the evening, the boy would call her up to go and catch a movie, and even though she had other plans, she would find herself saying "Alright" to his request. The boy's character is described as spooky, and he has a knack for making the singer feel confused about their stance. Whenever this boy looks at other girls, he winks his little eye, making the singer feel more bewildered.
The singer eventually decides that the boy is playing a little game, and she exclaims that she will tell him all that her heart has been dying to say. The boy has been haunting her dreams like a ghost, but she now comes to the realization that he is not what he seems. The singer here is talking about her realization that she can't keep playing games with the boy; instead, she wants to be open and honest with him about her feelings. It's a lighthearted, catchy tune that speaks of young love and its challenges.

In the cool of the evening
During the comfortable evening time
When everything is gettin' kinda groovy
When everything is going well and fun
You call me up and ask me
You initiate a call to me and inquire
Would I like to go with you and see a movie?
Do I want to accompany you to watch a film?
At first I say: "No, I've got some plans for tonight"
Initially, I refuse as I have other engagements
But then I stop And say: "Alright"
However, I pause and agree subsequently
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little boy like you
Being in a relationship with someone like you is inexplicably strange
You always keep me guessing
You never cease to puzzle me or keep me in suspense
I never seem to know what you are thinking
I can't seem to figure out your thoughts or feelings
And if a girl looks at you
If any other girl glances at you
It's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin'
You would undoubtedly give her a suggestive wink
I get confused I never know where I stand
I am often bewildered about the status of our relationship
And then you smile And hold my hand
But then, you smile and hold onto my hand
If you decide some day to stop this little game that you are playing
If you ever decide to put an end to this game you play
I'm gonna tell you all the things my heart's been a-dying to be sayin'
I'll reveal all the words my heart has longed to express
Just like a ghost you plan on hauntin' my dreams
Similar to a ghost, you intend to keep appearing in my dreams
But now I know You're not what you seem
But now I have realized that you are not who you appear to be
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little boy like you
Being in a relationship with someone like you is inexplicably strange
Spooky hey
Spooky, isn't it?
