Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna call her on the phone
Whatcha doin' right now?
Out of luck
Pick me up somewhere in Santa Monica
So sick of this town
(Gotta get out, get out)
No stressin'
Go grab your Dolce dress
It's so simple, it's crazy
The way I'm feelin' lately
Take my angel out to Vegas
Gonna leave L.A.
So over Hollywood
She drives me crazy
Feels so outrageous
Can't get enough
Tonight's the night
That she turns twenty-one
Let's pretend this won't end
Another drink
So many friends
Feeling so good
Yeah, we're all right
We've been up, we've been down
We let the world spin us round
Take my hand
Let's go all night, yeah
'Cause when I'm by your side
I start to get this feeling
Everything will be cool
And I keep on believin', baby
The stars I'm seein'
Take my angel out to Vegas
Gonna leave L.A.
So over Hollywood
She drives me crazy
Feels so outrageous
Can't get enough
Tonight's the night
That she turns twenty-one
I'll take you out to Vegas
Maybe we'll get married
Maybe we'll get rich
(Ha ha, that'd be nice)
She drives me crazy
Feels so outrageous
Can't get enough
Tonight's the night
That she turns twenty-one
Take my angel out to Vegas
Gonna leave L.A.
So over Hollywood
She drives me crazy
Feels so outrageous
Can't get enough
Tonight's the night
That she turns twenty-one
Tonight's the night
That she turns twenty-one

Damn Refreshing to actually have someone sing about having a Wife to Love Forever...Where has our commitment to the Good Stuff gone? My wife and I are going to CELEBRATE 30 years in June...She is my precious one. Thinking of not having her by my side makes me cry, just to briefly think of that possibility. Commitment is hard, BUT definatly worth it in the long run. She is the one I have grown to love deeply year after year. I love you Cynthia!
