Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don't you change one hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day.
The song "My Funny Valentine" by Saez Damien is a classic love song that appreciates the imperfect yet endearing qualities of the singer's Valentine. The opening lines express how the Valentine makes the singer smile with their heart, indicating that the Valentine has a special place in the singer's heart. The following lines describe how the Valentine's looks may not be picture-perfect but are still the singer's favorite work of art. The singer acknowledges that the Valentine's figure may not be "less than Greek," implying that the Valentine may not have a perfect physique, which is okay with the singer. The lines "Your looks are laughable, unphotographable" reveal that the singer is focusing more on the Valentine's character and not physical attributes.
The song's chorus repeats the lines, "But don't change a hair for me, Not if you care for me, Stay little Valentine stay, Each day is Valentine's day." These words express the singer's sincere affection for the Valentine and how they love them just the way they are. The singer wants the Valentine to know that their imperfections are not only accepted, but they are an essential part of who they are and make them unique. The last lines of the chorus represent how every day with the Valentine is like Valentine's Day for the singer. This means that the singer has a deep connection and love for the Valentine, and they cherish every moment they spend with them.
