Stephen Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her eye there was someting in that smile that
Did drive a brother wild by the way she looked
At me I was sure it would be nothing more than
A man trying to solve a mystery
Hey lady why don't you be my baby it's driving
Me crazy only watching you
Maybe I'm just not your type but I'm hopeing
Need you to be mine so if ever you are free and
A friend you need im nothing more than a man
Trying to start a history
Hey lady why don't you be my baby it's driving
Me crazy only watching you
One day we'll look back in time on the
Moments that flew by and we'll laught until we
Cry cause we'll know deep inside joy can be so
Bittersweet hand in hand you and me we're
Nothing more than our love that lasted for
Eternity
Hey lady I'm so glad that you're my baby it's
Driving me crazy lying here with you
Hey lady yes I'm so glad that you're my baby
It's driving me crazy lying here with you
It's driving me crazy lying here with you
It's driving me crazy lying here with you

He feels like he's just another man trying to figure her out, but he can't help but think about her. He starts to daydream about a future with her, and his affection grows stronger with each passing moment. He asks her to be his, and while he admits he may not be her type, he wants to try anyway. He just needs her to give him a chance, and he promises to be nothing more than a man trying to make history. The song's lyrics continue to reflect the man's hopefulness in his pursuit of the woman, expressing his joy at the thought of spending time with her, and contrasting it with the knowledge that the joy of relationships can be bittersweet.
