Wuthering Heights
Susan Egan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out on the wiley, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green.
You had a temper like my jealousy:
Too hot, too greedy.
How could you leave me,
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you. I loved you, too.
Bad dreams in the night.
They told me I was going to lose the fight,
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights.

Heathcliff, it's me--Cathy.
Come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Heathcliff, it's me--Cathy.
Come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Ooh, it gets dark! It gets lonely,
On the other side from you.
I pine a lot. I find the lot
Falls through without you.
I'm coming back, love.
Cruel Heathcliff, my one dream,
My only master.

Too long I roam in the night.
I'm coming back to his side, to put it right.
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering,
Wuthering Heights,

Heathcliff, it's me--Cathy.
Come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Heathcliff, it's me--Cathy.
Come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Ooh! Let me have it.
Let me grab your soul away.
Ooh! Let me have it.
Let me grab your soul away.
You know it's me--Cathy!

Heathcliff, it's me--Cathy.
Come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Heathcliff, it's me--Cathy.
Come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.





Heathcliff, it's me--Cathy.
Come home. I'm so cold!

Overall Meaning

The song "Wuthering Heights" was inspired by Emily Bronte's novel of the same name, which tells the story of Heathcliff and Catherine's tumultuous love affair. Susan Egan's version of the song tells the story from Catherine's perspective, as she pleads with Heathcliff to come back to her, even after their intense and often destructive relationship has ended.


The lyrics describe the moors that Catherine and Heathcliff used to roam and play on, but now Catherine is alone and haunted by bad dreams. She expresses her jealousy and frustration with Heathcliff's hot temper, but also her love for him, which leads her to attempt to reconcile with him. She describes the loneliness and emptiness of life without him, and ultimately begs him to let her in and allow her to be with him once again.

MOMSENSE
(As sung by Susan Egan)

Get up now
Get up now
Get up out of bed
Wash your face
Brush your teeth
Comb your sleepy head
Here are your clothes
And your shoes
Hear the words I said
Get up now
Get up and make your bed

Are you hot?
Are you cold?
Are you wearing that?
Where’s your books
and your lunch
and your homework at?
Grab your coat
and your scarf
and your gloves and hat
Don’t forget
you gotta feed the cat

Eat your breakfast
The experts tell us
it’s the most important meal of all
Take your vitamins
so you will grow up
one day to be big and tall

Don’t forget your piano lesson
is this afternoon
So you must play
Don’t forget
the orthodontist will be
seeing you at three today?

Don’t shovel
Chew slowly
But hurry
The bus is here

Be careful
Come back here
Did you wash
behind your ears?

Play outside
Don’t play rough
Will you just play fair?
Be polite
Make a friend
Don’t forget to share
Work it out
Wait your turn
Never take a dare
Get along
Don’t make me come down there

Clean your room
Fold your clothes
Put your stuff away
Make your bed
Do it now
We don’t have all day!
Were you born
in a barn?
Would you like some hay
Do you e-ven hear a word I say?

An-swer the phone
Get Off the phone

Don’t sit so close
Turn it down
No texting at the ta-ble

No mo-re
computer time tonight

Your iPod’s
my iPod
if you don’t listen up

Where you go-ing
and with whom
and what time
do you think
you’re coming home?
Saying thank you,
please, excuse me
Makes you welcome
everywhere you roam

You’ll appreciate my wisdom
Someday
when you’re older
and you’re grown
Can’t wait for you to have
a couple little brats (I mean children)
of your own

You’ll thank me
for the counsel
I gave you
so willingly

But right now
I’ll thank you
-NOT to roll
your eyes at me

Close your mouth
when you chew
I’d appreciate
Take a bite
Maybe two
Of the stuff you hate
Use your fork
Do not you burp
Or I’ll set you straight
Eat the food
I put upon your plate

Get an A,
Get the door
Don’t be smart with me
Get a Grip
Get up here
I will count to 3

Get a job
Get a life
Get a PhD

And also
I
don’t care who started it
You’re grounded
until your 36

Get your story straight
And tell the truth for once
for heaven’s sake

And
if all your friends
jumped off a cliff
Would you jump too?

If I’ve said it once,
I’ve said at least
a thousand times before

That
you’re
too old to act this way
It must be
your father’s DNA

Look at me when I am talking
Stand up straighter
when you walk

A place
for everything
And everything
must be in place

Stop crying or I’ll give you something
real to cry about

Brush your teeth
Wash your face
Get your PJs on
Jump in bed
Get a hug
Say a prayer with Mom
Don’t forget
I love you
**KISS**

And
tomorrow we will do it all again
because a mom’s work never ends

You don’t need
the reason why
Because
Because
Because
Because

I said so
I said so
I said so
I said so

I’m the Mom
The mom, The mom, The mom

The mom
The mom
Ha!
