Yours To Keep
Teddybears Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Won't you call my private number?
We can go away for the summer!

We can drive around with the top down
Stereo turned up loud with a fat sound
Cause I'm yours to keep if you want to

But I hear that you wanna ditch me
But you know I'm not such a bad seed.

We can drive around with the top down
Stereo turned up loud with a fat sound
Cause I'm yours to keep if you want to
Cause I'm yours to keep if you want to

We can have some fun with an ear drum
We can bang away on the tom tom

We can drive around with the top down
Stereo turned up loud with a fat sound
Cause I'm yours to keep if you want to

Won't you come on down to the freak show?
He can sit along as my hair grows.

We can drive around with the top down
Stereo turned up loud with a fat sound
Cause I'm yours to keep if you want to




Cause I'm yours to keep if you want to
Cause I'm yours to keep if you want to

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the Teddybears' song "Yours To Keep" depict a person who is willing to go on a summer adventure with their significant other, but they are plagued with doubts about their relationship. The songwriter urges their partner to call their "private number" and that "we can go away for the summer" while driving around with the "top down" and blasting the stereo. Despite feeling a bit insecure about their relationship, the songwriter proclaims that they are "yours to keep if you want to."


The lyrics suggest that the person's partner has expressed an interest in breaking up with them, but the songwriter tries to convince them otherwise by saying "you know I'm not such a bad seed." The songwriter continues to suggest activities they can enjoy together, like having fun with an "ear drum" or banging away on a "tom tom." They also invite their partner to join them in a "freak show" and assures them that he will still be into them even as his hair grows.


The song seems to be about the struggle of maintaining a relationship when one person looks to be less committed or interested than the other. The song's peppy, upbeat tempo and catchy lyrics make it a fun track to dance to, even if the message can be interpreted as somewhat bittersweet.
