Video Games
Tessa Odden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pull up in your fast car
Whisteling my name
Open up a beer
And you say get over here and play a videogame
I'm in his favourite sundress
Watching me get undressed
Take that body downtown
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favourite perfume on
Go play a video game
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls, Honey
Is that true
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
And baby now you do
Baby, now you do
Now you do
Baby, now you do
End
The lyrics in Tessa Odden's song Video Games tells a story of a woman being completely captivated by her lover, and the sense of safety and belonging she feels around him. The song begins with her describing a moment in which they are simply hanging out in his backyard, as he arrives in his fast car. He calls out her name, and they sit together with a beer, playing video games. As the chorus plays, Tessa sings about how everything she does is for him, and how being with him is like heaven on earth. She also asks him to tell her the things he wants to do, and whether or not she is a bad girl like he likes.
In the next part of the song, Tessa is wearing her lover's favorite sundress, and he watches her undress, before they both take a ride downtown. She tells him that he is the best, leaning in for a kiss and wearing his favorite perfume. She repeats the chorus, again emphasizing that everything she does is for him, and that heaven and earth are better because of him. The song ends with her repeating the phrase "Now you do" over and over again, further emphasizing her devotion to him.
