Uptown Girl
The Beths Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oo, OooOoo, Oo
I feel it happening
The ending is beginning
My head is spinning
I want it to stop
You want this to be over
I'm looking for closure
And coming up short
I will go out tonight
I'm gonna drink the whole town dry
Put poison in my wine
And hope that you're the one who dies
Oo, OooOoo, Oo
I was crying out
And hoping you could hear me
I thought we were friendly
Now I know we're not
You had always been
Someone I'd take a hit for
I thought you would care more
I guess I was wrong
I will go out tonight
I'm gonna drink the whole town dry
Put poison in my wine
And hope that you're the one who dies
I will go out tonight (I will go out)
I'm gonna drink the whole town dry
Put poison in my wine
And hope that you're the one who dies
I will go out tonight
I'm gonna drink the whole town dry
Put poison in my wine
And hope that you're the one who dies
I will go out tonight (I will go out)
I'm gonna drink the whole town dry
Put poison in my wine
And hope that you're the one who dies

The song is about the anger and frustration that can come with the end of a relationship, and the desire for revenge.
The lyrics of this song are powerful and emotive, and the language used is very vivid.

THE BETHS ARE TAKING OVER MY BRAIN! (help me!) This band creates
some of the catchiest tunes I have ever heard, AND I CAN’T GET THEM OUT OF MY
HEAD!
I wake up the morning… “future cold shakes from stupid mistakes…”
I hum in the shower… “I was happy unhappy…”
I am at work trying to get stuff done… “im not running away…”
I am trying to sleep at night… “im gonna drink the whole town dry…”
AHHHHHHHH! It’s like they put an implant in my head. I’m like an addict, and
all I can do is replay these videos over and over. The Beths- please keep the
amazing music coming, or stop altogether, or I may end up in the looney bin (hi
from Canada!)
