SOS
The Chipettes Lyrics

Lalala, lalala, lalalalala, oh (You know I never felt like this before)
Expressing the feeling of experiencing something new and unknown.

Lalala, lalala, lalalalala, oh (This feeling’s like so real)
Acknowledging that the feeling is genuine and not imagined.

I’m obsessive when just one thought of you comes up
Admitting to being fixated on thoughts of the person in question.

And I’m aggressive just one thought ain’t close enough
Describing a strong desire to be physically close to the person.

You got me stressing, incessantly pressing the issue
Feeling anxious and persistent about resolving the situation.

‘Cause every moment gone you know I miss you
Expressing the depth of the longing and how every moment without the person is difficult.

I’m the question and you’re of course the answer
Affirming that the person is the solution to the problem in question.

Hold me close boy ’cause I’m your tiny dancer
Asking for physical closeness and intimacy, as a reference to the Elton John song.

You make me shaken now, I’m never mistaken
Feeling strong emotions and indicating trust in the person not to hurt them.

But I can’t control myself, got me calling out for help
Acknowledging that the situation is overwhelming and wanting assistance to deal with it.

S-O-S please someone help me
Making a plea for help and using the SOS signal as a metaphor for the intensity of the situation.

It’s not healthy for me to feel this way
Recognizing that the emotional state is negative and not good for one’s wellbeing.

Y-O-U are making this hard (Hard)
Attributing responsibility for the situation to the person being longed for.

You got me tossing and turning can’t sleep at night
Struggling to sleep and expressing the impact of the emotional state on one’s life.

This time please someone come and rescue me
Asking for intervention and help in resolving the situation.

‘Cause you on my mind has got me losing it
Explaining that the constant thoughts of the person are causing mental instability.

I’m lost, you got me lookin' for the rest of me
Feeling like a part of oneself is missing without the person, indicating a co-dependence in the relationship.

Love is testing me but still I’m losing it
Acknowledging the difficulty in dealing with love and the impact it can have on one’s emotions.

Just your presence and I second guess my sanity
Feeling like the person has a strong influence on one’s sense of stability and sanity.

Yes it’s a lesson, it’s unfair, you stole my vanity
Acknowledging that the experience is a lesson and recognizing that it is not fair that one’s sense of self has been affected.

My tummy’s up in knots, and when I see ya it gets so hot
Feeling physical symptoms of anxiety and attraction when in the presence of the person.

My common sense is out the door, can’t seem to find the lock
Feeling like rational thought and decision-making abilities are affected by the emotional state.

Take on me you know inside you feel it right
Expressing confidence that the person feels the same way and inviting them to take the relationship forward.

Take me on, I could just die up in your arms tonight
Desiring physical closeness and expressing the intensity of the feeling.

I melt with you, you got me head over heels,
Feeling deeply in love and physically and emotionally overwhelmed by the person.

Boy you keep me hanging on the way you make me feel
Acknowledging that the person has the power to keep one in the relationship through their influence on one’s emotions.

Boy you know you got me feeling open and
Admitting to feeling vulnerable and exposed in the relationship.

Boy your love’s enough with words unspoken
Acknowledging the strength of the person’s love, even without explicit verbal expression.

I said boy, I’m telling you, you got me open
Asserting that the person has had a significant impact on one’s emotional state and vulnerability.

I don’t know what to do it’s true, I’m going crazy over you
Expressing confusion and uncertainty about how to deal with the emotions and the impact of the relationship.

I’m begging
Desperately asking for the person’s attention and help in resolving the situation.

Somebody help me, yeah
Extending the plea for help to anyone who may be able to provide assistance.

Oh
Expressing continuing feelings of overwhelming emotions and vulnerability.
