Lovers Ought To
The Kabeedies Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Go!

Some other pretty girls were dancing at the party
Some of them were nice but most of them were tarty
Silly little rich kids couldn't take their drugs
Beer was spilling everywhere and landing on the rugs

But we were,

Acting like loves ought to
(Acting like lovers ought to)
Acting like lovers ought to
(Acting like lovers ought to)
Let's go

You and me and me and you will have so much fun with you and me oh,
You and me and me and you will have so much fun with you and me oh you

Jimmy take your clothes off throw them on the bed
Tryin' not to talk so I'm kissing you instead
Messin' about with MySpace poses
And we tried to show affection buying plastic roses

Acting like loves ought to
(Acting like lovers ought to)
Acting like lovers ought to
(Acting like lovers ought to)
Let's go

You and me, and me and you, will have so much fun, with you and me oh,
You and me, and me and you, will have so much fun, with you and me oh you

I love you
I love you
I love you

Go!

You and me, and me and you, will have so much fun, with you and me oh,
You and me, and me and you, will have so much fun, with you and me oh you

Overall Meaning

The Kabeedies' song "Lovers Ought To" is a fun and catchy tune that explores the idea of being in love and acting accordingly. The first verse sets the scene at a party, where the singer sees other girls dancing with the guys, but they seem “tarty” - possibly suggestive or trying too hard to impress. Meanwhile, our hero and their love interest are “acting like lovers ought to”, showing affection and enjoying their time together. The chorus reinforces this idea, suggesting that the two of them will have fun together, over and over again. The second verse describes the two getting closer, as the singer kisses their love interest instead of talking to them, exploring different MySpace poses and buying plastic roses, all in an effort to show affection. The song ends with the repeated chorus and a declaration of love.

Overall, the song is a lighthearted tribute to young love, with its ups and downs, awkward moments, and pure joy. The lyrics are playful and relatable, drawing the listener in with the catchy melody and upbeat rhythm.
