The Magic Numbers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh baby, too bad too bad
I don't think I'll ever see your face again
But I don't wanna lose your love
But I don't wanna choose just once
So I don't wanna lose your love
Oh
Oh it's bad, too bad
I don't think I'll ever feel the same again
Oh baby, baby, I'll beg, I'll beg
Cause I found it, but I don't know what it is
And I don't wanna lose your love
For I don't wanna choose just once
See, I don't wanna lose your love
Oh but it's gone!
And I don't wanna lose your love
But I don't wanna choose just once
And I've been having too much fun
Oh
Long legs
Don't give me no head rush in the morning
Oh baby, I'm sad, I'm sad
Cause you'll leave me, and I won't know how it is
And I don't wanna lose your love
And I don't wanna choose just once
And I don't wanna lose your love
Oh but it's gone!
And I don't wanna lose your love
But I don't wanna choose just one
So I don't wanna lose your love
Oh but it's gone!
The Magic Numbers's song "Long Legs" is about the struggle of not wanting to lose someone's love, but also not wanting to commit to just one person. The lyrics express the desire to keep a connection with a person who provides a certain feeling, but at the same time, acknowledging that this connection might not be strong enough to withstand the pressure of a relationship. The singer is torn between wanting to hold on to this feeling forever and the knowledge that it might not be possible.
The phrase "long legs" could symbolize an unattainable ideal or a person who is difficult to pin down - perhaps someone who is always on the move or uninterested in settling down. The repeated line "Don't give me no head rush in the morning" suggests that the singer wants something stable and reliable, rather than a fleeting attraction. However, the chorus ("I don't want to lose your love") contradicts this by revealing that the singer is not ready to give up on this connection.
Overall, the lyrics to "Long Legs" express the complicated emotions that come with wanting to hold on to a meaningful connection with someone, while also acknowledging the reality that this might not be possible. The song is a poignant reminder that relationships are often a delicate balance between desire and practicality.

Where was this recorded? It sounds different from the studio version.
Zetetick
Well this is all kinds of wonky,
wibbly-wobbly,
and in and out of time.
- Like every group-member is high af on a different drug: LSD / Speed / Valium - but they're still all trying their best to play the same song.... @_@
Nicole Torres
