Veronica
The Palomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Borderline okay?
I mean I'm not interested, it's just a song
I just wanna clarify that y'know
Veronica
It might take some days before I see ya
Your dad's boyfriend gave me a subpoena
Cuz your dad's boyfriend gave me a subpoena
Veronica, I love you but your dad is such a prick
And his boyfriend is so very very very sensitive
All I did was just call him an ugly crybaby
And now he is filing a case just to get me
Veronica, I love you
But your dad's boyfriend gave me
60 years of jail well not that much
I don't know, maybe
Please tell him that I'm sorry
For being so naughty
I didn't mean to break his little heart
Well I guess this growing up
Wait
Veronica
It might take some days before I see ya
Your dad's boyfriend gave me a subpoena
It might take some days before I see ya
Cuz your dad's boyfriend gave me a subpoena
Veronica
It might take some days before I see ya
Your dad's boyfriend gave me a subpoena
It might take some days before I see ya
Cuz your dad's boyfriend gave me a subpoena
Your dad's boyfriend gave me a subpoena
Your dad's boyfriend gave me a subpoena
Your dad's boyfriend gave me a subpoena
Your dad's boyfriend gave me a subpoena
The lyrics of The Palomas' song "Veronica" revolve around a humorous story of the singer’s encounter with the titular character's father's boyfriend. The singer expresses his love for Veronica, who is presumably his girlfriend, but faces a legal case brought against him by Veronica's father's boyfriend, to whom he had referred as an "ugly crybaby". The boyfriend's sensitivity and reaction to the comment have resulted in the singer being served a subpoena and facing up to 60 years of imprisonment. The song implies that the singer is not interested in Veronica for her young age, and the mention of the legality and the singer's reasoning questions whether it is ethically appropriate to date someone who is borderline of legal age. Despite the legal trouble, he still wishes to apologize and loves Veronica but asserts that he is not interested in her sexually and insists that he wants to clarify his intention about the song.

So I'm 18 and shes like 16 so that's like Borderline okay?
I know the age difference between me and Veronica is touchy, so I'm questioning if it's okay or not.

Just to be clear, I'm not romantically interested in Veronica. This song is just for fun.

I have strong feelings for Veronica, but her dad and his sensitive boyfriend are causing problems. I made a harmless insult, but they are taking legal action against me.

The legal action taken against me is extreme and ridiculous. I'm not sure how long I'll be facing jail time. I apologize to Veronica's dad's boyfriend, but I didn't intend to hurt him. This situation is a lesson in growing up.
Veronica It might take some days before I see ya Your dad's boyfriend gave me a subpoena It might take some days before I see ya Cuz your dad's boyfriend gave me a subpoena
I may not be able to see Veronica for a while as a result of the subpoena I received from her dad's boyfriend. This is causing a delay in our relationship.
Your dad's boyfriend gave me a subpoena Your dad's boyfriend gave me a subpoena Your dad's boyfriend gave me a subpoena Your dad's boyfriend gave me a subpoena
This repeated line emphasizes the severity and repetitiveness of the legal action taken against me, causing issues in my relationship with Veronica.
