Valentine
Trendy Lyrics

It was a Saturday night down at the Pelican Cove
The song begins by describing a scene where the singer was present at Pelican Cove on a Saturday night.

We didn't stay long
Despite being at Pelican Cove, the singer pretty much had a brief or little stay at the location.

There was some dumb white trash
At Pelican Cove, the singer noticed some individuals he termed as 'dumb white trash'.

Sportin' sideways hats
These 'dumb white trash' were seen putting on a sideways hat.

Trying to sing me a song
One of the 'dumb white trash' tried to sing a song to the artist, but it wasn't well received as it was 'dumb'.

Guess I'll hold my breath just a little bit more
As the singer was waiting, he decided to give more time by holding his breath a little bit more.

While I'm waiting for your call
The singer is waiting for a call from someone that hasn't made the call yet.

Fooled me twice well that wasn't nice
The artist has been fooled twice, and it wasn't pleasant nor nice.

Guess you didn't care at all
The artist perceives that the person that hasn't called probably doesn't care at all.

I know that you could be for real
The artist knows that the person he's waiting on could be sincere or genuine.

But it's just not the way you feel
However, it seems that the person doesn't feel the same way as the singer thinks.

I know that you are just too smart to know that
The artist thinks the person is too smart not to have an idea of how the artist feels.

I really need you
The singer confesses to needing the person he's referring to in the song.

I cannot think of anything that I would rather do
There isn't anything else the singer would prefer doing than spending time with this person.

Than be with you
The reason the singer needs this person is that they want to be with the person.

I need you now (2x)
The artist emphasizes that he needs the person as they round off the first part of the song.

We were drivin downtown on the 4th of July
In the second part of the song, the artist describes another scene where they and another person were driving downtown on July 4th.

We were getting nowhere fast
However, they weren't making any progress being where they were going fast enough.

Couldn't seem to find where to place the blame
The singer admits that they couldn't locate exactly what was wrong, blame it on oneself, or the other person.

It was the place that I looked last
Finally, the artist realized the problem was the last place that they checked.

She was a fine young skirt on the wild side
The other person referred to in the song was a young lady who was bold and lively.

I didn't want her for her mind
The artist admits that he wasn't interested in the woman's intellect.

How could she be my Valentine
However, the singer wonders how this woman could ever be his romantic partner, evaluating his options and probably feeling uncertain.

If I knew then what I know now
Towards the end of the song, the artist reflects and thinks that if he knew some things back then that he knows now, things might have been different.

I think I'd like to show you how It feels to hurt
He also specifies that, if he had the chance, he'd like to make the other person feel just how hurt he was by the person's actions.

But you're too smart to know that
However, he acknowledges that the person he is waiting on seems like they're too smart to fall or be negatively affected by such actions.
