He Loves Anna
Waltz for Debbie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take your chance at a second hand shot.
Say what you want girl,
Do what you do.
He's never gonna, gonna make it with you.
Pulling petals off a flower trying to get your way.
Keep pulling til' it says what you wanna say.
But he'd still be my baby.
I know you can hardly wait till I'm away from him.
Instinctively, I know what you're thinking.
You'll be giving him an open invitation.
But my baby won't be taken in.
You can pout your cherry lips.
Try to tempt him with a sweet kiss.
You can flirt your pretty eyes.
He ain't got his hands tied.
No chains to unlock.
So free to do what he wants.
He's into what, he's got.
He loves me, he loves you not.
No matter what you do, he's never gonna be with you
He's into what he's got.
He loves me, he loves you not.
You're the kind of girl that is always up for do or dare.
Only want him just because he's there.
Always looking for a new ride.
The grass is greener on the other side.
You're the kind of girl who's not use to hearing no.
All your lovers try to take you where you wanna go.
It doesn't matter how hard you try, never gonna get with my guy.
No chains to unlock.
So free to do what he wants.
He's into what, he's got (and that's me).
He loves me, he loves you not.
No matter what you do, he is never gonna be with you
He's into what, he's got.
He loves me, he loves you not.
Doesn't matter what you do, he's never gonna be with you.
Give it your all girl, give it all ya got.
You can take your chance at a second hand shot.
Say what you want girl, do what you do.
He's never gonna make it with you.
You can pout your cherry lips
Try to tempt him with a sweet kiss
You can flirt your pretty eyes
He ain't got his hands tied.
No chains to unlock.
So free to do what he wants.
He's into what he's got.
He loves me, he loves you not.
No matter what you do, he's never gonna be with you.
He is into what, he's got
Take your best shot
He loves me, he loves you not.
No chains to unlock.
So free to do what he wants.
He's into what he's got, (and that's me)
He loves me, he loves you not
No matter what you do, he's never gonna be with you
He's into what he's got, (and that's me).
He loves me, he loves you not
In "He Loves Anna," Waltz for Debbie expresses the jealousy of a woman who senses that another woman is trying to steal her man. The song addresses the other woman directly, telling her that no matter what she does or how hard she tries, she will never be able to win the man's heart. The lyrics suggest that the woman who is being addressed is the kind of person who always wants what she can't have and who sees the grass as being greener on the other side. Despite her efforts, however, the man is already in love with the woman who is singing the song, and there is nothing she can do to change that. Even though the other woman may try to tempt him with her cherry lips, flirt with her pretty eyes, or offer an open invitation, the man will remain dedicated to the one he loves.
The song's lyrics employ a metaphor of pulling petals off a flower to suggest a desperate attempt to manipulate the situation into the other woman's favor. The song also emphasizes the man's freedom to choose who he loves, as there are no chains to unlock and he is free to do what he wants. Ultimately, the lyrics convey a sense of confident triumph, as the woman singing the song declares that her man loves her, not the other woman. This sense of triumph is similarly reflected in the song's upbeat melody and catchy chorus.
