Satisfaction
Wendy Lisa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crazy enough to think you'll ask me out
Yes, you are the talk of the town, so congratulations
With a smile as good as gold, so don't wear a frown
Every time I see you down, still you're not to bitter
You don't need a babysitter to keep you on your cloud
Baby you know it's true I'll never be too uptight
Didn't your mama tell ya?
Didn't your papa tell ya
To get a little satisfaction?
Every time you come around my heart beats a little
Faster, you're all the drug I'm sure I'll ever need
All the time I do believe your love is like a prayer
I can take you there if you feel the need
If you let me have it all I'll shoot for satisfaction
'Cause nothing ever meant so much to me
But keep in your mind we've got to keep on dancing
If all else fails won't you dance with me
Didn't your mama tell ya
Didn't your papa tell ya
To get a little satisfaction?
If love can melt down barriers
I think I'll marry ya
Every time I turn around
The shadow of you is still with me
But a shadow just can't take the place of you
When we touch caress cool kiss me deep, my baby
All I have is for ya
Didn't your mama tell ya?
Didn't your papa tell ya
To get a little satisfaction?
If love can melt down barriers
I think I'll marry ya
The song "Satisfaction" by Wendy and Lisa describes the intense longing and desire to be with someone that one is infatuated with. The lyrics convey the idea that the singer cannot resist the person who they are talking about and that they hope that this person will ask them out. In the chorus, the singer asks if their mama and papa did not tell them to get a little satisfaction, implying that they want to fulfill their desires with this person. The song also alludes to the idea that love can melt down barriers and that the singer is willing to commit themselves to the person they desire.
The verses in the song have different interpretations some might see them as a conversation with the object of desire. In the first verse, the singer points out the object of affection's popularity while acknowledging that they make them crazy enough to hope for them to ask her out. In the second verse, the singer admires how the person manages their emotions and doesn't need someone to "babysit" to remain positive. Still, this admiration is disturbed with the hope of getting close to them.

If all else fails won't you dance with me
If everything goes wrong, can we at least dance together?
Every time I turn around
Whenever I look around
The shadow of you is still with me
I still feel your presence everywhere
But a shadow just can't take the place of you
A shadow can never replace you
When we touch caress cool kiss me deep, my baby
When we touch, hug and kiss deeply
All I have is for ya
All that I have is yours
If love can melt down barriers
If love can overcome obstacles
I think I'll marry ya
I think I want to marry you
