I want to buy you flowers
it's such a shame you're a boy
but when you are not a girl
nobody buys you flowers

I want to buy you flowers
and now I'm standing in the shop
I must confess I wonder
if you will like my flowers

You are so sweet and I'm so alone
oh darling please
tell me you're the one
I'll buy you flowers
I'll buy you flowers
like no other girl did before

You were so sweet and I was in love
oh darling don't tell me
you found another girl
forget the flowers
because the flowers
never last for ever
never last for ever
never last for ever
my love

    I can't believe no one ever commented on this song! It's such a cute one, too. The clip is somehow pretty adorable. And what she sings is true. If you're not a girl no one ever buys you flowers.

    Yeah, I think this song is about giving (I would say "losing," but I don't think that fits quite as nicely in the meaning in my mind...) your virginity to someone who you feel might be really special to you(despite them having a little reputation as a player), and then they go and have sex with someone else without caring as much as you did about the whole significant event...

    I would quote specific lyrics here, but I think if you just listen to it while thinking about this whole situation, you'll see what I mean. (LOL NOT OVERCONFIDENT AT ALL LOL)

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
