Lyrics for Turning Japanese as interpreted by Boonechic_21

Turning Japanese Lyrics
I've got your picture
Of me and you
You wrote "I love you"
I love you too
I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do

Oh it's in color
Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel
And soft as clouds
I often kiss you when there's no one else around

I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of you over myself
I asked the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down and turning in and turning 'round

I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so

I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of them over myself
I want the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down and turning in and turning 'round

I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so

No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger
Everyone

That's why I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
(Think so think so think so)
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so

Well the song is about masturbation.
Think about how guys eyes go all slitted just as they are about to come

This song is soooo funny. I don't understand it but once when I was young my dad had heard it and started singing it out of nowhere and it cracked me and just reading the lyrics makes me crack a smile.

I think its obviously about masturbation in prison or jail. Someone looking at a girls picture.

I heard that this song was about the guy going gay. I don't believe that at all, & agree with the masturbation thing, but what is this part about..."No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women, No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark"?

Maybe the whole "no sex.. no drugs..." part is about being straight edge. I mean true straight edgers abstain from just about all those things. although masturbation is okay.

Look, you shouldn't believe everything you see on the tele, you know? This song has double meanings. It really depends on the way you look at it. One way, would be the obvious-Masturbation. Okay, we've got that. But think about it. "Oh it's in color Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel And soft as clouds
I often kiss you when there's no one else around"...He might be talking about falling in love with a Japanese girl, and the whole world around him shuns him, because he isn't Asian. He might feel that he is so in love that he, too, is starting to feel a bit Japanese.

Or...He could be talking about masturbation. ^_~

Why does the guy have to be in jail if he has a pic? You can jack off with a pic anywhere, not just in jail. And I do think that's what this song is about.

I fell pretty japanese myself.

It means he's trying to give himself head, but can't do it. And his gets all japanese-like while he's trying to bend down that far.

If you guys like songs about masturbation, you should also listen to It's Only Me by the Barenaked Ladies.

well, when dave originally wrote this song, it supposedly was a love song...and later when interviewers asked him if it was actually about masturbation or not he'd answer no or yes, depending on his mood .. so basically you can decipher it any way you want to

i think i get it, there's a stereotype on japanese people for being addicted to sex (bored) so when they have no sex, what else is there to do but masturbate? so i think what he means is something close to that - i'm turning japanese meaning, i can't live without sex
