You hardly even notice
When i try to show you this
Song is meant to keep you
From doin what your supposed to
Wakin up too early
Maybe we could sleep in
Makin banana pancakes
Pretend like its the weekend now
We could pretend that all the time
Cant you see that its just rainin
There aint no need to go outside
Just maybe
Halaka uka layly mama made a baby
Really dont mind the practice
Cuz your my little lady
Lady lady love me
Cuz i love to lay you lazy
We could close the curtains
Pretend like theres no work outside
We could pretend that all the time
Cant you see that its just rainin
There aint no need to go outside

The telephone rings
Sayin its too early dont pick it up
We dont need to
We got everything we need right here
And everything we need is enough
Just so easy when everything you need has got his mama's eyes
And your whole world fits in your arms
And you know
And i know
That you know

Baby
You hardly even notice
When i try to show you this
Song is meant to keep you
From doin what your supposed to
Wakin up too early
Maybe we could sleep in
Makin banana pancakes
Pretend like its the weekend now
We could pretend that all the time
Cant you see that its just rainin
There aint no need to go outside
Aint no need, aint no need
Rain all day and i really really dont mind
Cant you see?, cant you see?

    General Comment:It's a sweet love song. Makes you want to awaken beside someone you love and cook breakfast together as neither of you even notice the rain outside; all you do is concentrate on the other :)

    General Comment:i think this song doesnt have to be his wife/girlfriend. more to his daughter. its not a love song. its a song thts a desperate attempt to get his daughter to stop growing. to stop from her not being his little girl anymore you know?? maybe we should all just eat banana pancakes and stop fricking growing.

    well, i think the meaning is often enough explained^^

    and by the way, has someone a good recipe for banana pancakes (maybe some original hawaians if there are some?)? I haven't really found some good recips in the internet and it would be great if someone could send me a recip in a message :D thanks

    General Comment:oh god! im sorry! it was bugging me so much! These are the real lyrics. ALL of them:


    Cant you see that its just raining
    Aint no need to go outside...
    But Baby, You hardly even notice
    When I try to show you this
    Song is meant to keep ya
    From doing what your supposed to
    Like waking up too early
    Maybe we can sleep in
    Ill make you banana pancakes
    Pretend like its the weekend now

    And we could pretend it all the time
    Cant you see that its just raining
    Aint no need to go outside

    But just maybe, laka ukulele
    Mommy made a baby
    Really don't mind the practice
    Cause your my little lady
    Lady lady love me
    Cause I love to lay here lazy
    We could close the curtains
    Pretend like there's no world outside

    And we could pretend it all the time
    Cant you see that its just raining
    Aint no need to go outside
    Aint no need aint no need Mmm Mmm
    Cant you see cant you see
    Rain all day
    And I don't mind.

    But, the telephone is singing
    Ringing its too early
    Don't pick it up
    We don't need to we got everything
    We need right here
    And everything we need is enough
    Just so easy
    When the whole world fits inside of your arms
    Do we really need to pay attention to the alarm
    Wake up slow, Mmm Mmm wake up slow
    But, Baby
    You hardly even notice
    When I try to show you this
    Song is meant to keep ya
    From doing what your supposed to
    Like waking up too early
    Maybe we can sleep in
    Ill make you banana pancakes
    Pretend like its the weekend now

    And we could pretend it all the time
    Can't you see that it's just raining
    Aint no need to go outside
    Aint no need, Aint no need
    Rain all day and I really really really don't mind
    Can't you see cant you see
    You gotta wake up slow

    ok... good... i dont really have an interpretation other than he's just trying to pamper his wife and he deceided to write her a song... its a really cute, and very good song! love it!
