So you think you know What's going on inside her head You think she wants your money But it's you she wants instead When you think about the things That she did long ago It breaks your heart, but deep down Boy, you don't want her to go You really look so shattering You feel you want to die Just because of the one mistake Of telling you a lie If I were you I'd try again And try to make amends She only thinks of you, you know I'm talking as a friend

    General Comment:It's no secret that Ozzy was a huge Beatles fan. Lyrically, he's attempting to recreate and expand on the themes set in the 1963 Lennon/McCartney hit "She Loves You".

    General Comment:As for the title, I think it's something like NIB where they just slapped a random name on it. That's the only explanation I can think of.

    General Comment:Yeah, the meaning is pretty straightforward, but I can't figure out how the title relates at all.

    St. Vitus' Dance is a nuerological disorder characterized by jerky, uncontrollable muscle spasms of the arms and/or legs that seem to flow along the limbs and cause it to look almost like one is dancing in place. If anyone can explain the relation between the title and the meaning of the song or the lyrics, I would be grateful.

    so you think you know whats going on inside her head
    you think she wants youre money but its you she wants instead

    when you think about the things that she did long ago
    it breaks you heart but deep down boy you dont want her to go

    you feel your love so shattering
    you feel you want to die
    just because the one mistake of telling you a lie

    if i were you id try again and try and make amends
    she only thinks of you im talking as a friend

    General Comment:Pretty straightforward, about a relationship breaking up because the guy thought the girl was just after his money, but it was true love and it breaks his heart.
