Well it's a big big city and it's always the same
Can never be too pretty, tell me your name
Is it out of line if I was to be bold and say "Would you be mine"?
Because I may be a beggar and you may be the queen
I know I may be on a downer I'm still ready to dream
Though it's three o'clock, the time is just the time it takes for you to talk
So if you're lonely why'd you say you're not lonely
Oh you're a silly girl, I know I hurt it so
It's just like you to come and go
And you know me, no you don't even know me
You're so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you's just irresistible
Well it's a big big city and the lights are all out
But it's as much as I can do you know to figure you out
And I must confess, my heart's in broken pieces
And my head's a mess
And it's four in the morning, and I'm walking along
Beside the ghost of every drinker here who has ever done wrong
And it's you, woo hoo, that's got me going crazy for the things you do
So if you're crazy I don't care you amaze me
But you're a stupid girl, oh me, oh my, you talk
I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry
And only, a girl like you could be lonely
And it's a crying shame, if you would think the same
A boy like me's just irresistible
So if you're lonely, why'd you say you're not lonely
Oh you're a silly girl, I know I hurt it so
It's just like you to come and go
And know me, no you don't even know me
You're so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you's just irresistible
Can never be too pretty, tell me your name
Is it out of line if I was to be bold and say "Would you be mine"?
Because I may be a beggar and you may be the queen
I know I may be on a downer I'm still ready to dream
Though it's three o'clock, the time is just the time it takes for you to talk
So if you're lonely why'd you say you're not lonely
Oh you're a silly girl, I know I hurt it so
It's just like you to come and go
And you know me, no you don't even know me
You're so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you's just irresistible
Well it's a big big city and the lights are all out
But it's as much as I can do you know to figure you out
And I must confess, my heart's in broken pieces
And my head's a mess
And it's four in the morning, and I'm walking along
Beside the ghost of every drinker here who has ever done wrong
And it's you, woo hoo, that's got me going crazy for the things you do
So if you're crazy I don't care you amaze me
But you're a stupid girl, oh me, oh my, you talk
I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry
And only, a girl like you could be lonely
And it's a crying shame, if you would think the same
A boy like me's just irresistible
So if you're lonely, why'd you say you're not lonely
Oh you're a silly girl, I know I hurt it so
It's just like you to come and go
And know me, no you don't even know me
You're so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you's just irresistible

The one i like the most is the one in which this boy who has a broken heart from an earlier relationship meets this girl and founds her amazing even if she's kinda crazy, and so amazing he can't belive she's lonely even if she says opposite and so amazing he feels inferior to her so he wants her to know him and found him as irresistible as he think she is.
I think this song is about the union between two people who have been hurt and are cautious entering into anything. Perhaps they are casually seeing each other and both want it to be more but are worried that the other one isn't interested so they put up a front.
As far as saying "So if you're crazy, I don't care you amaze me" I don't think he is saying that she is crazy. She's so amazing that even if she WAS crazy, he wouldn't care.
That's my interpretation of it. It has a lot to do with personal experiences though.
Can never be too pretty tell me your name
Is it out of line if I was to be bold and say "Would you be mine"?
Verse 1: [This place is just the same as it always has been. Despite that, its still beautiful.
Whats your name? Am I crossing a boundary by asking you to be with me?]
Because I may be a beggar and you may be the queen
And though I may be on a downer I�m still ready to dream
Though it's 3 o'clock the time is just the time it takes for you to talk
Verse 2: [I dont feel worthy of you, the thought of that is a bit depressing,
but I can still dream right? It may be 3, but I still wanna here what you have to say.]
So if you're lonely
Why'd you say you�re not lonely?
Oh you�re a silly girl, I know I heard it so
It's just like you to come and go
And oh me, no you don't even know me
You�re so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you �s just irresistible
Chorus: [Why are you telling me that your not lonely, when you know that you are?
Your so sill, but I love it. Your alwyas coming into my life and leaving again.
You dont know me as well as you think that you do, but its cute of you to try
to get to know me. Your just so irresistable.]
Well it's a big big city and the lights are all out
But it's much as I can do you know to figure you out
And I must confess, my hearts so broke in pieces
And my heads a mess
And it's 4 in the morning, and I�m walking along
Beside the ghost of every drinker here who has ever done wrong
And it's you, woo hoo
That's got me going crazy for the things you do
Verse 3: [This big city doesnt look the same anymore. I cant make sense of the things that
have happened, but I'm trying to figure it all out. I do have to tell you though, you broke
my heart and left me confused. Its 4 in the morning, and Im out here walking, trying to
clear my head. Its you, thats got me going crazy with everything you say and do.]
So if you�re crazy, I don't care you amaze me
But you�re a stupid girl, oh me, oh my, you talk
I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry
And only, a girl like you could be lonely
And it's a crying shame, if you would think the same
A boy like me's just irresistible
Verse 4: [I still love you weather your crazy or not, everything you do amazes me.
Sometimes you do stupid stuff, but you still have me going crazy over some of the
things you do. Only someone like you would think that you were meant to be lonely,
and its sad that you think that. To you, I really am irresistable.]
So if you're lonely
Why'd you say you're not lonely?
Oh you�re a silly girl, I know I heard it so
It's just like you to come and go
And oh me, no you don't even know me
You�re so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you's just irresistible
Chorus: [See previous chorus]
The only reason I was able to gather this much from the song is because this
is very much me and my ex's song. It describes us pretty much to a tee.
I hope you can understand it.
(strangely my name is chelsea..)
when i heard this song i was freaked out by how much i felt it was perfect for me.
i think that its about this guy waiting around for an interesting pretty perfect girl, and he's sick of all the mindless pretty girls around who arent interesting.
this girl "come(s) and goe(s)" and has not been able to commit to anyone and is lost in life just like the author of the song.
she insists shes crazy, she's different, and that's exactly what the author likes about her.
she is painfully lonely but too strong to admit and he has such a deep understanding for her immediately that he calls her out on it.
this song is so romantic and one of my favorites.
"its 4 in the morning and im walking along, beside the ghost of every drinker whos ever done wrong and its you ooh who, whos got me going crazy for the things you do"..mabye he got drunk made a move, he basiically got knocked back, and he feels sorry for himself.
I think i totally get it, but then so does everyone who relates to a song, thats why music is soo good!
Thats just what i take from it :D
i was waiting to perform at a music festival, and one of the acts before did this song, it was so good. they managed to play it so well :D
i love it hahahaha
that's the way i see it, at least.
i've never been in a relationship before (i'm only in 9th grade), and this song makes me feel so lonely and long for affection. i can only wish that someone will someday feel that way about me.
