Lyrics for She's the one as interpreted by PapaSlurp

She's the one Lyrics
Call her effete
Call her shallow and insincere
'Cause you'll never see how perfect she could be
Then she's gone and my friends can come along
And they tell me that I'm happier
One more fight, yeah, you tell me all the time
Have you lost all of my pride?

But she's the one
She's the one
But she's the one
She's the one

Time and time I hear things that can't be true
And it's only talk cause she'll never be so cruel
Every night there's a new name on her arm
That I don't think I recognize
And it's never strange just how long she stays away
I guess I'll have to compromise

Though she's the one
But she's the one
But she's the one
But she's the one

that makes the most sense. but if it's "strange" then the 'j' sound at the end of the word is clipped, so it sounds more like "straight".

thanks for the tip.

this is my current favorite album - it's just so well-constructed, without a hint of pretense. I've never listened to his music before, but it's clear that music is a craft for him, because there's so much thought and skill evident in the composition, recording, production, and everything. This and Strawberry Jam by Animal Collective are the best two albums I've heard in the past few years - creative, exploratory, but FUN to listen to. I find something different to appreciate with every listen. Cheers

I'm pretty sure that first word has to be "effete."

Plus, if you can't tell by the fact that I'm here proposing lyrics, I think this is another highly entertaining record from Caribou.

I think the lyrics are:

"Could her feel?
Call her shallow, and insincere
'Cause I'll never see just how perfect she could be
Then she's gone and my friends could come along
And they tell me that I'm happier
One more fight; yeah, you tell me all the time
How do I swallow all my pride

But she's the one
She's the one
But she's the one
She's the one

Time and time I hear things that can't be true
And it's only talk 'cause she'll never be so cruel
Every night there's a new name on her mind
That I don't think I recognize
And it's never strait just how long she stays away
I guess I have to compromise.

Though she's the one
She's the one
But she's the one
She's the one".

I think the first line is "call her fiend"

I don't know, but it sounds to "call her feeble" to me in the beginning.

I'm thinking that she's not actually the one. that the writer knows he can do better elsewhere, but he won't because another part of him feels like it's hopeless. He feels obligated to stay with this girl because of her arbitrarily placed oneness.

perhaps pan. man you got it all wrong. he is so hopelessy in love with her that he cant see how terrible she probably really is. and hes maybe willing to accept how hes maybe not the only one that shes with.

does any one else hear "every night there's a new name on her MIND" rather than arm?
