She don't know who she is,
I can take her anywhere,
Do whatever comes naturally to you,
You know she just don't care

'Cause I'm always where I need to be
Yeah, and I always thought I would end up
With you, eventually
Do dodo do do do do

Now I see her again,
I ask to be her hummingbird,
Whisper words in her ear,
Oh now you know I just don't care,

'Cause I'm always where I,
Where I need to be
I-I-I always, always thought
I would end up with you eventually!

I'm a man, I'm a man on the scene,
I'm a man, and I can be so obscene
Because I always think that I know how to be,
But I always thought that I would end up with you, eventually,
I'm a man, I'm a man on the scene,
I'm a man, and I can be so obscene.

    General Comment:I think its about a guy who is with a girl and he can do whatever he wants with her and she doesnt care because she doesnt know who she is and i dont think he really cares about her, and he is telling this to the girl he loves and he always thought he would be with. He is saying the girl he is with now its just a fling and eventually he will end up with the girl he wants because he is always where he needs to be.

    General Comment:His changing between saying she/her and saying you sounds as if hes talking to one girl about another.

    I think hes used one girl to make another jealous. He can take her anywhere cuz shes there to be seen and the girl hes talking to can get jealous or do whatever and the girl her is using doesnt care cuz she doesnt know her or care about her.

    Hes always where he needs to be for her to see the two of them together. he always thought they would end up together but because at that point of time he wants to make her jealous. but maybe realises its only her that he wants.

    Then he sees the girl he was using again and whispers words in her ear so the girl he wants to be with sees. he doesnt care if he hurts her because she hurt him. and the girl hes using doesnt care because she doesnt know whats happening.

    he says hes a man and he can be so obscene. hes rubbing it in her face that hes a man and other people want him and he canbe with them and such.

    tiredness is affecting my thinking :(

    General Comment:i personally think this song is about a close friend who he always thought of as more than a friend. they've got a really good friendship and stuff. this girl might not really have strong opinions on stuff (she don't know who she is) so she gets on with all this guys friends and everyone he knows (i can take her anywhere), so she's pretty much ideal for him.
    i guess in the end he picks up the courage to ask her out, he knew he'd end up with her eventually.
    it's a lovely song if you ask me. :)

    General Comment:I believe it's open to interpretation, as is most of the kooks' lyrics, or just lyrics in general for that matter. But the Kooks' music especially. That's what makes it so beautiful, you can view it as you wish making it relatable.
    Personally, when I hear this song I like to think of it as a person stuck in a relationship with a woman who really just is seemingly out of touch with herself and the world which is expressed when Luke says "she don't know who she is. She just don't care." Also I believe he's refering to his longing to be with an old friend (perhaps girlfriend) when he says "Now I see her again, I asked to be a humming bird, whisper words in her ear." He also states that he always thought he would eventually be wind up with this person because he's always where he needs to be, but despite this, he still is without her.

    General Comment:I think its about a guy whos so comfortable with his girl.He doesnt have to worry about acting or saying something wrong,,because "she simply doesnt care"
    also he knows his nature as a guy is...not so proper.
