That old dog has chained you up alright
Give you everything you need
To live inside a twisted cage
Sleep beside an empty rage
I had a dream I was your hero
Chorus
Damn I wish I was your lover
I'll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything
Tonight I'll be your mother I will
Do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed
This monkey can't stand to see you black and blue
Give you something sweet each time you
Come inside my jungle book
What is it just too good
Don't say you'll stay
'Cause then you go away
Chorus
Shucks for me there is no other
You're the only shoe that fits
I can't imagine I'll grow out of it
Damn I wish I was your lover
If I was your girl believe me
I'd turn on the Rolling Stones
We could groove along and feel much better
I could do it forever and ever
Give me an hour to kiss you
Walk through heaven's door I'm sure
We don't need no doctor to feel much better
Let me in
Forever and ever and ever and ever
I sat on the mountainside with peace of mind
I lay by the ocean making love to her with visions clear
Walked for days with no one near
And I return as chained and bound to you
Chorus
Give you everything you need
To live inside a twisted cage
Sleep beside an empty rage
I had a dream I was your hero
Chorus
Damn I wish I was your lover
I'll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything
Tonight I'll be your mother I will
Do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed
This monkey can't stand to see you black and blue
Give you something sweet each time you
Come inside my jungle book
What is it just too good
Don't say you'll stay
'Cause then you go away
Chorus
Shucks for me there is no other
You're the only shoe that fits
I can't imagine I'll grow out of it
Damn I wish I was your lover
If I was your girl believe me
I'd turn on the Rolling Stones
We could groove along and feel much better
I could do it forever and ever
Give me an hour to kiss you
Walk through heaven's door I'm sure
We don't need no doctor to feel much better
Let me in
Forever and ever and ever and ever
I sat on the mountainside with peace of mind
I lay by the ocean making love to her with visions clear
Walked for days with no one near
And I return as chained and bound to you
Chorus

I guess she doesn't believe in pulling out.
When you fall for a straight person there isn't much you can do if your not the opposite gender. I've been there. frustrating.
I had no idea she was bi.
Hot.
The line about "I am everything. Tonight I'll be your mother" is an example of how she could take care of this woman the way a mother would care for a child. Tuck her in at night, undo all the pain athat this man caused her friend and she would be her guardian. But it's clear the mother thing is only figurative...she'd make sure they had a passionate relationship if only the straight girl would give her a chance "I'll do such things to ease your pain, free your mind and you won't feel ashamed".
One of my favorite lines of the song is part of the ad lib fade...you hear her say "I'm feeling like a school boy, too shy and too young." That's such a great line...she has nothing but admiration for this woman but she's so unattainable Sophie feels like it's some "school boy" case of unrequited love.
Has anyone else heard the Eels cover of this song :) It does it justice!
