Have mercy, baby, on a poor girl like me
You know I'm falling, falling, falling, at your feet
I'm tingling right from my head to my toes
So help me, help me, help me make the feeling go
'Cause when the loving starts, and the lights go down
And there's not another living soul around
You woo me until the sun comes up
And you say that you love me
Have pity, baby, just when I thought it was over
And now you got me running, running, running for cover
I'm begging you for a little sympathy
And if you use me again it'll be the end of me
'Cause when the loving starts, and the lights go down
There's not another living soul around
You woo me until the sun comes up
And you say that you love me
Baby, baby, hope you're going to stay away
'Cause I'm getting weaker, weaker, every day
I guess I'm not as strong as I used to be
And if you use me again it'll be the end of me
'Cause when the loving starts, and the lights go down
There's not another living soul around
You woo me until the sun comes up
And you say that you love me
'Cause when the loving starts, and the lights go down
There's not another living soul around
You woo me until the sun comes up
And you say that you love me
Say that you love me
Say that you love me
Falling falling falling
Falling falling falling
Falling falling falling
Falling falling falling
Falling falling falling
Falling falling falling

it's "you woo me up till the sun comes up"
a couple of fleetwood mac's songs do deal with drug addictions, but i don't think this one does. she's feeling used because he won't admit he loves her so they both run from it, or maybe he is using her and either way, she's falling. "say you love me" - it's sad, sweet, communication's important!

A lyrical, harmonic song about what it feels like for a woman to feel euphoric from a sexual relationship. Although the "getting weaker every day" and "use me again" parts seem to hint that she knows it's not a healthy thing to do, but she's high off the feeling.

Nice example of boomer giddy optimism that was also a bit jaded.... and the musical arrangement is high style from everyone .. I know Lindsay was an alpha male and so I always hear this arrangement and his overlording of the song structure, instrumentation, etc. These were the days of heavy studio time high production value... they just pushed it further and further. It kind of adds to the tension when you know that about it... it almost makes me think of the song being used on a movie while some violent action is taking place onscreen... as Scorsese might do... in fact there is Mac song in Casino when they are sitting in the Caddy out in the garage to avoid the FBI listening... it's a really tense scene..

I think this song is not about a woman who enjoys the sexual relationship but is feeling tired of being used by the man whom she feels deeply attached to and longs for him to feel the same, while all he wants is to continue the relationship in a purely meaningless and sexual manner.

It is a woman under the spell of a man and she knows he is not good for her in the long run.

It’s “say that you love me”
If you can’t read the subtext, she knows he’s going to break her heart. But she doesn’t care.

Cannibal RedHook Frontwoman Emmy Mack had this to say about the track; "I wanted to write a song that felt like Nine Inch Nails meets ‘WAP’. An empowering metal anthem that would help me smash some of the stigma and shame around sex that I felt for a long time after surviving SA. Consensual sex is one of the most awesome things in the world! And we’re beyond grateful to the legends in Alpha Wolf for backing this vision, for helping us inject more sexual liberation into the world of heavy music, and above all, for conspiring with us to create a horny metal song about oral sex that people can f*ck to." The Spy Doors, The Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there? Standing On The Edge Of Summer Thursday In regards to the meaning of this song:Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul. Mental Istid Ebba Grön This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io Holiday Bee Gees @[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.Rate These Lyrics
