Blonde Woman evil.
Hard to accept. But... If a gun were to my head and I had two choices out of three, I'd choose music and drink. Both are the stuff of dreams. And a man - more than anything - needs to dream...
(Ironically, this beautiful anthem was on my digital music screen - pictured - as I waited in vain to get f*cked, s*cked. Brilliant. What does it mean - "to love somebody"? Does it mean to let them sleep when sleep is needed? Or does it mean - conversely - to fight off sleep and go rescue your husband from drink and music and reward him with f*cking and s*cking?)
There's a light A certain kind of lightThat never shines on meI want my life to beHere with youI wanna be with youThere's a way I hear everybody sayJust to do everything that I canBut what good will it doIf I can't have youIf I can't have youBaby, you don't know what it's likeNo you don't know what it's likeYou don't know what it's likeNo you don't know what it's likeTo love somebodyTo love somebodyThe way I love you*Guitar solo*I'm a manCan't you see that's what I amEvery breath that I take I take from youBut what good will breathing doIf I can't have youIf I can't have youBaby, you don't know what it's likeNo you don't know what it's likeYou don't know what it's likeNo you don't know what it's like*Musical break*No you don't know what it's likeNo you don't know what it's likeYou don't know what it's likeNo you don't know what it's likeTo love somebodyTo love somebodyThe way I love youThe way I love you*Musical break*No you don't know what it's likeNo you don't know what it's likeNo you don't know what it's likeYa just don't know what it's likeTo love somebodyTo love somebodyThe way I love youThe way I love you
This is a great song, and BR's version is great too.
ReplyDeleteI've always detected what I assumed was bitterness in the chorus: "You don't know what it's like, no you don't know what it's like," etc.
The Bee Gees wrote some good music from the point of view of the loser. Often makes for a winning song...
