The message of this B-Side is as relevant as the A's: having compassion for oneself and the self-love and confidence not to conform to the norm is a very attractive quality.
lyrics
I’d never ask for you to be
The same old thing
Ever I’ll wonder what you mean
When you ask if you look pretty enough to have a really good time
I don’t mind if you don’t wanna doll it up
We could drive into the city with the radio up
We got all we need right here
I think it’s safe to say
Summer days await
Oh I’m searching for something new
I been nothing but jaded to blue
All that I ever wanted was something natural
All that I ever needed was something true
So keep it loaded in your hand
For anyone that don’t understand
That you’re a red eyed ripper on the run
Where’s the fun when there ain’t
No one beside you to say,
You’re mighty fine in that light,
You be the Bonnie to my Clyde in that light,
I can tell your guard is on
But you could walk into the party with your curlers on, baby
I don’t really care
I’d say the place to be
Is between you and me
chorus
So are you in or are you out?
Show to me what you’re all about
Every second that you waste
Tryna change your face
We could be living it up
Just like the very first time the sun came up
Just let the world revolve
We could dance into the morning to your favorite song.
Let’s find a place to play
Never fade away
I’m searchin for something new
I been nothing but jaded to blue
All that I ever needed was something natural
All that I ever wanted was you.
