Bates - Ones You Love [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Told her I can't be her boyfriend
She almost went and found herself a boyfriend
I'd have been left thinking what a catch she was
It's my fault, of course
One of my tragic flaws
Just like she has- just like anybody does
Ooh (burp)
You. Had what I need
Just my speed
Just a friend
And so, you. You move right along
What a lover he must have been
But see, I would have seen four eyes
Just as he was shutting off your porch lights
Bust a lens
Remind me
To never ever love
And to never ever ever even lust again
You see my dog brother caught me
Off-guard when he taught me
How to never let me emotion or thought be
Governed
Just let them ride. Like a cat, I copy
But he still won't understand when I tell him I love him
No I've just always made it clear
I've left it unspoken with you too
Love's a word they say to fear
I've just been replacing it
With words like "miss"
Because I would have to commit
With a verb like this

But look, the ones you love
Shouldn't really have to guess
That you love them
The ones you love
Shouldn't really have to guess
That you love them. Ooh
The ones you love
Yeah, the ones you love
The ones you love
Shouldn't really have to guess
That you love them

Give love, give love, give love, get love
I may have love if we met up
Women, men, human or not
Women, platonic or we do it a lot
But when I really drop the L word, it's few and it's far
Between. If I find that place with
Someone else it may just
Ruin your heart
There's not confusing you with a thot
And I may have a whole lot
More than you would have thought
I hope you know that never means that it's
Meaningless
Every place I've seen exists
All the Aphrodites and the Venuses
Surround myself with Aphrodites and the Venuses
I'm taking one home, depending on who the keenest is
The ones I love
Are the ones I know
Unless we got like blood
Or your a fun type, though
Yeah if you really like the plum ripe, yo
But I've been trying to make it so
When I come, I go
Woah

(Guitar solo)

But look, the ones you love
Shouldn't really have to guess
That you love them
The ones you love
Shouldn't really have to guess
That you love them. Ooh
The ones you love
The ones you love
The ones you love
The ones you love
The ones you love
Shouldn't really have to guess
They shouldn't really have to guess, no
