Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers - This Love of Mine [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Well, some boys don't believe you can have much fun
And that's why you ought to know about this love of mine
Sticking with one girl as their only one
And that's why they ought to know about this love I have

I want them to throw me a glance
Give me a little chance
I'll sing them personally a song about a real romance
I knew I was gonna wait for her when I didn't have a sign
And that's why you ought to know about this love of mine

Well, some girls don't believe that a boy can stay
And that's why they should know about this love of mine
They think the boy's got to turn around one day
And that's why they ought to know about this love of mine

They're gonna think, uh-oh, it won't work
They'll think, I'm gonna look like a jerk
I tried it in first grade and all I got was hurt
But I knew I would wait for her when I didn't have a sign
And I think that's why they should know about this love of mine

Well now, Mister Realistic, ain't you feeling kind of cold
And that's why you ought to know about this love of mine
Uh-oh, you've forgotten what it's like to feel five years old
And that's why you ought to know about this love I got

Want you to put down your glass
Want you to give me a little chance
I'm gonna sing you a little song about a real romance
I knew I would wait for her when I didn't have a sign
And that's why you ought to know about this love of mine

Well now, some boys think of marriage as a high ideal
And that's why you ought to know about this love of mine
They don't see in their dreams how they could play for real
And that's why they should know about this love I have

Throw me a glance
Give me a chance
I'll sing you a little tale about a real romance
I knew I would wait for her when I didn't have a sign
Well that's why you ought to know about this love of mine

Well, Mister Realistic ain't you feeling kind of cold
And that's why you ought to know about this love of mine
You've forgotten what it's like to be five years old
And that's why you ought to know about the love I have

Oh it won't work
Oh I'm gonna look like a jerk
I tried it in first grade
I got hurt, I got hurt
Look, I wanted her when I had no sign
And that's why you ought to know about this love of mine
