This song delves into the complexities of love and longing. The lyrics express a yearning for companionship, with the protagonist inviting someone to share in their world. The mention of "ossifying body" suggests an awareness of aging and mortality, prompting a desire for deeper connections. The repetition of "What have I got to do" reflects a sense of desperation and uncertainty about how to make the desired person reciprocate their feelings. Despite this, there's an acceptance of flaws and readiness for inevitable mistakes within the relationship, signifying maturity and realism about love's imperfections. Ultimately, it's a poignant exploration of human connection, vulnerability, and the quest for love.
Won't You Come Over
Lyrics
I used to live alone, but I found you, so certain
I'm yours to take
Now I can't wait for all the mistakes
We've yet to make
Now shake it up, baby, twist and shout
We're war-torn buildings, all bombed out
Love, not unlike
I got drunk, pissin' the night away
Love, not unlike
Won't you come over and love me?
Won't you come over again?
Can you overcome the unnerving
Ossifying body you're in?
I used to live alone just counting the pretty little flowers on my dress
I can't wait to consecrate this wondrous mess
Words unforgotten 'til we sing again
Start at the bottom, and then we descend
Love, not unlike
Little joy in/around no more
Love, not unlike
I am woman, hear me roar
Love, not unlike
Larry Lemon, sanctified
Love, not unlike
Won't you come over and love me?
Won't you come over again?
Help me overcome the unnerving
Ossifying body I'm in
I ask all the time
But you never tell me
What have I got to do, to make that man want me?
What have I got to do (Lovin' you is makin' it easy)
To make that man love me (Lovin' you is makin' it up)
What have I got to do (Lovin' you is makin' it easy)
To make that man want me? (Lovin' you is makin' it up)
What have I got to do (Lovin' you is makin' it easy)
To make that man love me (Lovin' you is makin' it up)
What have I got to do?
