I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time
'Cause when you're standin' oh so near
I kinda lose my mind
It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair
And I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time
I don't mind you hangin' out
And talkin' in your sleep
It doesn't matter where you've been
As long as it was deep, yeah
You always knew to wear it well and
You look so fancy I can tell
And I don't mind you hangin' out
And talkin' in your sleep
I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed
I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time, time
'Cause when you're standin' oh so near
I kinda lose my mind, yeah
It's not the perfume that you wear

This is simply a cool song about being really attracted to a chick. The narrator is saying he's willing to take all the negative side effects of being with the girl because he wants to be with her. The bleeding and feeding part is classic cars. Dark, cynical, sarcastic lyrics. The bleeding and feeding is just realistic lyrics about relationships, people feed and bleed each other. Nothing sick. Classic Cars. Great song.
@bakismaki That is not what this song is about. This song is about being a very destructive relationship with a toxic woman.
@bakismaki Yeah this song is a case study in sarcasm... When Ben Orr sings I guess you're just what I needed he means it as the exact opposite .. Example: That's just what i needed is said when people mean that's the last thing they needed to happen to them.. People never say I don't mind you comin' here<br /> And wastin' all my time, & mean that either if they didn't mind the person hanging out they wouldn't say wastin all my time.. When he sings I don't mind you comin' here<br /> And wastin' all my time, time<br /> 'Cause when you're standin' oh so near<br /> I kinda lose my mind, yeah. He's not talking about physical attraction, he talking about mental frustration .. All of this is evident with the line "So bleed me " This isn't a love song, it's a song about a guy that;s trying to breakup with his girlfriend
lol, pikespice
i think it's a not so typical love song. he just likes this girl even with her faults and he doesn't care where she has been before. he can't explain why he likes her (ie. it's not her perfume or ribbons) she's simply, just what he needed
So bleed me = so take advantage of me, It's okay, i'm willing to put up with it because I want to be with you
I needed someone to feed = I needed someone to take care of, someone to depend on me
Nothing sick in the lyrics. Just typical cynical Cars lyrics. A lot of their songs have lyrics like that.
It's about a FTF relationship. They don't love each other romantically, but it's great for the moment because he doesn't want a relationship -- he just wants somebody to talk to (feed) and have sex without strings attached (bleed), not to mention she's really hot (kinda lose my mind) and can have a decent conversation (as long as it was deep). She keeps showing up for a booty call (wasting all my time) but it's good for him right now. So, not really a love song, but a great song about a friends-with-benefits kinda situation.
Doesn't anyone think this song is about nothing more than "friends with benefits?"
I don't think it's a "love" song at all.
Absolutely. It's about sex without the emotional attachment.
@jonnyb No, it is about a really toxic relationship with a woman who is using you.
@hcc please cite the reference material by which you came to the knowledge of what JWIN is about. If you can't, please stop correcting people's own opinions of what it's about. <br /> <br /> As far as I'm concerned the lyrics are perfectly ambiguous, allowing for different interpretations. Mmmkay?
This song makes me want to shop at Circuit City.
@pikespice LOL<br />
"It's not the ribbons in your hair", I love they way they sing that, and I sort of agree (or want to agree) with bakismaki about the "feed" part, although it's most likely nasty sexual innuendo.
It seems to be about someone liking, almost loving, someone that may not feel the same way, or they do and they don't show it. There's negative ramifications to their relationship but the person's from whose point of view its from doesn't mind it because they need to feel that intimacy or just need to be relied on. Their relationship is probably not going to last, but as he said, "I guess you're just what I needed." Could be for that period of time in his life or the person's effect on him but yeah, Just What I Needed.
\'Cause when you\'re standin\' oh so near I kinda lose my mind\' This leads me to believe this is related to sex. \n\n"I needed someone to bleed" He is referencing someone else. Bleeding someone else, either sexually or bleeding them of something emotionally. \n\n"I needed someone to feed" Again, he is feeding someone, not himself. it could be a sexual reference. Feeding someone with his tool or possibly someone to be fed with things he needs to get off of his chest. \n\nThe song is not about give-and-take, it is based on his needs. "I needed" not what someone else needs. It leads me to believe there is some darkness to the song.
This song is about this guy liking this girl just for who she is, and he doesn't mind being aroud her and "wasting all his time" because he enjoys the time that he's wasting.
@0cool No. Listen to the inflection of the voice. This is about a guy realizing he is being used. <br /> <br /> "Yeah, yeah, so bleed me."<br /> <br /> He has gotten into a relationship with a woman who is emotionally draining- toxic personality. <br /> <br />
@hcc About realizing he's being used: Maybe. <br /> <br /> About her "emotionally draining blah blah blah: NOPE.
