This is a long shot but, to me, the lyrics make sense if her man has drowned (“at the bottom of…”) and she is enlisting the help of seagulls (who’d appreciate being given fish) in getting him back, before she drowns herself trying to reach him. Does anyone have a better idea?
Give Me Back My Man Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She cuts her hair
And you call his name
Wishin' everything could be the same
Like when she had him
[Chorus]
I'll give you fish
I'll give you candy
I'll give you everything I have in my hand
[Verse 2]
Walking out of Korvettes
Package in her hand
Motions to all the seabirds
Throws divinity on the sand
[Chorus]
I'll give you fish
I'll give you candy
I'll give you everything I have in my hand
[Bridge]
Give me, give back my man
Give me, give back my man
[Verse 3]
Head's in a whirlpool
Spinning round and round
If she don't get her man back
She's gonna drown
[Chorus]
I'll give you fish (Watch that motorboat)
I'll give you candy (She's in the motorboat)
I'll give you everything I have in my hand
(Her man's at the bottom of, give her back her man)
[Bridge]
Give her, give back her man (I'll give you fish, I'll give you candy)
(I'll give you everything I have in my hand) Oh oh, woah, oh, oh
I'll give you fish (Oh)
I'll give you candy (Oh, woah, oh, oh)
I'll give you everything I have in my hand (Oh, oh woah, oh, oh, woah)
[Chorus]
I'll give you fish
I'll give you candy
I'll give you everything I have in my hand
