Being the first single in debut album, Eliza Doolittle,
this serves as a taste of the whole album.
This song shows her perspective, in a love-hate relationship.
It’s a play-on-play on how even though one can dislike their partner’s personality, you can still enjoy the sexual chemistry you share.
[Verse 1]
I really don't like your point of view
I know you'll never change
Stinging me with your attitude
I've got the mind to walk away
I really don't like your arrogance
Or your policies
You're ninety-nine percent an embarrassment
With just one quality
[Chorus]
I don't mind it when you [whistles]
Brings out the best in me when you [whistles]
Show your expertise
When the night always ends with a fight I'm excited
That you'll wind up next to me
I like it when you [whistles]
Can I have some please of that [whistles]
Satisfy my needs
Sometimes I fake that I hate you and make up
So you wind up next to me
[Verse 2]
I really don't like your skinny genes
So take them off for me
Show me what you've got underneath
So we can do this properly
I really don't like the way you smile
When you think you're right
But I will forgive you, the yolk is in the middle
And we're chewing through the white
[Chorus]
I don't mind it when you [whistles]
Brings out the best in me when you [whistles]
Show your expertise
When the night always ends with a fight I'm excited
That you'll wind up next to me
I like it when you [whistles]
Can I have some please of that [whistles]
Satisfy my needs
Sometimes I fake that I hate you and make up
So you wind up next to me
[Bridge]
I dreamt that you were on a train
You were leaving, you were leaving
It made me think of what I'd miss
Do you believe it, you believe it
[Chorus]
I don't mind it when you [whistles]
Brings out the best in me when you [whistles]
Show your expertise
When the night always ends with a fight I'm excited
That you'll wind up next to me
I like it when you [whistles]
Can I have some please of that [whistles]
Take off your skinny genes
Sometimes I fake that I hate you and make up
So you wind up next to me
[Outro]
I dreamed that you were on a train
And you were leaving, you were leaving
