Whaddaya Mean by That Songtext
von John Cale

Teach me how to love, teach me how to hate
I′m your student, I mustn't be late
Standing in the window staring at the street
I see you in the distance fading from the heat

You ask if you′d hurt me
Whaddya mean by that
Look 'round the corner
You don't remember that

Feels like dancing on the head of a pin
Watching and waiting for you to begin
Letting your lonely heart reach out to me
The dancer who′s standing still at your feet


You asked if you′d hurt me
Whaddya mean by that
Look 'round the corner
You don′t remember that

Take me to your bedroom, lay me on the floor
Before we get started, better lock the door
Deep in the shadows, there's plenty of room
For you to be dancing, a dancing fool

You asked if you′d hurt me
Whaddya mean by that
Look 'round the corner
You don′t remember that

You asked if you'd hurt me
Whaddya mean by that
Look 'round the corner
You don′t remember that
