Rick then goes on to repeat his manifesto and continues to tell you that you know exactly what’s going on here, so you should stop dicking around and just start a relationship with him. Don’t bother asking him how he’s feeling - you already know. He wants to get this relationship on the road and he’s jumpstarting it. He shuns subtext and spits in the face of subtlety. Because, like, you already know there’s a mutual thing going on. Rick refers back to the known expectations of romance and proposes that you just get on with it. He straight up tells you that you fancy him. This is the section of the song where Rick uses his intimate knowledge of you - gathered from many years of friendship - to cut through the elaborate mating dance of generic courtship. Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it This is quite self-explanatory he’s setting out his relationship manifesto and it all seems to focus rather heavily on the negative aspects of romance. Rick goes on to tell you (rather forcefully, if I’m honest) that he’s got something to say.
He’s one of a kind…because he’s willing to offer monogamy. He’s not up for being fuck buddies or playing love games and he’s feeling pretty confident that no other gent is going to extend you the same courtesy. He’s acknowledging that he’s been through the relationship wringer before, which tells us the dude has been pretty unsuccessful and is now looking at future romantic relationships in a more pragmatic, transactional way.ĭude has gone in. Which is kinda unromantic, if I’m honest. We begin with Rick setting the expectation about his specific brand of romance - dude is already approaching this in a very practical, no-bullshit way.
