Maybellene I Hofteholder Lyrics

Saturday I love you like gold
Not like the Monday, you pass like a ghost
The fire killed you like a motherless child
I saw you last Sunday at Barbara Hotel
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh babe I'm so sorry, I've nowhere to

Could scream like a pig, could bark like a dog
Just to get attention as I'm chasing you down the hall
Oh Maybelenne you've been so lonely
Got a fire burning as I'm smoking you out again
Still all the leaves will keep on falling
Until I see you dancing on the table forty-five again

(I) see you dancing for the young wolves oh oh oh
Maybellene I Hofteholder
Could you be the only one
Well I beg you to come home
Dance forever my only one

Could scream like a pig, could bark like a dog
Just to get attention as I'm chasing you down the hall
Oh Maybellene you've been so lonely
Got a fire burning as I'm smoking you out again

(I) see you dancing for the young wolves oh oh oh
Maybellene I Hofteholder
(I) see you dancing for the young wolves oh oh oh
Maybellene I Hofteholder
Could you be the only one
Well I beg you to come home
Dance forever my only one

I flicked the switch at Monday night
Oh Maybellene I'm so sorry that I didn't see it coming
And now the sky, I filled with prayers
Oh baby I'm sorry I was blind

What is the Meaning of Maybellene I Hofteholder?

In a whimsical twist of heartache and longing, our protagonist is wrapped up in the throes of a tumultuous love affair with the elusive Maybellene. His affection for her shines brighter than gold on Saturdays, yet by Monday she's but a ghost. He yearns for her attention, resorting to animalistic antics like squealing and barking. The imagery of him "smoking her out" suggests his desperate attempts to draw her back into his life. Yet, Maybellene dances away, captivating younger suitors. Our lovelorn hero is left pleading for her return, promising eternal dance and companionship. The regretful tone at the end hints at a tragic turn - perhaps he's lost Maybellene forever due to his blindness to her needs or feelings. A classic tale of unrequited love served with a side of rock 'n' roll angst!
