I confess, I messed up
Droppin, "I'm sorry", like you're still around
And I know you dressed up

I think the title is the movie Sixteen Candles and the song Touch Me. The song is about a guy and a girl who really like each other, and she was waiting for him to ask her out, or whatever. She keeps giving him chances ( boy with too many chances)But it takes to long and finally she gets a different boyfriend. I also think in doing so she may have told him off ( she said why don't you just drop dead).I don't blame you for being you, but you can't blame me for hating it. She was 'being her' by just going with another guy, and he hates it. So next time he wants to be pushed along, so say what are you waiting for kiss her kiss her, so that he does not lose the girl. Set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late. That is really obvious, he was too late asking her. Also in the song I think he shows how perfect, or popular this girl is. Things like, your just the girl all the boys want to dance with, and You can make all the moves, you can aim all the spotlights
Get all the sighs and the moans just right. That's all I got! ;)

You people are ridiculous and naive. It is about Pete who likes this girl and she likes him back, nothing about her being popular or anything about vampires or "dead horses". geeze. He likes the girl and he wants to sleep with her, but she won't because she wants to wait till she's sixteen. He hates that and tries to pressure her, so they aren't going out anymore, he's trying to get her back but she won't have a bar of it. Hence the title, "a little less sixteen candles" and the rest of it is a from a song by Samantha Fox that is like about sex and stuff or something, and and little more "touch me" or "sex" and that why "touch me is in quotes. duh

The song name, A Little Less Sixteen Candles A Little More "Touch Me" is basically saying enough with the romantic bullshit lets have sex and doesn't tie in with the song, really.

Well, if you've ever seen 16 candles it's about a girl named Samantha Baker who wasn't exactly popular but she wasn't geeky and she wanted to date this guy Jake Ryan who just happened to be the popularist guy in the school, unfortunately the geekiest guy in school liked HER. Her birthday went like crap because nobody in her house remembered, but she finally got him for her b-day. Basically I think this song is about a person just like Samantha or even the geeky guy. They like this one person soooo much but no matter what they do they can't escape the peer pressure, the taunts, the "oh you'll never get him" or the "geeks," "nerds," or whatever other names they had to endure. They like this person so much they don't want to let the pressure get to them and give up on going for that person, but it's really hard because they are afraid the person'll lose interest in them or...they will run out of time. They are afraid that the experience will change them, and the way they view themselves and others.

I think the songs about two people in a fight
(I don't blame you, for being you, but you can't blame me for hating it)
He kinda wants to get back together (Kiss her)and feels bad (sitting on your front porch again dreaming, she said x3 why don't you just drop dead)
but she's too dramatic and won't get down to business (the title)

Ok FOB is one of my favorite bands and this is one of my favorite songs. I never really understood it until I went out with this girl in ninth grade (last year) and I obsessed over her. She was awful to me and I was always apologizing but I never thought she was wrong so I let it go, which is what I think the message of the song is

I'll accept you for you but that doesn't mean I have to agree with the things you do. A mutual agreement.

My interpretation of this song is that who ever the narrator is wanted to go out with this girl, and had oh so many chances to ask her out, but missed them all

I confess, I messed up
dropping "I'm sorry" like you're still around-he wanted to ask her out, and now its to late (shes gone)

hey kid you'll never live this down-hes never going to forget that he messed up so bad

'Cause you're just the girl all the boys want to dance with
And I'm just the boy who's had too many chances- she's got all the boys attention (duh) and he can't get to her now, but he could have in the past

I don't blame you for being you
But you can't blame me for hating it-he doesn't really hate her, he just hates that she is so pretty/popular and he can't get to her now

So say, what are you waiting for?
Kiss her, kiss her-his friends told him to go for it

I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late-he was to late (again, duh)

Write me off, give up on me
Cause darling, what did you expect
I'm just off a lost cause
a long shot, don't even take this bet- this is the narrator being down on himself. He's saying why should she even ever bother with him, cause he is such a loser. but, he still maybe loves her

I believe the song to be about a couple,not hard.

"I confess, I messed up
Droppin, "I'm sorry", like you're still around"
The guy in the relationship screwed up, did something wrong or whatever and he is trying to get back with her, but she moved on and I think has a new boyfriend.

And I know you dressed up
"hey kid, you'll never live this down"
Seems like whatever happened happened at a formal event and that makes him feel worse


You're just the girl all the boys want to dance with
And I'm just a boy who's had too many chances
She is popular and hot and he has screwed up before

I'm sleeping on your folk's porch again, dreaming
She said, she said, she said, "Why don't you just drop dead?"
he tries to be close to her and win her back by sleeping on her porch, all he can think about is the breakup day

I don't blame you for being you
But you can't blame me for hating it
he doesn't like her for ending it and not giving him another chance

So say, "What are you waiting for? Kiss her! Kiss her!"
I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late
he wants her to accept the apology he also is showing that he is ready to make change to please her by setting his clocks early

Write me off, give up on me
'Cause darling what did you expect
I'm just off a lost cause
A long shot, don't even take this bet
he is realizing that he sucks and he was not a good boyfriend and agrees now that it is okay for her to want to leave but he wants another chance



You can make all the moves, you can aim all the spotlights
Get all the sighs and the moans just right
to him she is the best and he is probably in love with her from the obsession over her supposed perfection

Always on (always on)
You said you'd keep me honest
Always on (always on)
But I won't call you on it
Always on (always on)

in here we find out finally what he did wrong,
he cheated on her and he has cheated on previous girlfriends
she said that she could change him but he cheated anyways and now he wants her because he realizes he is in love

I think this is about a girl out of a guys league but she likes him regardless and wishes he would ask her out. He doesn't because he is possibly too nervous or some reason. He waits too long and she basically tells him to "drop dead". He instantly regrets his haste and tries his best in vein to get her back "sleeping on your folks porch again"
