I love this song, but can somebody answer this question? What the hell are they saying?

I think they're singing, "My clothes are tight and the crotch is like a cheap hotel with no ballroom" and the refrain is "Stay on your side of the Hudson".

Tell me if you still care for me (?) If we really care for each other, then tell me baby....why are we apart?

Billy Joe and girlfriend were no doubt throwing a (miscarried) baby off the bridge, IMO.

Good grief. My mind never went in that direction. I thought they were throwing flowers off the bridge while contemplating suicide because of being stuck in a one horse town.

How strange. I never before heard a song by her I didn't like. I always figured there ain't no way.

Ain't No Way was one of my favorites when I was young and in love.

I loved all of her songs except the one you posted. This is the first time I've even heard it. "Lamont Sanford" sang a few bars of "Respect" while he was scrubbing the floor in one episode that kept me laughing for years. I wish I could find it on YouTube.

I only listen to songs that reach deep within me. Meaningful lyrics, music with great rhythm, harp music, drums,.... Trouble is though, all I want to do then is listen; move to the beat......and so it's impossible to get anything done, like chores, whatever. I need silence, or listen to something that I have little interest in, if I'm to get at those chores.

So Elsie, how do you find those special songs without lots of listening?
