As I walk this line, I am bound by the other side
And it's for my heart that I'll live
'Cause you'll never die
Well if you want to know me, I'm a war
Companion
Nothing you can say can tear me away from my guy
Nothing you can do 'cause I'm stuck like glue to my guy
I'm sticking to my guy like a stamp to a letter
Like birds of a feather, we stick together
I'm telling you from the start, I won't be torn apart from my guy
Nothing you can buy could make me tell a lie to my guy
Nothing you could do could make me untrue to my guy
I gave my guy my word of honor to be faithful and I'm gonna
You best be believing, I won't be deceiving my guy
As a matter of opinion I think he's tops
My opinion is he's the cream of the crop
As a matter of taste to be exact
He's my ideal as a matter of fact
No muscle-bound man can tear me away from my guy
B. I. L. L. I. E. H. O. L. I. D. A. Y.
B. I. L. L. I. E. H. O. L. I. D. A. Y.
If she wants to go, if he wants to go, if she wants to go, if he wants
If he wants to go, if she wants to go, if he wants to go, if she wants
If she wants to go, if she wants to go, if she wants to go, if she wants
If she wants to go, if she wants to go, if she wants to go, if she wants
B. I. L. L. I. E. H. O. L. I. D. A. Y.

I hadn't caught the connection between the fact that the lyrics are obviously from the Mary Wells song "My Guy," except for the fact that they of course spell out Billie Holiday's name, and give the song her name as well. After reading other comments I've read about Billie Holiday's "My Man," which would have been her equivalent.. so to speak. It's kind of like Warpaint is singing the happy lyrics of My Guy, but with a sad meaning hidden behind it... like a woman singing about how much she loves her 'man', yet she's actually being abused by him, which is more like the My Man song. Fascinating stuff.

At risk of being an asshole I must admit this is at least somewhat accurate. But I feel like also pointing out that at least Warpaints music isn't just blatant standard easy-listening pop with no flair, frills or risks. Their music is complex, somtimes strange at times and different, so imo; they're far more admirable than someone like Beiber. Also; as far as I'm aware; they're not owned by a huge corporation. And I'd be a liar if I said I don't have a huge crush on the bass player. And I'm a bass player myself... shit
