![]() This is why he mentions "Sister Golden Hair, Sor-price". The Nun has a "surprise", it is a male dressed as a Nun. I will add a bizarre interpretation: "Sister" is a Nun. ZamI can't understand this song, but I love it.I naively thought that "sister golden hair surprise" was just a term referring to the girl but reading these comments I see that may not be the case :). He's been out doing whatever guys do & not calling the girl. ![]() Glenda from VirginiaI think the lyrics simply mean that the man is in love with a woman but is not ready to commit.Donna Hernandez from NyI have always thought the song was about a shy young man would had a crush on a Sister at Church.Jimmy Mac from PittsburghIt took me probably 40 years until I realized the line was 'Well, I've been one poor correspondent'.Due to his age he's not ready for the altar. Uncle Junior from New JerseyThe song is definitely about a young boy who fell in love with a nun.He can't stop thinking about her but is just obsessed. from Cuenca, EcuadorThe man is not brave enough to go for the girl in a serious way. Kelley from OntarioStill this says nothing on what the song is about.Jay from FloridaI always thought it was interesting that you can hear the 1,2,3,4 countdown that ends the song.He just can't be there at the wedding to see the girl he loves deeply, but couldn't commit to, get married to someone else in front of his eyes. He said 'yes' to the invite to her wedding to the other dude, tried to do the stiff upper lip and pretend he's OK with it, ie he tried to fake it - but, in the end, he just can't do it. "Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin, I just can't make it" So he just flails and asks her to love him just a little, just enough so that he doesn't totally lose her.ħ. Nothing too big going on here - he's just battling the internal paradox of not being able to live without her yet not being able to commit to her either, and now facing the prospect of losing her entirely as she gets married to another guy. Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?" "Will you meet me in the middle will you meet me in the air? So even tho he's been depressed because she broke up with him and is now engaged to someone else, he still loves her and still thinks about her all the time - and probably doesn't has gone AWOL because he knows it's his own fault for not being able to commit.Ħ. "But it doesn't mean you aint been on my mind" Nope, this is about how she broke up with him when he couldn't commit, she found someone else, now she's engaged and about to get married to that someone else, and it's depressed the hell out of him (because he still loves her) so he's turned inward and hasn't stayed in touch with her despite (presumably) her attempts to reach out to him.ĥ. This is where I'm convinced the song isn't about how he's supposedly en route to his wedding to get married to her - he's been a poor correspondent and too hard to find, which nobody does if they're about to get married, the girl would never put up with a fiance who was AWOL. "I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find" yet for whatever reason cannot make the commitment.Ĥ. This is the crux of it for the guy - he loves her, can't stop thinking about her, can't live without her. "Well, I keep on thinkin bout you, sister golden hair surpriseĪnd I just can't live without you can't you see it in my eyes?" Here's his reference to his previous serious relationship with her, she wanted to get married, but he just couldn't commit. "I aint ready for the altar but I do agree there's times, when a woman sure can be a friend of mine." Gives up for the day, gets undressed, and will try to muster up the strength to do it tomorrow.Ģ. This is where he's en route to the wedding city/venue, but because he still loves her he's depressed and just can't do it. That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself undressed" "Well I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed This song is indeed about a guy who loves a girl but can't commit to her - but the catch is that she is now getting married to someone else, has invited him to the wedding, but he still has feelings for her and so just can't bring himself to go.ġ. ![]() Agreed with all of those who say it has nothing to do with a literal sibling, nun, masturbation, etc. Ian from TexasRead through all 79 comments, and was surprised to find that the interpretation I found most plausible was not mentioned.Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind ![]() I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it When a woman sure can be a friend of mineīut it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's times That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself undressed Well, I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed
