Talking Heads – The Lady Don't Mind lyrics
Last time she jumped out the window, well, she only turned and smiled
You might think she would say something but you'd have to wait a while
Well the lady don't mind, no, no, no, the lady don't mind
She just turns her head and disappears and I kinda like that style
Little boat, it floats on a river, it's drifting through a haze
She floats by whenever she wants to, well, there she goes again
Well, it's no trouble at all, no, no, no trouble at all
Well, what she does is all right with me and I kinda like that style
Come on, come on, I go up and down
I like this curious feeling
I know, I see, it's like make believe
Cover your ears so you can hear what I'm saying
I'm not lost but I don't know where I am
I got a question
All right, all right, this is what we like
Who knows, who knows what I'm thinking?

She says love is not what she's after but everyone knows
Each time she looks in the mirror, well, she lets her feelings show
Well, the lady don't mind, no, no, no, the lady don't mind
She just turns around and disappears and I kinda like that style
Uh-oh, uh-oh, here we go again
I don't know, I don't know what I'm sayin'
Hey man, hey man, I sure don't feel the same
She likes to say what she's feeling
Hey, did I get a big surprise, I know you think so
Come on, come on, she says anything
Who knows, who knows what she's thinking?

    This song is about a relationship between a man and a woman who has a mental disorder. Manic depressive or borderline personality. Likely platonic at he outset. However, both of them are all right with it. It is not about suicide. Byrne does not write about suicide. When she 'jumps out the window she is up. Floating in the mist means she is down. And she likes the curious feeling.

    The first part is about him. the next part is about her. "c'mon, Im up. Im down" "Im not lost but I don;t know where I am" means she is down a the moment not sure of what she is thinking. But it is no trouble at all. She can come and go as she pleases in the man's life.

    Now the topic changes to love. He is love with her but "hey man, I sure dont feel the same". It is unrequited. "Did I get a big surprise". And the song ends with a constant repeating of "uh oh". W hat have I done? Where do we go from here?; The song does not drift out to nothing. A perfect ending.
