Story Behind the Song
Originally written as a deliberately cheesy heavy metal ballad, this song has been updated with each successive generation of technology and has evolved into an ephemeral, almost wistful techno pop anthem. If you can tolerate the mindless lyrics until the final chorus, you may be pleasantly surprised...
Lyrics
We were just 2 kids of nine,
Playing in the sands of time.
I never thought I'd see the day
When I would be heard to say:
"With you I want to spend all my time...
I can't get you off my mind.
I put myself on the line:
Samantha, won't you please by mine?"
Samantha,
Romance ya.
Samantha,
Entrance ya.
You were just a friend of mine,
Hardly ever on my mind.
Living through my teenage years,
I found myself full of fears.
The thought of your touch was my healing.
There's no doubt what I was feeling:
"With you I want to spend all my time...
I can't get you off my mind.
I put myself on the line:
Samantha, won't you please by mine?"
Samantha,
Romance ya.
Samantha,
Entrance ya.
More than just a friend of mine,
I think about you all the time.
It's more than just a game we play;
Samantha, I can't go on this way....
As a man of 21,
I though the time now had come.
A dream I though it'd only be
Until Samantha said she'd marry me.
You know, they say that love is blind.
Well it may be true, but not this time.
I saw her eyes open wide
When Samantha said she would be mine.
Samantha,
Romance ya.
Samantha,
Entrance ya.
I found my hopes realized,
When I woke up between her thighs.
We got married just in time:
Samantha bears a child of mine.
