I really don´t find any sense to these lyrics so I´d like to read your interpretations of it

Here it is:

Right in the front door I recognized the perfume
The scent was perfect in the dusk by the moon
There must be many ways to ask her to my room
Why didn’t I dare?

Well, every hour I try to get somethin’ done
Out in the weekend when I’m just havin’ some fun
I’m windin’ up with none, just zeroes, no 1’s, just space with no air

Yeah, every Friday I’m gettin’ ready to roll
I want her blue eyes start sayin’ “Hi” and “Hellow”
but I can always tell she’d rather be alone with some other guy

I get: “Bye-bye baby-baby bye baby-baby bye-bye:”
Real sugar, I don’t wanna climb the walls
Real sugar, that’s what I want or none at all
Real sugar, sweet as a sweet can be
Real sugar, that’s what I want and what I need
Real sugar, I don’t wanna climb the walls
Real sugar, that’s what I want or none at all
Real sugar, sweet as a sweet can be
Real sugar, that’s what you’ve got so what’s for me?
Hey, what’s for me?

I turn myself in, turn turn turn
I turn myself out, outside and in
Gimme gimme real sugar
I don’t wanna climb the walls.

Could the real sugar be a reference to the rolling stone’s brown sugar? Instead of brown sugar he wants the regular (white crystal) one??? Just a thought...

isn’t brown sugar a synonym for heroin?

I don’t think that Per is fond of drugs and of sugar either (look at his body... (-; )

I guess you guys are right, that guy in the song wants to get laid... *GG*

Hmm brown sugar can also refer to a ’black lady’ i guess......

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! White sugar! That’s comedy!

Sugar is another way of saying lovin’. He want’s it and h wants the real thing. He’s sweet on a girl but can’t bring himself to approach her so he ain’t the happiest.
