The Greatest Human Ever | Reviewer: Arif | 7/11/11

I think what makes all music of tracy chapman is the deepness of its concept,her music always describe our feelings and our experiences perfectly, fear, love,sadness,lost happiness,joy or pain; wahtever u feel, u can find yourself in one of her songs. I don't overdo if i said that one of my greatest dreams ever is to meet her, till I die I'll be waiting this dream comes true, I love Tracy and I believe u're irrepeatable. One day if I would like to marry,I'm gonna marry one of your fans. Kisses from Sudan!

This is a simple song | Reviewer: Betlowa | 9/6/10

Why dig too deep? the song is simple.
The guy likes tracy, But she doesnt. She wants him so bad she asks him out on dates etc, kisses him, etc. The guy says she is a saint of mercy, a whore and a lot of thngs. but never said she is his.
simple enough!

Whore | Reviewer: Shimona | 12/18/08

I think it's a bout a woman in her 30's, who has fallen in love with an extrodinary woman. The one she loves is busy and involved, and she sits and write this remembering how her parents had tried to set her up with most imporatntly a man, the reference to clothes shows an attempt to gender their daughter.

Moving.. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/14/08

I think that this is about black women in the past and how in order to pay off their family's debts, would have an arranged marriage with a wealthy man. This man would then use her for his own entertainment.. and so she says, "I've been a lot of things[for you], but never yours[my heart you cannot take.]"

My thoughts follow-up | Reviewer: Geraldine Mckavanagh | 9/29/07

You never cross my mind
You can be sure
You´ll never catch my eye
Waiting for you watching the door

I think we can decipher from this she doesn't like the person.

My thoughts | Reviewer: Geraldine Mckavanagh | 9/29/07

It's interesting, I always saw this song as a guy liking her (Tracy Chapman) and TC wasn't interested but then the line "I laugh at all your jokes but you look bored" shows she may be making an effort. So... IS this guy a girl? Maybe she loved her and it just didn't work out but the way I have always seen this song and what I imagine when I hear it is a straight guy asking TC out and TC saying no because she's not interested in guys.

So sad | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/19/07

I think this is about a young girl whose parents lost some sort of "bet" and used her as payment. It's very sad that these kinds of situations exists in the world.

"I'm just a little girl and I've already seen the ugliness of humanity way before my time."

"My parents made me go out with you so I'm just playing along."

"You're a nobody to me and I can't wait to get out of here. I'll let you do whatever you want to me but my soul belongs to me... not you."

"I'll sleep with you because that's what my parents owe you when they lost whatever bet it was... but my soul belongs to me... not you."

"I'm just a kid. I shouldn't be in these kinds of situations but I guess this is reality. Am I a savior of my family for what they owe? Or Am I just a whore? Whatever it is, my soul belongs to me... not you."

I'm not so sure | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/12/07

I disagree with you all. She doesn't WANT to be his. "I let you hold me and dry lip kiss me" Doesn't sound like she wanted to be held or kissed. "I repay my Family's debt..." ...I don't know...It's sad, that's for sure, but not because she can't get the guy.
