Lyrics:

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles and wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow I want more

I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
Doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full and my door's always open
You come anytime you want, yeah.

I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

I know where you hide alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain.
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye

I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Please don't try so hard to say goodbye


Interpretation:
Beauty queen of only eighteen she
Had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her, she
Always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles and wound up
At your door
I've had you so many times but somehow I want more

This is about a guy who is in love with his friend but she sees him as just a friend.
He is always there when she needs a friend, but her heart was never his.
He has been with others but he was forever searching for someone like her.
He likes to spend time with her everyday, every hour but it is still not enough,
basically he wants to get out of the friendzone.
I don't mind spendin' everyday
Out on your corner in the pourin' rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved, and she will be loved

He wants to be there when she falls to catch her despite the fact that he knows well he's going to get hurt more. He does not want her to spend time on the other person but wants he to see him like the way she sees the other person. Whenever she needs him he knows that she is broken, hence the broken smile. He lets her to be with him till she is fine, knowing well that she may leave anytime.
He just truly likes her.



The movie Sex Drive depicts a similar story.


Tap on my window, knock on my door, I
Want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along yeah
My heart is full, and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want yeah


I know where you hide alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Please don't try so hard to say goodbye 


He is always receiving her and is there for her even in the middle of the night.
Making her feel good is his goal. Even though he is sad and dreads the feeling of she
not being his, it is better than being without her in his life. Compromising every
day and making time for her gives him a sense of purpose in the log run. Whenever she
runs to him hurt, he is always there in open arms to receive her and comfort her. 


Knowing her completely the way she reacts to various scenarios  of life, he has no trouble
finding her and bringing her what she needs. Even though she tries to be by herself and not be too dependent on him, she fails each time and comes back to him.

He secretly wants her to say goodbye to the other person and come with him, but he
never tells her that as he has put her feelings above his.
