Song meaning of Do I Wanna Know? by Arctic Monkeys

Oh boy, Do I Wanna Know? by Arctic Monkeys is the perfect example of a song that makes you wonder what in the world is going on in someone's mind. Is it a desperate cry for attention or a regretful plea for forgiveness after a drunken night out? The singer is basically admitting that he's addicted to a tune that reminds him of someone he's obsessed with, to the point where he spills drinks all over his settee. The chorus is just as confusing, with the singer crawling back to someone while asking if they want him to crawl back to them. What's even more hilarious is the line "maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new", as if being someone's property is a valid excuse for not being able to move on. In short, Do I Wanna Know? is a quirky, sarcastic take on modern relationships that will leave you scratching your head, but also tapping your feet.
