Deirdre

The trouble you had
It wasn’t so bad
It’s only life and what you’re livin’ for

Sit down right here
I’ll send away your tears
Well we don’t have to talk about it much more

Good things turn bad but it’s over now
So don’t look sad ’cause you’re older now
Lots of people miss Deirdre

You’re back again
You still have all your friends
And they used to ask me why’d you go away Deirdre

Oo hoo hooo

What could I say
That you ran away
Don’t you think it’s time that you stayed right near me

These nights, pretty nights, that were meant to be
With you and me
It’s the way that we
Always had our love, Deirdre

I love your red hair

Deirdre
Do do do do do do
Dear dear dear Deirdre
I’m glad you’re home again
Oo ooo ooo

Ooo hoooo
Oooo hoooo
Baby 1 2 3 and you’re back with me

Ooo hooo

Tomorrow at ten
I’ll wake you and then
We’ll take a bath and then I’ll laugh again with Deirdre

You may not live with me every day
All that I care is that we find a way
To stay together with Deirdre

Deirdre
Do do do do do do
Dear dear dear Deirdre

Ooo do do do do do do
Ooo do do do do do do

The lyrics to Deirdre are just the words, phrases, verses and chorus that Beach Boys used when the song was created in 1970. The lyrics to Deirdre have both easy-to-spot meanings and hidden metaphors that have been discussed by the music press and fans, but only Beach Boys and any collaborators know all of the inspirations for the song.

If you like etymology or breaking apart phrases and words, it is easy to understand the lyrics to Deirdre by Beach Boys. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Deirdre" means the words set to the music of Deirdre, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Beach Boys. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Deirdre and the lyrics to Deirdre are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Beach Boys who came here looking just for the lyrics to Deirdre, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
