A Fool For Your Stockings

The speaker describes someone who repeatedly leaves, says the relationship is over, and then returns. Although he sounds amused and accepting, he also admits he may not want to face how strongly he is drawn to this person. The mood is playful and indulgent, but there is a hint that he is being taken advantage of—or at least knows the arrangement is not ordinary.

“Banging on the front door” suggests an insistent return, while “coming back for more” implies the visitor wants to resume the relationship despite having said they had enough. Calling himself “a fool for your stockings” is a teasing way to say that the person’s appeal, or perhaps their sexual allure, makes him willing to overlook complications. His repeated claim that it is “alright” may be sincere, or a way of brushing aside doubts.

The reference to money and bringing girlfriends along gives the relationship a deliberately provocative, possibly non-exclusive quality. The line about “less than two” is especially ambiguous: it may hint at group intimacy, or simply express a preference for more company. The lyrics do not explain the arrangement in detail, so it is best to read the speaker as enjoying the situation while recognizing that desire may be clouding his judgment.
