Lyrics
There you go getting under my skin again
Expressing frustration or annoyance with someone re-entering their life in a bothersome way.
And I don’t want to start to pretend
Not willing to fake or pretend about the situation.
There you are kicking through my damn door again
Describing the person's intrusive presence, breaking into the speaker's personal space.
And I don’t want to be your friend
Rejecting the idea of forming a friendly connection with the person.
Cause I don’t want to love, cause I don’t want to cry
Expressing a reluctance to love and cry, suggesting a desire to avoid emotional pain.
Don’t want to rip my soul out from deep down inside
Rejecting the idea of tearing one's soul apart due to emotional turmoil.
Don’t want to crawl under my rock and die
Not wanting to retreat into isolation or despair.
I want to live, I want to live, want to live my own life
Expressing a strong desire to live life independently and on their terms.
There you are in that old dress again
Not succumbing to the allure of the person, represented by an old dress.
But I’m not going to fall for it
Committing to resist falling for any manipulative tactics.
There you go saying those lines once again
Addressing the repetition of deceptive lines from the person.
But I am not going to believe them, no
Refusing to believe or be deceived by the person's words.
Cause I don’t want to love, cause I don’t want to cry
Reiterating a reluctance to engage in love and the associated emotional pain.
Don’t want to rip my soul out from deep down inside
Declining to undergo emotional turmoil that could affect the speaker's inner self.
Not going to crawl under my rock and die
Rejecting the idea of succumbing to despair and withdrawing from life.
I want to live, I want to live, want to live my own life
Expressing a strong desire to live life independently and on their terms.
And when you ask me just how I’ve been
When questioned about well-being, old emotions resurface.
Those old feelings start come again
Re-experiencing past feelings as a result of the person's inquiry.
I’ve moved on my new life’s begun
Claiming to have moved on and started a new phase in life.
Cause I don’t want to love, cause I don’t want to cry
Reiterating a reluctance to engage in love and the associated emotional pain.
Don’t want to rip my soul out from deep down inside
Declining to undergo emotional turmoil that could affect the speaker's inner self.
Don’t want to crawl under my rock and die
Rejecting the idea of succumbing to despair and withdrawing from life.
I want to live, I want to live, want to live my own life
Expressing a strong desire to live life independently and on their terms.
There you go getting under my skin again
Repeating the frustration with someone intruding into their life.
Getting under my skin again
Emphasizing the recurrence of the person getting under the speaker's skin.
Getting under my skin again
Highlighting the persistent annoyance of the person's intrusive presence.
