Lyrics
Forty has got you turning green
Forty has made you envious or sickly
You talk too loud and you run around all night
You are too talkative and engage in nighttime activities
You tell lies but your eyes don't show it
You speak untruths, but your eyes betray the deception
I've had enough and I think you know it
The speaker has reached a limit and believes you are aware of it
You better change your ways or I'll change my mind
You must change your behavior, or the speaker will reconsider the relationship
'Cause don't you know you could lose?
A warning that you are at risk of losing in a relationship
Yes, I said you could lose me
Emphasizes the possibility of losing the speaker
You could lose
Reiteration of the warning that you may lose the speaker
Yes, I said you could lose me
Reiterates the potential loss of the speaker
Lately, you dress to cause a scene
Your recent clothing choices seek attention and may cause disturbances
In a fashion race with a passive look on your face
You are participating in a competition of appearance with a passive demeanor
You shake you hips 'cause you like to show it
You flaunt your hips to attract attention
A little smile just to let them know it
A subtle smile to convey confidence or self-assurance
You better listen close to what I have to say
A plea to pay close attention to the speaker's words
'Cause don't you know you could lose?
Reiteration of the warning that losing the speaker is a possibility
And yes, I said you could lose me
Confirms the potential loss of the speaker
You could lose
Restates the warning of possible loss in the relationship
Yes, I said you could lose me
Emphasizes the risk of losing the speaker
Well, I think I told you that I want to hold you
The speaker desires to hold you but is unable to let you go
But I can't afford to let you walk away
The speaker cannot afford to lose you
'Cause my heart is aching, I can feel it breaking
The speaker's heart is in pain, feeling it break due to the love being taken away
From the love you're taking
Expresses the emotional toll of the love being taken
I'm not used to feeling like I do
The speaker is not accustomed to feeling this way
Anyway, every day after day
Regardless, each day passes, and the speaker is affected
Though you said you would stay
You promised to stay, but your actions are causing harm
Can't you see what you're doing to me?
An appeal for you to recognize the impact on the speaker
Don't you know you could lose?
Reiterates the warning of potential loss in the relationship
Yes, I said you could lose me
Affirms the possibility of losing the speaker
You could lose
Repeats the caution of potential loss
Don't you know you could lose me?
Emphasizes the risk of losing the speaker
Yes, I said, you could lose
Reiterates the warning of potential loss
Don't you know you could lose me?
Confirms the possibility of losing the speaker
You could lose
Restates the caution of potential loss
Don't you know you could lose me?
Emphasizes the risk of losing the speaker
Yes, I said, you could lose
Reiterates the warning of potential loss
Don't you know you could lose me?
Confirms the possibility of losing the speaker
You could lose
Restates the caution of potential loss
Don't you know you could lose me?
Emphasizes the risk of losing the speaker
