Lyrics
Got a strange situation
Expressing awareness of an unusual or problematic situation.
I think that something's going down
Suspecting that something negative is happening.
I hear it being whispered
Hearing rumors or gossip about the situation.
The rumour's out all over town
The rumors are widespread and known by the community.
You see I got a little lady
Acknowledging a troubled relationship with a significant other.
Who I ain't been treatin' right
Admitting to mistreatment of the partner.
It's a crime the way I'm acting
Describing the severity of the negative behavior.
I've been staying out all night
Admitting to staying out late and being unfaithful.
If it's not too late
Expressing a desire for redemption or change in destiny.
Try and change my fate
Seeking a chance to alter the course of events.
All I need is you to stay with me
Pleading for the partner to stay in the relationship.
Now my drink is almost empty
Indicating the imminent end of a social gathering.
And I'll soon be on my way
Preparing to leave and suggesting the need for a serious conversation.
We have to talk about it
Stressing the urgency of discussing the relationship issue.
It can't wait another day
Highlighting the importance of addressing the problem soon.
But I think that things are changing
Sensing a change in the partner's feelings or behavior.
By the way she looks at me
Observing subtle cues in the partner's demeanor.
She keeps it all inside her
Noting the partner's emotional turmoil kept hidden.
And she thinks that I can't see
Believing that the partner is unaware of being observed.
I was walking in the rain
Recounting a moment of personal distress.
When I came upon the scene
Discovering a situation or revelation.
She was kissing him goodnight
Witnessing an intimate moment between the partner and another person.
And I knew where she had been
Realizing the partner's unfaithfulness.
It changed my life completely
Reflecting on the profound impact of the revelation.
And ever since that day
Experiencing a lasting change in perspective or outlook.
You won't keep me close enough
Desiring emotional distance to avoid further pain.
To hurt me in that way
Setting boundaries to prevent future emotional harm.
'Cause when I saw you with that other guy
Expressing the emotional pain caused by the partner's betrayal.
You know it hurt me so down deep inside
Reiterating the deep emotional impact of the partner's actions.
You'll never deceive me again
Declaring a firm resolve not to be deceived again.
'Cause when I saw you with that other guy
Repeating the emotional hurt caused by the partner's actions.
You know you hurt me so down deep inside
Affirming a determination not to be deceived again.
You'll never deceive me again
Reinforcing the commitment to avoiding future deception.
