Lyrics
I want you to stop right there, baby
Requesting the person to pause
Baby, and try to understand
Asking for understanding
Hey, I might have been your fool for a while, baby
Admitting to being fooled previously
But I know I'm a good loving man
Asserting one's identity as a good lover
And you shouldn't lie to me, baby
Warning against lying
Makes me mad as a man can be
Expressing extreme anger
I know when you got home last night
Knowing about the person's arrival home the previous night
Your kissing me was your plan
Realizing the intention behind being kissed
I know you were just faking me, baby
Accusing the person of deception
'Cause you'd been out with your other man
Implying the person was with someone else
And you shouldn't lie to me, baby
Reiterating the warning against lying
Makes me mad as a man can be
Re-emphasizing the intense anger
Hey, I can't quit you, baby
Expressing inability to leave despite the situation
'Cause you're honey but the bees don't know
Metaphorically referring to the person's attractiveness
There's one thing I got to tell you, little girl
Preparing to convey an important message
Just one thing before I go
Indicating an impending departure
That is you shouldn't lie to me, baby
Repeating the warning against lying
Makes me mad as a man can be
Reiterating the intense anger caused by lying
