Lyrics
You never treat me gentle
You don't handle me delicately or kindly
Yet you spend up all of my gold
Despite mistreating me, you spend all my money
Then you look around for a young man
Then you seek out a younger man
Tell me I'm too old
You criticize me, claiming I'm too old
that's why we can't agree
This mistreatment and disagreements are why we cannot come to an understanding
Yeah, baby, we can't agree
Expressing the inability to reach an agreement or compromise
Now if I don't see you no more, baby
If the speaker doesn't encounter the person anymore, it would be preferable
It'll be way too soon for me
It would be too soon for the speaker to see the person again
you're known for being a lover
You have a reputation for being passionate
You like to holler loud
You tend to be vocally expressive, shouting loudly
One man for you ain't nothing
Having multiple partners means nothing to you
You talk so loud, you draw a crowd
Your loud behavior attracts attention from others
that's why we can't agree
These differences in behavior cause continuous disagreements
Yes, baby, we can't agree
Emphasizing the inability to find common ground
Now if I don't see you no more, baby
The speaker prefers not to encounter this person again
It'll be way too soon for me
It would be too soon for the speaker to meet them again
you're used to eating hot dogs
You're accustomed to simpler things, like hot dogs
When you go out to dine
When dining out, you prefer less sophisticated meals
I taught you what a steak was
The speaker introduced you to higher-quality food, but you're not appreciative
And now you've almost lost your mind
It's causing you to lose appreciation for finer things
that's why we can't agree
These differences in tastes and preferences lead to conflicts
Yes, baby, we can't agree
Reinforces the ongoing disagreement and lack of harmony
Now if I don't see you no more, baby
The speaker doesn't want further interaction
Honey, that'll be way too soon for me, you know it will
The speaker strongly prefers not seeing the person again soon
Now your clothes look like a sifter
Your clothing is so worn out that it resembles a sieve
Because they had so many holes
It has numerous holes due to excessive wear and tear
You know we both came from the ghetto, baby
Both individuals came from similar impoverished backgrounds
And everybody knows
Their shared background is well-known
We can't agree
Their disagreements stem from their differing backgrounds and current situations
Yes, baby, we can't agree
Emphasizes the continued lack of agreement
Now if I don't see you, no more, little woman
The speaker wishes to avoid further encounters
Honey, it'll be way too soon for me, yes, it will
Seeing the person again soon is undesirable for the speaker
