Pushin' a Good Thing Too Far
Pushin' Love's Limits: Barbara Lewis Unveils the Art of Risk
Lyrics
From the beginnin', you've been winnin'
Expressing that since the start, you have been successful or ahead.
I've been givin' in to you
Describing a pattern of yielding or giving in to the other person.
I'm at the point of no return, I'm burnin'
Indicating reaching a critical point with no option to turn back and feeling intense emotions.
But it's time you learned a thing or 2
Suggesting it's time for the other person to gain knowledge or understanding.
You're pushin' a good thing
Stating that the person is pushing a positive situation.
You're pushin' a good thing
Reiterating the point that the person is pushing something good.
You're pushin' a good thing too far
Emphasizing that the person is taking a positive thing too far.
It's like a slap across my face
Comparing the action to being physically struck, causing embarrassment.
Or cheek & every place disgracin' me
Describing the feeling of disgrace in various places due to the other person's actions.
Now everybody's talkin' 'bout it
Highlighting that others are discussing the situation and advising a separation.
They say I should walk right out on you, they see
People witnessing the behavior suggest leaving the relationship.
You're pushin' a good thing
Repeating that the person is pushing something positive.
You're pushin' a good thing
Reiterating the previous statement about pushing a positive thing.
You're pushin' a good thing too far
Reemphasizing that the positive situation is being taken too far.
(Low so feelin' you're mad, come on & kiss me)
Suggesting a feeling of anger or frustration and inviting physical intimacy.
Better listen good to what I'm sayin'
Urging to pay attention to the message being conveyed.
No more kissin' till you stop playin' games
Declaring no more affection until games or manipulation stops.
(Baby I love you)
Responding to a claim of love but setting a boundary against mistreatment.
If you do, then don't you abuse me
Warning against mistreatment to avoid losing the person.
Or you will lose me, ah
Reiterating the risk of losing the relationship due to mistreatment.
You're pushin' a good thing
Repeating the assertion that a positive situation is being pushed too far.
You're pushin' a good thing
Reemphasizing the previous statement regarding the overextension of a positive thing.
You're pushin' a good thing too far
Reiterating that the positive situation is being taken too far.
So keep on pushin', come on, come on come on
Encouraging the continuation of the pushing behavior.
Keep on pushin', oh I want you to keep pushin'
Repeated encouragement for the other person to continue pushing.
Come on
Encouraging the person to continue their actions.
