It's All Over Now
Love's Undoing: It's All Over Now
Lyrics
Well, baby used to stay out all night long
Expressing that the narrator's partner used to stay out late at night.
She made me cry, she done me wrong
Describing emotional pain caused by the partner's actions.
She hurt my eyes open, that's no lie
Highlighting the emotional distress caused by the partner, possibly through deceit.
Tables turn and now her turn to cry
Indicating a reversal of fortune, with the partner now experiencing the same pain.
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now (2x)
Reflecting on the past love for the partner but acknowledging that it's now over.
Well, she used to run around with every man in town
Revealing the partner's unfaithful behavior with multiple men in the town.
She spent all my money, playing her high class game
Describing the financial impact of the partner's actions, playing a high-class lifestyle.
She put me out, it was a pity how I cried
Expressing the narrator being cast out and the emotional pain experienced.
Tables turn and now her turn to cry
Reiterating the reversal of fortune, with the partner now facing the consequences.
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now (2x)
Repeating the acknowledgment of the end of love for the partner.
Well, I used to walk in the morning, get my breakfast in bed
Recalling a time when the relationship was more nurturing and supportive.
When I'd gotten worried she'd ease my aching head
Describing the partner's role in comforting the narrator in times of worry.
But now she's here and there, with every man in town
Indicating the partner's current unfaithful behavior with other men.
Still trying to take me for that same old clown
Expressing frustration at the partner's continued attempts to deceive the narrator.
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now (4x)
Finalizing the declaration that the narrator's love for the partner is completely over.
