Lyrics

I gave you houses, I gave you furs,

I provided you with houses and furs.

I gave you them before you had the first.

I gave these to you even before you experienced your first.

I gave you kisses, I stroked your fur,

I gave you affectionate gestures, I caressed your fur.

I love a woman now that you've had the first.

Now I am in love with another woman who is experiencing her first.

It's not you, I won't give you all.

It's not you; I won't give you everything.

It's not you, I won't give you all.

Reiteration that the speaker won't give everything to the person.

Get out of my face.

An expression of frustration, commanding the person to leave.

You took the houses, you took the furs.

You took away the houses and furs I provided.

You took another after you took the first.

You chose another person after experiencing your first.

You took my kisses, and those of fur,

You took my kisses and the affectionate gestures I made with fur.

Now I love a woman and it's the first.

Now I love a woman who is experiencing her first.

It's not you, I won't give you all.

Reiteration that the speaker won't give everything to the person.

It's not you, I won't give you all.

Continued emphasis on not giving everything to the person.

Get out of my face.

Repeat of the command for the person to leave the speaker's face.

Get out of my face.

Reiteration of the command for the person to leave.

Get out of my face, out of my face.

Strong insistence for the person to get out of the speaker's face.

(solo)

Solo musical interlude.

You know you have me to keep at will

A statement that the person has control over the speaker.

Whatever whets you fancy, whatever you will.

Whatever pleases the person, the speaker will provide.

Took what you want, took what you will.

The person took what they wanted and desired.

Take my schonker baby and drink your fill

A metaphorical expression, suggesting the person to take what they desire.

It's not you, I won't give you all.

Reiteration that the speaker won't give everything to the person.

It's not you, I won't give you all.

Continued emphasis on not giving everything to the person.

It's not you, I won't give you all.

Repetition emphasizing the speaker's unwillingness to give everything.

It's not you, I won't give you all.

Continued assertion that the person won't receive everything.

Get out of my face.

Repeat of the command for the person to leave the speaker's face.

Get out of my face.

Reiteration of the command for the person to leave.

Get out of my face, out of my face.

Strong insistence for the person to get out of the speaker's face.
