Won't be your baby won't be your friend
Refusing to be someone's baby or friend.
Won't be your means won't be your end
Rejecting the role as both a means and an end in someone's life.
Won't be the object of your advice
Declining to be the subject of someone's advice.
Won't be the one to be twice as nice
Not willing to be excessively nice or accommodating.
You're wrong you're right
Contrasting opinions on a matter, perhaps a relationship.
You're wrong you're right my firefly
Reaffirming the conflicting nature of the relationship, calling the person a "firefly."
Won't eat your cooking won't pour your drink

Won't do the dishes in your kitchen sink

Might spend your money might steal the sheets

Gonna want to be the one to play this week by week
Desiring to be the one who plays in the relationship dynamically, taking it week by week.
You're wrong you're right
Reiterating the conflicting nature of opinions within the relationship.
You're wrong you're right my firefly
Affirming the contradictory nature of the relationship, again referring to the person as a "firefly."
I won't be long
Stating that the involvement won't be long-lasting.
I won't belong
Expressing a lack of belonging in the relationship.
You're wrong you're right
Repeating the conflicting nature of opinions within the relationship.
You're wrong you're right my firefly
Reaffirming the contradictory nature of the relationship with the term "firefly."
I won't be long

I won't belong
