Lyrics
When my left eye go to jumpin'
Feeling unsettled or anxious when the left eye twitches.
Oh, I don't know which way to go
Expressing confusion or uncertainty about the direction to take.
When my left eye go to jumpin'
Reiteration of the unsettling feeling associated with a twitching left eye.
And my flush begun to crawl
Physical discomfort, possibly indicating a sense of foreboding.
'Cause I know it's some other mule
Suggesting awareness of external factors causing distress.
Is kickin' in my stall
Metaphorically implies interference or competition in personal affairs.
I got a strange, strange feeling
Describing an unusual and strong emotional sensation.
Oh, I never felt like this before
Emphasizing the novelty of the emotional experience.
When my left eye get to jumpin'
Repetition of the left eye twitching, indicating ongoing distress.
Oh, I don't know which way to go
Reiterating the uncertainty and indecision caused by the twitching.
Look out I'm coming one way
Warning of an impending arrival or approach from one direction.
You know I feel like my baby
Suspecting that the speaker's partner possesses bad luck or negative influences.
Has got a black cat bone
Attributing troubles to a superstition like a black cat bone.
'Cause everything I do now
Implying that everything the speaker does is now known or anticipated by the partner.
She knows what's going on
Suggesting a heightened awareness or intuition in the partner.
I got a strange, strange feeling
Reiteration of the intense and unfamiliar emotional state.
Oh, oh, I never felt like this before
Expressing the unprecedented nature of the emotional turmoil.
When my left eye get to jumpin'
Repeating the theme of distress caused by the left eye twitching.
Oh, I don't know which way to go
Reiterating the confusion and indecision resulting from the twitching.
