I'll Be Hard to Handle
Unruly Vows: A Rebellious Promise in Song
Lyrics
I'll be hard to handle
I'll be challenging to deal with
I promise you that
I assure you of that
And if you complain here's one little Jane who'll leave you flat
If you express dissatisfaction, Jane will leave abruptly
I'll be hard to handle
Reiterating the difficulty in handling
What else can I be?
Expressing a sense of inevitability in being difficult
I say with a shrug
Indicating a lack of concern with a shrug
I think you're a mug to marry me
Referring to the partner as a fool for marrying
When you first threw me a gander
Recalling an initial attraction or interest
I was willing to philander
Being open to casual romantic relationships
But I never thought I'd have to be a bride
Unexpectedly finding oneself in a marriage
Now you're gonna find tough sledding
Anticipating challenges ahead
I don't want no shotgun wedding
Rejecting the idea of a forced or hasty wedding
I was only along for the ride
Expressing a lack of serious commitment initially
I'll be hard to handle
Reiterating the challenging nature
I'm telling you plain
Emphasizing the difficulty straightforwardly
So just be a dear and scram out of here
Requesting the partner to leave
I'm gonna raise Cain
Predicting disruptive behavior or chaos
I'll be hard to handle
Stating the challenging nature again
My bridges are burned
Metaphorically burning bridges, implying irreversibility
This wedding's a gag and you're in the bag
Describing the wedding as a joke and the partner as caught
Where I'm concerned
Expressing a lack of concern for the partner's feelings
I'll be hard to handle
Repeating the challenging stance after the marriage ceremony
When we've said I do
Highlighting the lack of hope in the marriage
See there's no hope, I just got a dope
Referring to the partner as a fool or naive
When I took you
Expressing regret for choosing the partner
I'll be living my life in bed
Anticipating a life of celibacy or lack of intimacy
But they always will be twin beds
Emphasizing physical distance in the relationship
And I warn you
Issuing a warning about the challenges ahead
You'll be living like a monk
Predicting a monastic or austere lifestyle for the partner
Our affair is now a past one
Declaring the end of the romantic involvement
So don't think you pulled a fast one
Rejecting the idea of being deceived or tricked
Just remember
Advising the partner to remember the challenging nature
I think you're a punk!I'll be hard to handle
Reiterating a negative opinion of the partner
I'm no ball and chain
Denying being a burden or constraint
I'll find some means to call the marines
Threatening to involve outside help or authorities
I'm gonna raise Cain
Repeating the prediction of causing chaos
I'm gonna raise Cain
Reaffirming the intention to cause disruption
I'm gonna raise Cain
Reiterating the commitment to causing chaos
