Put Me Down
Love's Last Plea: A Melodic Journey of Desires and Consequences
Lyrics
We locked eyes for the first time you told me to go away
The singer and the subject had an initial encounter where the subject asked the singer to leave.
Your friends say you hate me but those eyes say other things
Despite what the subject's friends say about their feelings toward the singer, their eyes suggest otherwise, indicating mixed signals.
Now I'm on this road headed for another day
The singer is moving forward in life, possibly metaphorically represented by a physical journey on a road.
Baby make up you mind before it drives me insane
The singer desires a decision from the subject regarding their relationship, as the uncertainty is causing emotional distress.
So why don't you take off all your makeup
Asking the subject to reveal their true self by removing any facade or pretense (symbolized by makeup).
Won't you put your pretty hair down
Encouraging the subject to let their guard down and be natural or authentic.
Can't we come together and make love
Expressing a desire for intimacy and reconciliation, suggesting coming together in love.
One more time before you put me down
The singer requests one last intimate moment before a potential breakup or rejection.
You know this love is like that cigarette buzz
Comparing the intensity and effect of their love to the temporary rush from smoking a cigarette.
It's short and sweet, but it's bad for me
Describing the love as brief and enjoyable but ultimately harmful or detrimental.
And I keep running back, every time just because

Despite the consequences I can't see
Expressing the inability to foresee the repercussions of continuing the relationship despite knowing they exist.
So why don't you take off all your makeup

Won't you put your pretty hair down

Can't we come together and make love
