It's Nothing to Me
Jealous Ties Unraveled: A Song's Dark Twist
Lyrics
Take your drink
Referring to taking one's drink.
To the end of the bar buddy
Suggesting moving away from a problematic situation to the far end of the bar.
Let her stay there
Advising someone to leave a certain person alone.
Now don't be a fool
Cautioning against making a foolish decision.
I'd as soon have a hot seat in Sing-Sing prison
Expressing a preference for being in a difficult situation rather than being near a specific person.
Than to sit down by her on that stool
Indicating a strong aversion to being near that individual.
What's that you say
Inquiring about what the other person is saying.
I guess you're right
Agreeing with the other person's perspective.
It's nothing to me
Expressing indifference or lack of concern regarding the situation.
See that man
Pointing out another man who is associated with a certain woman.
She belongs to him buddy
Suggesting to finish drinking and leave to avoid trouble.
Better drink up and go while you can
Warning about the possessiveness or protectiveness of the man associated with the woman.
I can tell by the way he looks at you buddy
Interpreting the man's looks as indicating potential danger due to jealousy.
That he's sure a quick-tempered jealous man
Describing the man as easily provoked and possessive.
What's that you say
Inquiring again about what the other person is saying.
I guess you're right
Agreeing again with the other person's viewpoint.
It's nothing to me
Reiterating indifference or lack of concern.
There you are
Pointing out the consequences of not heeding the advice previously given.
Stretched out on the floor buddy
Describing the aftermath of an altercation, where someone is on the floor.
Now you see what you made me do
Attributing the situation to the other person's actions.
Here they come to take me off
Predicting the arrival of consequences (being taken to jail) due to the altercation.
To jail buddy
Stating the impending fate of being taken to jail.
And tomorrow someone will bury you
Predicting the demise of the other person due to the altercation.
What's that you said
Asking again about what was said.
I guess you were right
Agreeing retrospectively with the other person's assessment.
Its nothing to me
Reiterating indifference or lack of concern towards the unfolding events.
