Undecided
Love's Quandary: Deciphering Chick Webb & His Orchestra's Undecided
Lyrics
First you say you do
Expressing a positive affirmation initially
And then you don't
Contradicting the initial affirmation
And then you say you will
Another positive affirmation following the contradiction
And then you won't
Yet another contradiction following the affirmation
You're undecided now
Currently in a state of indecision
So what are you gonna do?
Asking about the plan of action due to indecision
Now you want to play
Expressing desire to engage in an activity
And then it's no
Changing the mind about the desired activity
And when you say you'll stay
Assuring to remain, but there's a subsequent departure
That's when you go
Leaving after the assurance to stay
You're undecided now
Reiterating the current state of indecision
So what are you gonna do?
Repeating the question regarding a decision
I've been sitting on a fence
Metaphorically describing being in an uncertain situation
And it doesn't make much sense
Expressing confusion and lack of clarity in the situation
'Cause you keep me in suspense
Being kept in a state of anticipation or uncertainty
And you know it
Acknowledging the deliberate act of causing uncertainty
Then you promise to return
Assurance of return followed by not fulfilling the promise
When you don't
Resulting in emotional pain due to unfulfilled assurance
I really burn
Feeling emotional distress due to the unfulfilled promise
Well, I guess I'll never learn
Realizing the difficulty in understanding the situation
And I show it
Expressing emotions openly
If you've got a heart
Asking the listener to consider feelings
And if you're kind
Encouraging kindness in decision-making
Then don't keep us apart
Requesting to resolve the indecision and be together
Make up your mind
Urging a decision to end uncertainty and unite
You're undecided now
Reiterating the current state of indecision
So what are you gonna do?
Repeating the inquiry about future actions due to indecision
