I Don't Want to Mention Any Names
Protective Dilemma: An Unspoken Confrontation
Lyrics
I've got a story to tell, would you mind listening
I have a story to share, and I'm seeking your attention.
I can always count on you we're such good friends
I trust you as a reliable friend.
And I need to talk about my situation
I need to discuss a challenging situation I'm facing.
And you're the only one who'll understand
You're the only person I believe will comprehend.
Now someone's got designs on my baby
Someone is expressing romantic interest in my significant other.
He's making her intentions very plain
The person's intentions are clear and straightforward.
We both know this ole guy that I'm talking about
We both know the individual I'm referring to.
But I don't want to mention any names
I don't want to explicitly mention the person's name.
He's asked her to slow dance way too often
He has invited her to dance frequently, and I find it concerning.
He's made suggestions I don't like at all
He has made inappropriate suggestions that I disapprove of.
And I'm trying to let him know that
I'm attempting to convey to him that I am aware of his intentions.
I'm wise to his game, but I don't wanna mention any names
I don't want to mention his name explicitly despite being vigilant.
Well, I can understand why you'd want her
I comprehend why you may be attracted to her.
Oh, you've even said yourself she's quite a prize
You have acknowledged she is a valuable and desirable person.
He's about a good of friend as you are
The person causing concern is as good a friend as you are.
Come to think about it he's just about your size
In fact, he is very similar to you in many aspects.
And if he don't back off there's gonna be some trouble
If he doesn't stop, there may be confrontations or issues.
Now I'm prepared to make that very plain
I am making it clear that I am willing to take action.
And I hope I've said enough, and just between the two of us
I hope I've communicated enough, keeping it confidential.
'Cause I don't want to mention any names
I don't want to reveal the person's identity explicitly.
He's asked her to slow dance way too often
Reiteration of the person's persistent invitations to dance.
He's made suggestions I don't like at all
Reiteration of inappropriate suggestions made by the person.
And I'm trying to let him know that
Reiterating the attempt to make the person aware of being observed.
I'm wise to his game, but I don't wanna mention any names
Despite vigilance, I still avoid explicitly naming the person.
I'm trying to let him know that
Reiteration of the effort to make the person aware of being observed.
I'm wise to his game, but I don't wanna mention any names
Despite vigilance, I still avoid explicitly naming the person.
