Keep My Name Out Your Mouth
Love's Battle: Defying Doubts in the Rhythm of Claudia Liz
Lyrics
Your momma don't like me
Your mother disapproves of me
Your sisters don't approve
Your sisters do not endorse our relationship
But they don't know our love
Despite their opinions, they lack understanding of our love
Oh what's a girl to do? (do)
Expressing a sense of helplessness in the face of disapproval
I'm begging you please
Pleading for consideration and understanding
Keep my name up out your mouth
Requesting to avoid negative talk or gossip about the speaker
Your pops won't look at me
Your father avoids acknowledging the speaker
Your brother said I'm bad news
Your brother believes the speaker is problematic
And out of everyone
Despite opinions, the speaker finds acceptance from your grandmother
Your abuelitas cool
Highlighting the contrast in family opinions
I'm begging you please
Requesting again to refrain from speaking negatively about the speaker
Keep my name up out your mouth
Emphasizing the importance of not gossiping about the speaker
I told them before
Previous attempts were made to address the disapproval
That we'll never give up
Commitment to not giving up on the relationship
You're not lonely no more
Assurance that the partner is no longer lonely
And we're so in love
Expressing deep love and commitment
In love
Reiteration of being in love
Baby let them know
Encouraging the partner to communicate commitment to others
That you'll never let me go
Reiterating the plea to avoid negative talk about the speaker
Keep my name up out your mouth
Emphasizing the importance of not involving the speaker's name in gossip
And our relationship
Describing the relationship as generally smooth, except for family issues
Is otherwise so smooth
Expressing confusion about how to handle family disapproval
It's just your family
Pinpointing family as the main source of difficulty
I don't know what to do (do)
Reiterating the plea to keep the speaker's name out of conversations
You gotta let them know
Encouraging the partner to communicate the importance of the relationship
Keep my name up out your mouth
Repetition of the plea to avoid negative talk about the speaker
I told them before
Recalling previous attempts to address family disapproval
That we'll never give up
Reaffirming the commitment to persist in the relationship
You're not lonely no more
Reassurance that the partner is no longer isolated
And we're so in love
Expressing the enduring nature of love
In love
Reiteration of being deeply in love
Baby let them know
Encouraging the partner to convey unwavering commitment to others
That you'll never let me go
Repeating the plea to refrain from letting go of the speaker
Keep my name up out your mouth
Final emphasis on not involving the speaker's name in negative discussions
