Sweet Little Lisa
Golden Rule of Love: Sweet Little Lisa's Journey
Lyrics
Well the work whistle blew about a half past five o'clock.
Describing the end of a workday as signaled by a whistle at 5 o'clock.
I saw the red light on the corner, man I never tried to stop.
Ignoring a traffic signal, possibly in a rush.
Got pulled over by a man in blue.
Stopped by a police officer.
He said "What the hell you tryin'a do?"
Questioned by the officer about his actions.
I told him 'bout my baby, he let me go, thanks a lot.
Explaining to the officer about his urgency due to his baby; officer lets him go.
Got invited to a party at a high school Hollywood pool.
Invited to a party at a Hollywood pool.
There were women all around me, man I began to drool.
Surrounded by women, feeling excited.
I weighed the evidence at hand,
Considering the situation.
I said "Girls you gotta understand,
Telling the women about living by the Golden Rule since meeting his baby.
Since I met my baby I've been livin' by the Golden Rule."
Emphasizing his commitment to a principled life.
Aw, there ain't nobody gonna make me shout.
Expressing confidence and determination not to be influenced negatively.
Ain't nobody gonna put me out.
Asserting independence and resilience.
Ain't nobody gonna make me do
Declaring resistance to doing anything against his will.
Like my sweet little Lisa does.
Highlighting the positive influence of his sweetheart, Lisa.
Ain't nobody gonna make me sing.
Reiterating his resistance to external pressure on his actions.
Make me do the wrong damn thing.
Refusing to engage in wrongdoing.
I'm sinking my head in a cold cold stream
Metaphorically expressing emotional distress.
Like my sweet little Lisa do.
Attributing the distress to the absence of his sweetheart, Lisa.
I was hauling out of Dallas, got pulled over by a debutante.
Getting stopped by a debutante while leaving Dallas.
She was playing with her gearshift, I was being kinda nonchalant.
Flirting or engaging in playful behavior with the debutante.
Said she'd take me up to her room,
The debutante suggesting intimacy by inviting him to her room.
Keep me following with the Lorna Doones.
Referencing a brand of cookies, possibly implying innocence.
I got a sweet sugar mama gonna give me everything I want.
Expressing contentment with a sugar mama providing everything he desires.
'Cause ain't nobody gonna make me shout.
Repeating the determination not to be swayed or influenced.
Ain't nobody gonna put me out.
Asserting resilience and determination.
Ain't nobody gonna make me do
Reiterating the positive influence of Lisa on his actions.
Like my sweet little Lisa does.
Highlighting the impact of Lisa on his behavior.
Ain't nobody gonna make me sing.
Emphasizing resistance to outside pressures.
Make me do the wrong damn thing.
Rejecting engagement in wrongful actions.
I'm sinking my head in a cold cold stream
Metaphorically expressing emotional distress.
Like my sweet little Lisa do.
Attributing emotional distress to the absence of his sweetheart, Lisa.
