Mellow Mama Blues
Mellow Mama's Secrets: Love, Whiskey, and a Crooked Man
Lyrics
Well, I know my days are numbered
Recognizing that her time is limited or numbered
And I know I'm livin' fast
Acknowledging a fast-paced and possibly reckless lifestyle
I've got a mellow man who loves me
Expressing the presence of a calm and affectionate partner
And mellow whiskey in my glass
Having mellow whiskey in her glass, suggesting a relaxed state
So I'll just stick around
Deciding to stay and endure the passage of time
And wait for the time to pass
Waiting patiently for events to unfold
Yes, I know I'm not good lookin'
Admitting she may not be conventionally attractive
But I'll put you in your place
Asserting her ability to assert dominance or control
No, I know I'm not good lookin'
Repeating acknowledgment of her appearance but confident in her demeanor
But I'll put you in your place
Reiterating the potential to put others in their place
You can't tell me what I'm likin'
Rejecting judgments based solely on physical appearance
By just lookin' at my face
Emphasizing that preferences and desires are not evident from looks alone
I've got a secret way of lovin'
Claiming a unique and undisclosed approach to love
And I own the copyright
Stating ownership of a distinctive method of loving
I'm gonna put it on the market
Intending to commercialize her exclusive way of love
And do all my business right
Committing to conducting her romantic affairs ethically
I know my man is crooked
Acknowledging imperfections in her partner
And I know my whiskey's straight
Recognizing the straightforward nature of her choice in whiskey
And I know that man can send me
Suggesting her partner can be deceitful or cunning
For he feels just like a snake
Comparing her partner to a snake, implying danger or cunning behavior
Yes, I'll thrill you, baby
Committing to providing excitement or pleasure to her partner
I can really satisfy your soul
Expressing the ability to deeply satisfy someone's soul
Yes, I'll really thrill you, baby
Reaffirming the capability to thrill and satisfy emotionally
I can satisfy your soul
Claiming a unique and undisclosed method of love satisfaction
I've got a secret way of lovin'
Reiterating ownership of a secret way of loving
And it never has been told
Emphasizing the exclusivity and mystery of her approach to love
