Boy What Love Has Done To Me
Love's Quirks: A Melodic Tale of Endearing Chaos
Lyrics
I fetch his slippers, fill up the pipe he smokes
I attend to his needs, providing comfort and familiarity
I cook the kippers, laugh at his oldest jokes
I perform domestic tasks and appreciate his sense of humor
Yet here I anchor, I might have had a banker
Despite my efforts, I am stuck in a situation I could have avoided
Boy! what love has done to me
Expressing the transformative impact of love on the speaker
His nature's funny, quarrelsome half the time
Describing his unpredictable and argumentative nature
And as for money, he hasn't got a dime
Highlighting his lack of financial stability
And here's the joker, I might have had a broker
Reflecting on a missed opportunity for a wealthier partner
Boy! what love has done to me
Reiterating the profound changes love has brought
When a guy looks my way
Exploring how others react when they notice the speaker
Does he get emphatic, say he gets dramatic?
Wondering if his attention is passionate or dramatic
I just want to fly 'way
Expressing a desire to escape the current situation
But if I left him I'd be all at sea
Fearing the uncertainty that leaving would bring
I'm just a slavey, life is a funny thing
Describing a sense of servitude in her relationship
He's got the gravy, I got a wedding ring
Noting the unequal distribution of benefits in the relationship
And still I love him, there's nobody above him
Despite challenges, expressing enduring love for him
Boy! what love has done to me
Reaffirming the profound impact of love on the speaker
His brains are minus,
Criticizing his lack of intelligence
Never a thought in sight
Emphasizing his intellectual shortcomings
And yet his highness
Describing his arrogant and condescending behavior
Lectures me day and night;
Complaining about constant lecturing from him
Oh where was my sense
Regretting the decision to marry him
To sign that wedding license?
Expressing remorse over signing the marriage license
Boy! What love has done to me!
Reiterating the transformative power of love, despite negative consequences
My life he's wrecking, bet you could find him now
Accusing him of ruining her life, possibly through infidelity
Out somewhere necking somebody else's frau
Suggesting he may be unfaithful with another woman
You get to know life when married to a low life
Reflecting on the harsh realities of married life with a problematic partner
Boy! what love has done to me
Reemphasizing the significant impact of love on the speaker
I can't hold my head up
Expressing a loss of self-esteem in the relationship
The butcher, the baker, oh no he's a faker
Disparaging his character, comparing him to fake professions
Brother I am fed up
Declaring frustration and dissatisfaction
But if I left him he'd be up a tree
Fearing negative consequences if she were to leave
Where will it wind up, I don't know where I'm at
Expressing uncertainty about the future
I make my mind up, I oughta leave him flat
Contemplating the decision to end the relationship
But I have grown so, I love that dirty so-and-so
Acknowledging personal growth despite the difficulties
Boy! what love has done to me.
Reaffirming the profound impact of love on the speaker's life
