Get Out of Town
Escape Love's Bind: Ella Fitzgerald's Plea to Get Out of Town
Lyrics
Get out of town
Expressing a command to leave the current place or situation
Before it's too late, my love
Warning to leave before it becomes too late
Get out of town
Reiteration of the command to depart
Be good to me, please
Pleading for kindness and consideration
Why wish me harm?
Questioning why there is a desire for harm
Why not retire to a farm?
Suggesting a peaceful retreat, possibly to escape difficulties
And be contented to charm
Encouraging a serene life that captivates nature
The birds off the trees
Imagining a scenario where the person brings joy to the surroundings
Just disappear
Advising to vanish or withdraw
I care for you much too much
Expressing a strong emotional connection
And when you're near, close to me, dear
Highlighting the intimacy and closeness between the individuals
We touch too much
Noting that physical closeness may be excessive
The thrill when we meet is so bittersweet
Describing the emotional complexity of their meetings
That darling, it's getting me down
Expressing that the thrill is becoming burdensome
So on your mark, get set
Preparing for departure
Get out of town
Reiterating the need to leave the current situation
Just disappear
Repeating the advice to disappear or withdraw
I care for you much too much
Reaffirming a strong emotional connection
And when you're near, close to me, dear
Emphasizing the impact of proximity
We touch too much
Highlighting the issue of excessive physical contact
The thrill when we meet is so bittersweet
Revisiting the conflicting emotions in their encounters
That darling, it's getting me down
Stating that the emotional strain is becoming overwhelming
So on your mark, get set
Preparing for departure, reiterating the urgency
Get out of town
Final emphasis on the need to leave the current circumstances
