I Ain't Gonna Stand for It
Love's Trust Tested: Unraveling the Intrigue in Eric Clapton's Melody
Lyrics
Don't wanna believe what they're telling me
Expressing reluctance to believe what others are saying
Somebody's been pickin' in my cherry tree
Suspecting someone of interfering with personal matters
Don't wanna mistrust nobody by mistake
Desiring not to doubt anyone unintentionally
But I hear tell someone's been diggin' round in my cake
Hearing rumors about someone meddling in personal affairs
And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
Declaring a refusal to tolerate a certain behavior
And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
Repeating the determination not to tolerate the behavior
And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
Continuing to assert the refusal to accept the situation
Nah-ah (nah-ah)
Expressing the refusal with emphasis
And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
Reiterating the resolve not to stand for the behavior
And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
Stating again the determination not to tolerate the behavior
I ain't gonna stand for it baby
Affirming the unwillingness to accept the situation
Nah-ah (nah-ah nah-ah) nah-ah (nah-ah nah-ah)
Emphasizing the refusal with vocalization
Don't wanna believe what somebody said
Expressing disbelief in rumors
But somebody said somebody's shoes was under my bed
Learning about suspicious activities through gossip
Don't wanna cause nobody no bodily harm
Declaring a lack of intention to harm anyone physically
But somebody's been rubbin' on my good luck charm
Discovering someone touching or interacting with a cherished possession
And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
Reiterating the refusal to tolerate the behavior
And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
Restating the determination not to stand for the behavior
I ain't gonna stand for it baby
Affirming the unwillingness to accept the situation
Nah-ah (nah-ah)
Emphasizing the refusal with vocalization
And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
Reiterating the resolve not to stand for the behavior
And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
Stating again the determination not to tolerate the behavior
I ain't gonna stand for it baby
Affirming the unwillingness to accept the situation
Nah-ah (nah-ah nah-ah) nah-ah (nah-ah nah-ah)
Emphasizing the refusal with vocalization
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, my, my, my, my, my, my
Vocalization expressing surprise or dismay
