Lyrics
Maybe I've changed but I don't worry
Expressing a possibility of personal change without concern.
You're not gonna bring me down
Asserting resilience against negative influences.
I used to cry, cry, cry
Referring to a past emotional state of frequent crying.
Now I don't remember why
Highlighting a current lack of memory about the reason for past tears.
I just never want to hear that sound
Expressing a desire to avoid a specific unpleasant sound.
You tell me this
Describing someone providing varying information or opinions.
You tell me that
Continuing the description of contradictory statements or advice.
It's what you give
Emphasizing the principle of receiving what one gives.
You're gonna get it back
Asserting the reciprocal nature of actions and consequences.
I've been the object of your affection
Acknowledging being the subject of someone's romantic interest.
I've been the target of your cruel intention
Recognizing being the target of someone's harmful intentions.
And I know just how you got that girl
Claiming understanding of how the person obtained their romantic partner.
I see you on the street with someone new, you talk sweet
Observing the person with a new partner and engaging in pleasant conversation.
You just walk, walk on by
Advising to pass by without reacting to the situation.
Staying out just about every night
Noting the person's frequent nights out without apparent commitment.
You just try, try, try
Encouraging perseverance despite challenges.
You tell me this
Repeating the theme of contradictory statements or advice.
You tell me that
Continuing the pattern of presenting inconsistent information.
It's what you give
Reiterating the principle of receiving consequences based on one's actions.
You're gonna get it back
Emphasizing the reciprocal nature of cause and effect.
I've been the object of your affection
Reaffirming being the subject of someone's romantic interest.
I've been the target of your cruel intention
Reiterating being the target of someone's harmful intentions.
And I know just how you got that girl
Affirming understanding of how the person obtained their romantic partner.
