Big Mouth
Big Mouth's Betrayal: Love Unraveled in Fats Domino's Melody
Lyrics
News is out all over town big mouth
News about a rumor or gossip has spread widely in the town, and someone is being referred to as a "big mouth."
You standing over there
The person being addressed is standing at a distance.
Like you don't know what it's all about
The person seems unaware or indifferent to the situation and its significance.
You put my business everywhere
Accusation that the person has been sharing private information about the speaker with others.
You got me pullin' out my my hair big mouth
The speaker is frustrated and stressed, expressed metaphorically as pulling out their hair.
News is out all over town big mouth
Reiteration of the widespread news or gossip and the negative impact it has had.
Now you standing over there
Similar to line 2, the person is still distant or seemingly detached from the situation.
Like you don't know what it's all about
Continuation of the person's apparent lack of awareness or concern.
Now I guess you satisfy that you make me cry big mouth
The person is now satisfied or pleased with the emotional distress they have caused the speaker.
And you is right, some rain must fall
A philosophical statement suggesting that challenges or hardships are inevitable in life.
Before you came along, I had it all
Before the person being addressed came into the speaker's life, they had everything.
News is out all over town big mouth
Repetition of the news spreading and its negative impact on the speaker.
You standing over there
The person is still distant or uninvolved in the speaker's distress.
Like you don't know what it's all about
Reiteration of the person's apparent lack of understanding or concern.
I can tell by your eyes that you been telling lies big mouth
The speaker can tell from the person's eyes that they have been spreading lies.
News is out all over town Big mouth
Restatement of the gossip being widely known and the negative impact on the speaker.
You standing over there
Similar to lines 2 and 7, the person is still standing at a distance.
Like you don't know what it's all about
Reiteration of the person's apparent lack of understanding or concern.
I guess you satisfy that you make me cry big mouth
Reiteration of the person's satisfaction with causing the speaker emotional distress.
