Lyrics
I ain't being funny, I ain't got the brakes
I lack a sense of humor; I lack the means to stop or control the situation
I ain't got the aces, I ain't got the stakes
I don't have the advantages or winning cards; I don't have the resources or investments
If only
Expressing a desire for a different circumstance or capability
I ain't got the nerve, I ain't got the makings of
I lack the courage; I lack the inherent qualities needed
The man you deserve, I ain't got the time
I'm not the man you deserve; I don't have the available time
If only
Reiteration of a longing for a different scenario or capability
I'll be right on the train, up to town to, take you out again
Commitment to take action, boarding a train to go to town and take the person out
Right on the train, first one outta here, to take you out again
Reaffirmation of the commitment to be the first to leave and take the person out again
I ain't got the bullshit, and I ain't got the lies
Denial of engaging in deceit or insincere talk; lack of hurtful falsehoods
I ain't got the memories of tears in your eyes
I don't have the recollections of past moments filled with your tears
If only
Reiteration of the desire for a different circumstance or capability
I'd be right on the money, I'd be right on time
If only I possessed financial success or the right timing
I'd be right about everything that's bin all on my mind
If only I had correct insights about everything bothering my mind
If only
Reiteration of the desire for a different scenario or capability
I'll be right on the train, up to town to, take you out again
Commitment to take action, boarding a train to go to town and take the person out again
Right on the train, first one outta here, to take you out again
Reaffirmation of the commitment to be the first to leave and take the person out again
You got a new man, and he sounds great
Acknowledgment of a new romantic partner for the person, expressing positivity
I got a new girl who treats me right
Personal revelation of having a new supportive girlfriend
If only
Expressing a desire for a different circumstance or capability
I'd be right on the train, first one out
Commitment to take action, being the first to leave and take the person out
Up to town to take you out
Boarding a train to go to town and take the person out
Again
Reaffirmation of the commitment to take the person out again
