He Must Have Really Hurt You Bad
Heartache in Red: A Tale of Loneliness and Healing
Lyrics
You put your best red dress on
You dressed up in your best red dress.
And came here tonight all alone
You came to this place alone tonight.
He must have really hurt you bad
It's evident that someone deeply hurt you.
Ordered up a double coke and rum
You ordered a double coke and rum.
And hope it'll turn into fun
You're hoping the drinks will bring some enjoyment.
He must have really hurt you bad
Reiterating that someone has hurt you badly.
I don't know your story but it ain't hard to see
Although the specific details are unknown, it's apparent you have a painful story.
You've a heart that's broken as a heart can be
Your heart is described as broken to the fullest extent.
It's probably not like you at all
This behavior doesn't align with your usual self.
To mix loneliness and alcohol
You're mixing loneliness and alcohol, which is unusual for you.
He must have really hurt you bad
Reiteration of the significant pain inflicted by someone.
Now it's 1 a.m. and here you are
It's 1 a.m., and you're with a stranger at the bar.
With some stranger at the bar
You've moved on with someone new after the hurt.
He must have really hurt you bad
Emphasizing that the past pain was severe.
Across town in some motel room
Switching to another scene in a motel room.
He'll try to heal your past
Someone is attempting to heal your past wounds.
While the one that's lying next o you is only there for laughs
The person next to you is only interested in having fun.
He must have really hurt you bad
Reiteration of the severe hurt experienced.
Now I'm the Joe that sets you up then cuts you off
The speaker (Joe) facilitates connections but intervenes responsibly.
And calls a cab when you need me to
Joe helps when needed, ensuring safety.
And I'd like to say that only once in a while
Occasionally, Joe witnesses situations similar to yours.
I see someone goin' what you're goin' through
Expressing empathy for what you're going through.
Well, I need the tips, but I'll be alright
The speaker needs tips but wishes you well.
If I don't see you tomorrow night
Indirectly suggesting it's okay if you don't return tomorrow night.
Stay home girl
Suggesting you stay home and avoid further pain.
He must have really hurt you bad
Reiteration of the profound hurt you've experienced.
He must have really hurt you bad
Final emphasis on the severe emotional impact inflicted.
