Naked Checkers
Rebellious Love: A Musical Tale of Defying Expectations
Lyrics
You told your mama, you told your pa
You confided in your parents.
Mama called the preacher
Your mother contacted the preacher.
Daddy called the law
Your father involved the law.
But it's alright, it's alright
Despite the reactions, everything is okay.
We did not need them anyway
You both didn't need their interference.
We just won't come home on Christmas
You won't be returning home for holidays.
Or any other Holiday
Any holiday is excluded.
You say behave yourself, I say I'll try
You promise to behave.
You say don't go out tonight
You question the need to stay in.
And I say why
Defying the advice to go out.
But it's okay, it's okay
Despite disagreements, it's okay.
Everything's gonna be just fine
Reassurance that everything will be fine.
You can fall asleep in your bed, honey
You can sleep peacefully, contrasting the singer's restlessness.
And I'll toss and turn in mine.
Singer struggles with inner turmoil.
You makin' money honey, gonna be a star
You are going to be successful.
I lie around all day
Singer spends time leisurely, playing the guitar.
And play guitar
Despite the lifestyle, everything is fine.
But it's okay, it's okay
Reassurance again.
Everything's gonna be alright
The singer will take care of you.
I'll make breakfast every morning sugar
Expressing care through daily routines.
Sing you lullabies at night.
Singer promises to sing you to sleep.
Well you like checkers, and I like chess
Comparing different preferences but accepting them.
I like you naked
The singer appreciates you without any pretenses.
And you like to dress
You enjoy dressing up.
But it's okay, it's okay
Despite differences, everything is fine.
Everything's gonna be just fine
Reassurance once more.
Naked checkers every Friday
Engaging in a playful activity every Friday.
I bet you beat me every time
An acknowledgment that you'll likely win.
You told your mama, you told your pa
Repetition of parental reactions.
Mama called the preacher
Repetition of involving the preacher.
Daddy called the law
Repetition of involving the law.
But it's alright, it's alright
Despite it all, everything is okay.
We did not need them anyway
Reiteration that their interference was unnecessary.
We just won't come home on Christmas
Skipping family gatherings.
Or any other holiday
Avoiding all holidays with family.
