Lyrics
I took a shining to you
I developed a liking or attraction to you
I wasn't lying to you
I was truthful and sincere with you
What are you trying to do and who are you crying to?
Questioning your intentions and identifying who you're seeking comfort from
You have some singing to do
You need to sing, express yourself
Some singing for you food
Singing is necessary for your sustenance or benefit
I have something for you
I have something valuable or meaningful for you
Come into my room
Invitation to enter a private space
Its back alley I know
Acknowledging a less reputable location
But you're made of gold
You possess intrinsic value or goodness
Just too bright in daylight
Your positive qualities are more prominent in the dark than in the light
Step into the dark to talk
Suggesting a need for privacy to have a serious conversation
Up against the wall
In a challenging situation against a barrier
Empty out all of your contents, back end
Emptying oneself emotionally or revealing inner thoughts
Don't hold back friend, give me what you owe me then
Encouraging openness and settling debts
Count to one hundred slowly
Take your time, be patient
I put a shining on you
I cast a positive influence on you
Poison pill in your food
Potentially harmful element in your life
Singing "la la la", what's that tune?
Questioning the significance of a song or expression
Bad timing for you
Unfavorable timing for you
One, two, three, four strikes on you
You're facing consequences or challenges
You put your back on my knife
A metaphorical betrayal or harm
Made me ask "your money or your life?"
Putting a choice between material wealth and life
Up against the wall
In a difficult situation against a barrier
Empty out all your contents
Revealing oneself emotionally or mentally
Don't hold back friend, give me what you owe me
Encouraging openness and settling debts (repeated)
Count to one hundred slowly
Take your time, be patient (repeated)
