Lyrics

She's on the rounds, that's what they say

She is socializing or moving around, as rumored.


I heard the news only yesterday

The speaker recently learned about this information.


She's on the prowl like a Siamese cat

She is actively seeking romantic connections like a Siamese cat prowling.


I hope I'm where it's at

The speaker hopes to be the desirable or attractive place for her.


She's got a lover, it's a guarantee

She has a lover, and it's almost certain.


That her new lover, it ain't me

Despite the speaker's wishes, he is not her new lover.


She's got a lover, that's what I'm told

She has another lover, according to information received.


And she's got a lover, I'm out in the cold

The speaker feels left out or neglected as she has multiple lovers.


She's on the rounds, that's what they say

Reiteration of the rumor that she is actively socializing.


I heard the news only yesterday

Confirmation that the speaker recently learned about this.


She's on the prowl like a Siamese cat

She continues actively seeking romantic connections, likened to a Siamese cat.


I must not be where it's at

The speaker realizes he may not be the desirable place for her.


She's got a lover, puts her in a trance

She has a lover who captivates or mesmerizes her.


She's got a lover, I ain't got a chance

The speaker acknowledges he doesn't stand a chance against her current lover.


She's got a lover, it's a guarantee

Confirmation of her having a lover, and it's almost certain.


That her new lover, it ain't me

Despite the speaker's hopes, he is not her new lover.


And she's got a lover, that's what I'm told

She's got a lover, I'm out in the cold

The speaker feels excluded or abandoned as she has multiple lovers.
