Lyrics
Yeah, you come home in the morning,
Coming home in the morning, possibly after a night out.
Your hair's all a mess
Appearance is disheveled, indicated by messy hair.
You've been out all night,
Implication of staying out late into the night.
You've got wrinkles in your dress
Physical signs of a long night, like wrinkles in clothing.
You give me the runaround
Accusation of evasive behavior or deceit.
All day long you give me the runaround
Repetition of the frustration with consistent evasiveness.
When you say something here,
Communication is unclear or contradictory.
You mean something there
Discrepancy between words and actual intentions.
You give me the runaround
Reiteration of frustration with evasive behavior.
Same thing yesterday,
Highlighting the persistence of the issue.
Same thing the day before
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of the problem.
Woman, it does get pretty doggone old
Expressing weariness with the situation, possibly indicating a long-standing problem.
You give me the runaround
Repetition of frustration with ongoing evasiveness.
All day long you give me the runaround
Emphasizing the persistence of the issue throughout the day.
You give me the runaround, woman,
Expressing growing fatigue and impatience with the runaround.
I'm getting tired of that
Declaring weariness and dissatisfaction with the situation.
Hey, you told me last Sunday
Reference to a past promise to resolve the issue.
You were gonna straighten it out
Expressing doubt about the sincerity of the promise.
You know, woman, it's time
Indicating the need for resolution and clarity.
I started having my doubts
Expressing growing skepticism or distrust in the relationship.
Such a runaround
Summarizing the frustrating and evasive behavior as a 'runaround.'
You've been stepping on me,
Feeling figuratively oppressed or mistreated by the evasiveness.
Woman, running 'round like that
Reinforcing the frustration with the partner's elusive actions.
