I Got News For You
Illusions Unveiled: Jane Child's Candid Revelation in 'I Got News For You'
Lyrics
It wasn't particularly gracious
Leaving wasn't done gracefully
Of me to leave, but I found
Left due to finding the situation
The situation unbearably ostentatious
Describes the situation as excessively showy
With you and her flirtatious
Refers to your flirtatious behavior with another person
Had it been any other night
Any other night, the outcome might have been different
I might have stayed and put up a fight
Could have stayed and fought, but chose not to
I guess I wasn't impressed with your seduction
Wasn't impressed with your attempts at seduction
It wasn't an unlikely conclusion
Expected conclusion given the circumstances
For me to draw when I saw
Seeing you and someone else in an obvious love setting
You and her in some obvious love seclusion
Asks for forgiveness for intervening
Please pardon my intrusion
If you had said something profound, might have stayed
Had you said something too profound
Wasn't interested in the illusion of the relationship
I might have hung in and stood my ground
(Empty line)
I guess I just wasn't digging our illusion
Did not overlook or ignore certain actions
If you think I didn't see
Asserts perception and awareness
I got news for you
News: You are not fooling the speaker
If you think you're fooling me
(Empty line)
I got news for you
The decision to leave was rational
It wasn't an irrational notion
Aversion to unnecessary commotion
That made me take the walk 'cause
Refers to unnecessary movement or actions
I'm not inclined towards unwarranted commotion
Stayed due to perceiving genuine emotion
Unnecessary motion
(Empty line)
Had I thought you were some excuse
If you were an excuse, might have stayed
I might have stayed and turned on the juice
Left due to lack of genuine emotion
I guess I just felt a lack of real emotion
Feeling a deficiency in real emotion
If you think I didn't see
Reiteration of having observed certain actions
I got news for you
Reiterates awareness that the speaker is not fooled
If you think you're fooling me
(Empty line)
I got news for you
Reiterates the speaker's awareness that deception is unsuccessful
