Put Me Down
Heartbreak Symphony: Love's Painful Melody
Lyrics
Well, I'm shakin' and I'm nervous all over
The speaker feels extremely agitated and anxious.
And I don't mind tellin' you why
They are willing to explain the reason for their distress.
I lost my breath to the hands of death
The speaker feels like they almost died.
And baby gonna say goodbye
Anticipating a breakup with their significant other.
It's all over town, my baby's put me down
Word about their breakup is spreading in town.
Well, my mind is blanked up and dizzy
The speaker's thoughts are confused and disoriented.
And I think I'm a gonna cry
They are on the verge of tears.
If I find it's true, she found somebody new
Fearing the possibility that their partner has found someone new.
I guess I'll lay right down and die
The speaker feels so devastated that they contemplate dying.
It's all over town, you're gonna put me down
Reiteration that news of the breakup is widespread.
Oh baby, I'm beggin' you baby
Requesting and pleading with their partner.
Oh baby, please go slow
Asking their partner to proceed with care or caution.
You know I love you darlin'
Expressing deep love for their partner.
With all my heart and all of my soul
Emphasizing the extent of their love and commitment.
My temperature's up with a fever
The speaker feels physically unwell, likely due to emotional distress.
And I don't know what to do
The speaker is overwhelmed and unsure how to handle the situation.
I'm just a-sittin' at home by the telephone
They are at home, waiting for their partner's call.
I'm just a-waitin' for a call from you
Continuing to anticipate communication from their partner.
It's all over town, you're gonna put me down
Reiteration that the breakup news is widespread.
Oh baby, I'm beggin' you baby
Similar plea for understanding and caution from their partner.
Oh baby, please go slow
Reiteration of the request for slow and careful actions.
You know I love you darlin'
Reaffirming deep affection and love.
With all my heart and all of my soul
Reemphasizing the intensity of their emotional connection.
My temperature's up with a fever
Continued physical distress due to emotional turmoil.
And I don't know what to do
Reiterating confusion and helplessness in the situation.
I'm just a-sittin' at home by the telephone
Still waiting for communication from the partner.
I'm just a-waitin' for a call from you
Repetition of waiting for their partner to reach out.
It's all over town, you're gonna put me down
Reiteration that the news of the breakup is widespread.
It's all over town, you're gonna put me down
Repeated confirmation that the breakup news is widespread.
It's all over town, you're gonna put me down
Final confirmation that the breakup news is widely known.
