Go Back to Your Used to Be
Heartbreak Blues: Rediscovering Strength After Love's Betrayal
Lyrics
You treat me mean babe
You are treating me in a harsh or unkind manner, babe.
You treat me so mean
The mistreatment continues, and it's causing distress.
Now you can go back
Now you have the option to return to your past, to what you were before.
Go back to your used to be
Suggesting a separation, advising to go back to a previous relationship or state.
That’s alright, That’s alright
Expressing acceptance or resignation about the situation.
Wouldn’t give me no money babe
You were unwilling to provide financial support or buy me clothes.
Wouldn’t buy me no clothes
Reiterating a lack of material support as a reason for the breakup.
That’s why I had to let you go
Explaining the necessity of ending the relationship due to the mentioned reasons.
I’m so tired babe
Expressing weariness or fatigue from the emotional strain caused by the relationship.
Of crying over you
Feeling exhausted from crying over the person.
I’m so tired babe
Repeating the emotional exhaustion and highlighting the partner's negative actions.
Of the low-down things you do
Expressing discontent with the partner's deceitful or dishonest behavior.
I know you don’t love me
Awareness that the partner doesn't truly love or care for the speaker.
While you lying across my bad
Observing the partner lying in bed, possibly in a state of disinterest or insincerity.
Drinking on that Crown Royal
Describing the partner's behavior of drinking and talking in a nonsensical or irresponsible manner.
And talking all out of your head
Highlighting the partner's irresponsible actions and their effect on the relationship.
It’s all over babe
Declaring the end of the relationship or emotional connection.
The thrill is gone
Acknowledging the loss of excitement or passion in the relationship.
You remember babe
Reminding the partner of the role they played in breaking up a once-happy home.
You broke up a happy home
Attributing the breakup to the partner's actions and impact on the speaker's life.
