I Can't Lie to Myself
Unveiling the Complex Dance of Love and Ambiguity
Lyrics
Why here
Questioning the location or situation
Why now
Questioning the timing or relevance
Why so early
Wondering why it's happening early
Why you getting down on me
Feeling judged or criticized
You know you're a
Acknowledging the person's beauty
Beautiful person
Despite being beautiful, the person is currently bothersome
But just now
Expressing a change in feelings toward the person
You bother me
Feeling bothered by the person's actions
It's so coincidental
Noticing the coincidence of the person reaching out
You reaching out for me
Person reaching out at a time of financial success
Just when I got
Just as the speaker achieves financial success
All this money
Referencing a significant amount of money
And you
Referring to the person as carefree
Footloose and fancy free
Expressing love metaphorically
I love you like a broth
Offering support to help the person
I'll help you find you feet
Cautioning against taking advantage
But don't take advantage honey
Warning not to exploit the speaker's vulnerability
Your feet ain't under me
Emphasizing the lack of support from the speaker
Why so tall
Questioning the person's height
So young
Questioning the person's age
So handsome
Questioning the person's attractiveness
You get the best of me
Feeling taken advantage of by the person
In your eyes
Seeing a reflection of oneself in the person's eyes
I see a reflection
Comparing the speaker to a beast and the person to beauty
You the beauty I'm the beast
Noting that the person has found a lover
You got yourself a lover
Unable to deceive oneself about love for the person
Can't take for a ride
Expressing inability to control the person
But you know I love you honey
Despite difficulties, expressing love for the person
I cannot lie
Asserting honesty in feelings towards the person
You want some money
Noting the person's desire for money
Kiss and cuddle too
Describing affectionate actions
Take it all now baby
Offering everything to the person
It's always been for you
Indicating that everything is for the person
I can't lie to myself
Reiterating inability to deceive oneself
