God Help My Man
Love's Jealousy: God Help My Man
Lyrics
There must be a real good reason why he ain't home yet
Expressing concern and curiosity about the reason for the man's delay in coming home.
There must be a real bad wreck slowing him down
Suggesting a potential cause for the delay, possibly a serious traffic accident.
I'm hoping he blew a tire, his old truck flipped and caught on fire
Imagining a dramatic scenario involving a tire blowout and a truck catching fire, hoping for a plausible explanation.
'Cause God help my man if he's foolin' around
Expressing a strong warning that the man will face consequences if he is involved in infidelity.
If he's fooling around with some hussy he knows
Speculating that the man might be cheating with another woman.
While I'm cooking his dinner and washing his clothes,
Highlighting the domestic responsibilities the narrator fulfills while suspecting the man's infidelity.
If he thinks he can come home and climb into my bed,
Warning the man that attempting intimacy after potential infidelity will not be tolerated.
He's got another thing coming upside of his head
Emphasizing the severe consequences the man will face for his actions.
I hope there was a homeless hooker that he gave a hug to
Expressing a wish that the man interacted with a less desirable person, perhaps a homeless individual.
I pray that's her lipstick on his shirt this morning I found
Hoping that a discovered lipstick mark belongs to someone less threatening, like a homeless woman.
These seven numbers I see in his pocket better win the lottery
Desiring a positive outcome, like winning the lottery, to justify the man's possession of certain numbers.
'Cause God help my man, if he's foolin' around
Reiterating the serious consequences the man will face if he is indeed cheating.
If he's fooling around with some hussy he knows
Continuing suspicion of the man's infidelity and the domestic responsibilities being carried out simultaneously.
While I'm rocking his babies and washing his clothes,
Reemphasizing the narrator's role in the household while questioning the man's faithfulness.
If he thinks he can come home and climb into my bed,
Repeating the warning against any attempt at intimacy if infidelity is confirmed.
He's got a frying pan coming upside of his head
Stressing the severity of consequences with a reference to a frying pan as a potential weapon.
I hope he's got a real good lawyer cause he's gonna need one
Expressing the need for a good lawyer, anticipating legal consequences for the man's actions.
'Cause you know my daddy is the judge here in this small town
Highlighting the narrator's father as a judge, suggesting potential legal troubles for the man in the small town.
By the time I'm through I'm getting my half and I'm taking his too
Asserting the narrator's intention to claim her fair share and take from the man in case of infidelity.
'Cause God help my man if he's fooling around
Reiterating the severe consequences the man will face if he is discovered to be fooling around.
Yea God help my man if he's a foolin' around
A final plea for divine intervention, emphasizing the gravity of the situation if the man is indeed unfaithful.
