Lyrics
Girl you're gettin' that look in your eyes,
Observing a certain expression or demeanor in the girl's eyes.
and it's starting to worry me.
Expressing concern about the observed look and its impact.
I ain't ready for no family ties,
Not ready for commitment or serious relationships.
nobody's gonna hurry me.
Emphasizing a reluctance to be pressured or rushed into commitment.
Just keep it friendly girl 'cause I don't want to leave,
Encouraging a friendly interaction without emotional attachment.
Don't start clinging to me girl 'cause I can't breathe.
Warning against becoming too dependent or clingy.
Baby, baby don't get hooked on me.
Repetition of the title phrase, urging the girl not to become emotionally attached.
Baby, baby don't get hooked on me.
Reiteration of the caution against emotional entanglement.
'Cause I'll just use you then I'll set you free.
Expressing a willingness to use the girl and then end the relationship.
Baby, baby don't get hooked on me.
Repeating the plea for the girl to avoid getting emotionally involved.
Girl you're a hot blooded woman, child,
Describing the girl as passionate and intense.
and it's warm where you're touching me.
Highlighting the physical warmth in the girl's touch.
But I can tell by your tremblin' smile,
Suggesting that the girl may be misinterpreting the singer's intentions.
you're seeing way too much in me.
Noting a sense of overestimation or misunderstanding in the girl's perception.
Girl don't let your life get tangled up with mine,
Advising the girl not to intertwine her life with the singer's.
'cause I'll just leave you, I can't take no clinging vine.
Expressing an aversion to dependent or clingy relationships.
Baby, baby don't get hooked on me.
Reiteration of the warning against emotional attachment.
Baby, baby don't get hooked on me.
Restating the plea for the girl to avoid becoming emotionally hooked.
'Cause I'll just use you then I'll set you free.
Reemphasizing the singer's intention to use and then end the relationship.
Baby, baby don't get hooked on me.
Repeating the caution against getting emotionally hooked.
