Don't Forget
Love's Unpredictable Dance: A Song's Plea
Lyrics
Don't forget to turn me off before you go
Reminder to end a connection or relationship before departure.
You got me cookin' on the back burner baby nice and slow
Describing the emotional state as simmering slowly in the background.
And when you come around it only stokes the fire
Presence intensifies emotions, particularly passion.
And if I said that I was cool oh baby I'm a liar
Admission that claiming to be unaffected is untrue.
Well the fire's burning hot
The intensity of emotions is high and escalating.
But don't let it melt the pot
Caution against letting emotions become overwhelming.
And don't forget to turn me off before you go
Reiteration of the need to end the connection before departure.
Don't forget to turn me off you silly fool
Emphasizing the importance of disconnecting, addressing a sense of foolishness.
Well it would help if you'd be mean oh baby just be cruel
Suggesting that being harsh or cruel would make the situation easier.
And you can stop that electric gaze and you're wiley grin
Advising to resist a captivating or tempting look and sly grin.
And when I come a-knockin' don't let me in
A plea not to be allowed back into the emotional space.
Well I know I'm just a friend
Acknowledging a limited role as just a friend in the relationship.
You got me burnin' at both ends
Feeling emotionally drained or exhausted from both sides.
And don't forget to turn me off before you go
Repeating the importance of ending the connection before departure.
Don't forget to turn me off before you leave
Reiterating the need to disconnect before leaving.
Cool me down, ice water, just let me breathe
Asking for emotional cooling down, possibly seeking space.
And doncha tell me that you love me anymore
Expressing a desire not to hear professions of love anymore.
And when I come around just slam the door
Requesting a firm rejection when returning.
Oh well I know it's just so easy
Acknowledging the simplicity of the situation.
And all it does is serve to please me
Recognition that actions are done for personal satisfaction.
But when I'm hopin' that you'll squeeze me
Expressing hope for affectionate moments.
Then all you ever do is tease me
Indicating frustration when expectations are not met, leading to teasing.
And don't forget to turn me off before you go
Final reminder to disconnect before departure.
