Tired
Breakin' Free: Julie London's Anthem of Liberation and Self-Rediscovery
Lyrics
Tired of the life I lead
Tired of the current life I am leading.
Tired of the blues I breed
Tired of the melancholy or sadness I am generating.
Tired of the things I need
Tired of the necessities or desires I have.
Gonna cut out wide and that's the truth
Intending to make significant changes in my life.
Get a brand new guy while I got my youth!
Planning to find a new partner while I am still young.
Tired of the clothes I wear
Tired of the current clothing I wear.
Tired of the patches there
Tired of the visible signs of wear and tear.
Tired of the crows I scare
Tired of the negative influences around me.
Gonna move down town and spread my moo
Deciding to move to the city and enjoy life.
Get a short fam shoe and a new guy too!
Planning to acquire fashionable items and a new partner.
Cleanin' an' a-moppin'
Engaged in cleaning and tidying up.
Dustin' an' a-shoppin'
Busy with household chores and shopping.
Sure leaves your ego low!
Expressing that these activities can be humbling.
Washin' an' a-scrubbin'
Involved in washing and cleaning.
Starchin' an' a-sockin'
Engaged in tasks like ironing socks.
Don't make you look like no Marilyn Monroe!
Not achieving the glamorous appearance of Marilyn Monroe through these activities.
Tired of the tears I shed
Experiencing fatigue from the emotional pain.
Tired of livin' in the red
Tired of living in financial debt.
Tired of the same old bed
Exhausted with the monotony of the current relationship.
Gonna dress up fine like Cindy Lou
Intending to dress elegantly like Cindy Lou.
Gonna do the things I know she'd do
Planning to engage in activities resembling those of Cindy Lou.
'Cause I'm tired, mighty tired of you!
Expressing weariness and dissatisfaction with the current relationship.
Sure leaves your ego low!
Reiteration of the humbling nature of certain activities.
Don't make you look like Marilyn Monroe!
Reemphasizing that these activities don't make one resemble Marilyn Monroe.
Tired of the tears I shed
Reiterating the fatigue from emotional distress.
Tired of livin' in the red
Reiterating the exhaustion from financial difficulties.
Tired of the same old bed
Reiterating dissatisfaction with the current relationship.
Gonna dress up fine like Cindy Lou
Reiterating the intention to dress up in a refined manner.
Gonna do the things I know she'd do
Reiterating the intention to emulate the actions of Cindy Lou.
'Cause I'm tired, mighty tired of you!
Expressing profound weariness and discontent with the current partner.
