Hit The Road
Love's Crossroads: Just the One's Melodic Farewell
Lyrics
I don't want to be the one to tell you that you have to hit the road
The speaker doesn't want to be the one who tells their partner to leave.
Baby, just hit the road
Encouraging the partner to leave.
I don't want to be the one to tell you that you have to hit the road
Reiterating the reluctance to be the person to ask the partner to depart.
Baby, just hit the road
Repeating the encouragement for the partner to depart.
Girl I know I made promises
The speaker acknowledges making promises.
Yeah, I know that I broke them
Admits to breaking those promises.
Baby, you made promises, too
Asserts that the partner also made and broke promises.
And you broke those, didn't you
Highlighting the partner's broken promises.
So, won't you tell me what I've got to do
Asking what needs to be done to move on from thoughts of the partner.
To get my mind off of you
Desiring to free the mind from thoughts of the partner.
You're still running through my head
Expressing that the partner is still in the speaker's thoughts.
There's nothing I can do to forget
Feeling unable to forget about the partner.
I can't keep pretending that I can do this anymore, baby
Admitting inability to continue pretending things are fine.
You know that there ain't nothing going on for you and me lately
Stating that the relationship is currently not thriving.
I don't want to be the one to tell you that you have to hit the road
Reluctance to be the one initiating the partner's departure.
Baby, just hit the road
Encouraging the partner to leave, despite reluctance.
I don't want to be the one to tell you that you have to hit the road
Repeating the reluctance to be the one asking the partner to leave.
Baby, just hit the road
Repeating the encouragement for the partner to depart.
Yeah, I know I've done some stupid things
Acknowledging past mistakes made by the speaker.
Of bad decisions, I am the king
Admitting a history of poor decision-making.
But if you think I'm coming back again then girl, there's something wrong in your head
Implying disbelief that the partner expects a reconciliation after such behavior.
It's not like I want to say goodbye
Expressing reluctance to say goodbye.
We could probably make it work if we tried
Suggesting the possibility of making the relationship work with effort.
But I'm not too fond of your kind; if you want another man, go get one, baby
Not interested in the partner's type; suggesting the partner can seek another relationship.
I can't keep pretending that I can do this anymore, baby
Reiterating inability to continue the pretense of a functioning relationship.
You know that there ain't nothing going on for you and me lately
Confirming the lack of progress or improvement in the relationship.
I don't want to be the one to tell you that you have to hit the road
Reluctance to initiate the partner's departure, despite necessity.
Baby, just hit the road
Encouraging the partner to leave, despite reluctance.
I don't want to be the one to tell you that you have to hit the road
Repeating the reluctance to be the one asking the partner to leave.
Baby, just hit the road
Repeating the encouragement for the partner to depart.
I can't keep pretending that I can do this anymore, baby
Reiterating the inability to continue pretending the relationship is viable.
You know that there ain't nothing going on for you and me lately
Confirming the lack of progress or improvement in the relationship.
