Old Fashioned Way
Love's Departure: Embracing Change in the Old Fashioned Way
Lyrics
Now that my baby is going away
Expressing sorrow or realization that the speaker's baby is leaving.
This has give you privilege to come and stay
Acknowledging the privilege to stay now that the baby is gone.
But oh no, oh no
Rejecting the idea of pursuing a relationship in an old-fashioned manner.
Not in that old fashion way
Emphasizing the rejection of traditional approaches in love.
Old fashioned way, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Repetition of rejecting the old-fashioned way with a musical emphasis.
Old fashioned way
Reiterating the rejection in a musical context.
Please don't you give your love away
Advising against giving love away easily, possibly learned from past experience.
That's what she did and went away
Referencing a past event where someone gave love away and left.
So oh no, oh no
Rejection of repeating the mistake of giving love away easily.
Not in that old fashioned way
Reiterating the refusal to follow the old-fashioned way in love.
Old fashioned way, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Repetition of rejecting traditional approaches with musical emphasis.
Old fashioned way
Continuing to reject the old-fashioned way through musical expression.
Please don't you give your love away
Repeating the caution against giving love away easily.
That's what she did and went away
Recalling a past event where someone lost love by giving it away.
So oh no, oh no
Reiteration of the refusal to follow traditional love patterns.
Not in that old fashioned way
Emphasizing the rejection of the old-fashioned way in love.
Old fashioned way, yeah
Repetition of rejecting traditional approaches with emphasis on 'yeah'.
Old fashioned way and I would tell you baby
Stating the rejection of old-fashioned love and expressing a desire to communicate differently.
I don't want you that kind-a way
Declaring a specific disinterest in a particular kind of relationship.
Come on, come on and suck to your spill
Encouraging someone to adhere to their principles and not give in to pressure.
Uh no, I don't wan't you to give that old fashioned way
Expressing a refusal to accept love in the old-fashioned way.
Oh baby, baby, come on, come on
Calling out to the baby and expressing a desire for a different kind of connection.
Oh Lord help me, that's what you need
Seeking divine assistance, possibly indicating a challenging situation or emotional turmoil.
