Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me
Love's Caution: Baby, Don't Let Desires Bind You
Lyrics
Girl you're gettin' that look in your eyes,
Expressing concern about the expression in the girl's eyes.
and it's starting to worry me.
The worry is growing due to the girl's demeanor.
I ain't ready for no family ties,
Not ready for committed relationships or family bonds.
nobody's gonna hurry me.
Emphasizing the refusal to be rushed into a commitment.
Just keep it friendly girl 'cause I don't want to leave,
Advising the girl to keep the relationship casual.
Don't start clinging to me girl 'cause I can't breathe.
Warning against becoming too dependent or possessive.
Baby, baby don't get hooked on me.
Repeating the title, emphasizing the plea not to get emotionally attached.
Baby, baby don't get hooked on me.
Reiteration of the plea to avoid emotional attachment.
'Cause I'll just use you then I'll set you free.
Admitting the intention to use and then end the relationship.
Baby, baby don't get hooked on me.
Repeating the warning against emotional entanglement.
Girl you're a hot blooded woman, child,
Describing the girl as passionate and intense.
and it's warm where you're touching me.
Acknowledging physical warmth but implying it's temporary.
But I can tell by your tremblin' smile,
Noting the girl's overly optimistic perception of the relationship.
you're seeing way too much in me.
Suggesting the girl is investing too much emotionally.
Girl don't let your life get tangled up with mine,
Warning against intertwining lives due to an aversion to dependency.
'cause I'll just leave you, I can't take no clinging vine.
Expressing an unwillingness to tolerate a clingy partner.
Baby, baby don't get hooked on me.
Repeated plea for the girl not to become emotionally attached.
Baby, baby don't get hooked on me.
Reiteration of the warning against emotional involvement.
'Cause I'll just use you then I'll set you free.
Restating the intention to use and then end the relationship.
Baby, baby don't get hooked on me.
Repeating the plea to avoid getting emotionally hooked.
