Lyrics

Girl you're gettin' that look in your eyes

Girl, you're displaying a certain expression in your eyes.

And it's startin' to worry me

It's making me anxious or concerned.

I ain't ready for no family ties

I'm not ready for a committed relationship or family connections.

Nobody's gonna hurry me

I won't let anyone pressure or rush me into commitment.


Just keep it friendly, girl

Just maintain a friendly relationship because I don't want to end things.

'Cause I don't wanna leave

Don't become overly attached, as I don't want to part ways.

Don't start clinging to me, girl

Avoid becoming clingy, as it suffocates me.

'Cause I can't breathe

I feel suffocated if you become too attached.


Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me

Cautioning the girl not to become emotionally dependent on him.

Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me

Reiteration of the warning against forming a strong emotional connection.

'Cause I'll just use you, then I'll set you free

He will only use her and then end the relationship.

Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me

Repeated warning to avoid getting emotionally involved.


Girl, you're a hot-blooded woman, child

Describing the girl as passionate and intense.

And it's warm where you're touchin' me

Her touch is warm and inviting.

But I can tell by your tremblin' smile

Despite her warmth, she is reading too much into the relationship.

You're seein' way too much in me

She is attributing more significance to him than he intends.


Girl, don't let your life get tangled up with mine

Advising the girl not to intertwine her life with his.

'Cause I'll just leave you

If she becomes too dependent, he will leave her.

I can't take no clingin' vine

Expressing an aversion to being with someone overly dependent.


Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me

Repetition of the warning against emotional attachment.

Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me

Reiteration of the cautionary message regarding emotional involvement.

'Cause I'll just use you, then I'll set you free

He will only use her and then break free from the relationship.

Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me

Repeating the plea to avoid emotional entanglement.


Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me

Warning against getting attached for the third time.

Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me

Emphasizing the need to avoid emotional dependence.

'Cause I'll just use you, then I'll set you free

He will use her and then end the relationship, once again.

Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me

Final plea to prevent emotional attachment.
