Just to Put Me Down
Love's Rollercoaster: A Heart's Highs and Lows
Lyrics
She couldn't be from up above
Expresses doubt about the girl's origin, suggesting she might not be an ideal or heavenly figure.
I never want another one
Declares a desire to avoid romantic involvement with anyone else.
Like her coming around
Acknowledges her presence and involvement in the speaker's life.
Picking me up, just to put me down
Reflects a pattern where she uplifts the speaker only to later bring him down emotionally.
She couldn't be from down below
Rules out the possibility of her being negatively influential.
For if she was, my heart would know
If she were from a negative place, the speaker believes his heart would sense it.
And when it knows it just won't go
When the heart recognizes negativity, it refuses to be involved.
Down
Emphasizes the emotional low associated with negative experiences.
Picking me up, just to put me down
Repetition reinforces the theme of being repeatedly lifted and then let down.
Picking me up, just to put me down
-Picking me up, just to put me down
-Picking me up, just to put me down
-Picking me up, just to put me down
-Picking me up, just to put me down
-Picking me up, just to put me down
-Picking me up, just to put me down
-Picking me up, just to put me down
-Picking me up, just to put me down, no
-Picking me up, just to put me down
-Picking me up, just to put me down
-Picking me up, yeah, just to put me down, whoa, whoa
-Picking me up, just to put me down
-Picking me up, just to put me down, wah-wah-wah, wah, wah
-Picking me up, just to put me down
-Picking me up, just to put me down
-Picking me up, just to put me down
-Picking me up, just to put me down
Summarizes the cyclical nature of the relationship—being raised up only to be brought down again.
