Spillin' Red Wine
Spillin' Red Wine: Unveiling Infidelity with a Clumsy Twist
Lyrics
Did you think I wouldn't notice
Expressing awareness of a change or shift in the partner's behavior.
When your 9-5
Reference to the partner's regular working hours.
Turned into
Highlighting a deviation from the usual routine.
9-to-coming-home-in-the-middle-of-the-night
Indicating the partner coming home very late at night.
Did you think that I'd believe
Expressing doubt or skepticism towards the partner's honesty.
All your half-hearted lies
Referring to unconvincing and insincere lies from the partner.
When the perfume on the seatbelt
Noticing a suspicious scent in the partner's car.
In your car don't smell like mine
Comparing the perfume smell to the narrator's own.
You really should've known
Suggesting that the partner should have anticipated consequences.
When we took our vows
Reminding the partner of their marriage vows.
There's nothing I can't figure out
Claiming confidence in solving problems or mysteries.
Tonight I'm spilling red wine all over the bedroom floor
Symbolizing rebellion and defiance through spilling red wine.
I've always been a clumsy house wife
Humorously admitting to being a clumsy homemaker.
When the officer comes to the door
Anticipating the arrival of law enforcement.
I learned from the best
Acknowledging learning from a maternal figure.
Momma taught me how to clean up my mess
Recalling being taught to clean up after mistakes.
It was time to kiss him goodbye
Implying the decision to end the relationship.
So I'm spillin' red wine
Repeating the act of defiantly spilling red wine.
Did you think I wouldn't cover up the evidence
Asserting efforts to conceal proof of wrongdoing.
Except for the stain on his collar
Except for an apparent mark on the partner's clothing.
Cuz she left hot pink lipstick
Noticing a distinctive lipstick stain as evidence.
Did you think I woulda left a key witness
Suggesting the presence of a witness who has a key piece of information.
He hasn't kissed me in a month
Revealing a lack of intimacy with the partner.
But you should ask his new mistress
Encouraging inquiry with the new mistress for more details.
Tonight I'm spilling red wine all over the bedroom floor
Reiterating the act of rebelliously spilling red wine.
I've always been a clumsy house wife
Humorously acknowledging a habitual clumsiness.
When the officer comes to the door
Anticipating the arrival of law enforcement again.
I learned from the best
Reaffirming the influence of maternal guidance.
Momma taught me how to clean up my mess
Reiterating the learned skill of cleaning up after mistakes.
It was time to kiss him goodbye
Confirming the decision to end the relationship.
So I'm spillin' red wine
Repeating the act of defiantly spilling red wine once more.
Swear to the bottle
Expressing a sincere commitment or oath.
Hand on the bible
Emphasizing truthfulness with a religious reference.
Officer you know I'd never lie
Addressing the law enforcement officer with a vow of honesty.
Cross his heart and hope he dies
Using a phrase to express seriousness or sincerity.
Tonight I'm spilling red wine all over the bedroom floor
Reiterating the act of rebelliously spilling red wine yet again.
I've always been a clumsy house wife
Reaffirming the humorous acknowledgment of clumsiness.
When the officer comes to the door
Anticipating the recurring scenario of law enforcement at the door.
I learned from the best
Reiterating the influence of maternal guidance on cleaning up messes.
Momma taught me how to clean up my mess
Reiterating the learned skill of cleaning up after mistakes.
It was time to kiss him goodbye
Confirming the decision to end the relationship definitively.
So I'm spillin' red wine
Final repetition of the rebellious act of spilling red wine.
So I'm spillin' red wine
Concluding with a defiant statement of repeating the act.
