Watch Your Step
Cautionary Tales of Love: Watch Your Step
Lyrics
You better take it easy baby
You should take it easy, be cautious, or be careful, baby.
Before you go away you keep me worried
Before you leave, your actions are causing me worry or concern.
And you get yours one day
You will face consequences for your actions eventually.
Watch your step watch your step
A repeated warning to be cautious and mindful of one's actions.
Watch your step watch your step
-Keep your eyes wide open
Keep alert and aware because there may be negative consequences.
'Cause you'll be hurtin' down inside
Be prepared for emotional pain or distress deep within.
You better leave me all your money
Give me all your money before you depart.
Before you go away
Before leaving, take the necessary actions to prevent negative consequences.
Don't think I'm falling for it
Don't believe that I'm easily deceived or manipulated.
All I gotta say is
An expression of skepticism or distrust.
Watch your step watch your step
Reiteration of the warning to be cautious in one's actions.
Watch your step watch your step
-'Cause when you take your love from me
Warning that separating from the speaker will lead to suffering.
Be full of misery
The consequences of leaving will be filled with misery.
I'm gonna miss your loving every night
Expressing the speaker's longing for the love that will be missed every night.
Get myself together i'm gonna be all right
The speaker intends to get themselves together and be fine despite the separation.
Watch your step watch your step
Repeating the warning to watch one's step, emphasizing caution.
Watch your step watch your step
-When you sneak up by my side
When someone approaches surreptitiously, the speaker will advise them to go hide somewhere.
I'm gonna say "Go somewhere and hide"
The speaker's response when someone sneaks up is to suggest they go and hide.
