Lovin' In Sin
Love's Forbidden Dance: Unveiling the Allure of Lovin' In Sin
Lyrics
Don’t take your darlin to New Orleans
Cautioning against taking a loved one to New Orleans
If you can
Suggesting to avoid it if possible
It will leave you forever wanting
Warning that the experience may lead to perpetual desire
Always looking to love again
Implying a continuous search for new love
I loved her most of all
Expressing a deep affection for a specific person
But I’ve loved a hundred times before
Acknowledging a history of numerous past loves
What is love when you’re loving in sin?
Pondering the nature of love when it involves sinful actions
The telephone is ringing off the wall
Highlighting a persistent distraction from incoming calls
But I can’t stop thinking about her overalls
Reflecting on the allure of a specific person's overalls
I guess that I’ll be falling down again
Anticipating a fall or emotional setback
What is love when you’re loving in sin?
Questioning the nature of love in the context of sinful behavior
Don’t take your darlin to New Orleans
Reiterating the caution about New Orleans
If you can
Emphasizing the advice to avoid taking a loved one there
It will leave you forever wanting
Repeating the warning about perpetual desire
Always looking to love again
Reiterating the idea of constant search for new love
Skeletons are crawling on the floor
Describing a troubling image of crawling skeletons
I can’t help but wonder, did I lock the door?
Expressing a concern about a possible oversight, locking the door
I guess that I’ll be calling her my friend
Expecting a shift in the relationship to friendship
What is love when you’re loving in sin?
Raising the question about love in the context of sin
Don’t take your darlin to New Orleans
Repeating the caution against New Orleans
If you can
Reiterating the suggestion to avoid taking a loved one there
It will leave you forever wanting
Restating the warning about perpetual desire
Always looking to love again
Reiterating the idea of a continuous search for new love
I loved her most of all
Reaffirming a strong affection for a specific person
But I’ve loved a hundred times before
Acknowledging a history of numerous past loves, similar to line 7
What is love when you’re loving in sin?
Persisting in questioning the nature of love in sinful situations
