She's Still Got a Hold on You
Unbreakable Chains: Mickey Gilley's Melody of Lingering Love
Lyrics
You're out there having fun and drinking with the guys
You're engaging in social activities and drinking with friends.
Trying to hide the hurt you feel inside
You're attempting to conceal the emotional pain you're experiencing.
Someone play the certain song
Someone plays a specific song that triggers memories.
And inspite of it all you do she's still got a hold on you.
Despite your efforts, the person still has a significant emotional hold on you.
She's still got a hold on you
Emphasizes the persistent emotional grip this person has on you.
At awkward times her mem'ry still comes through
Even at unexpected moments, memories of her resurface.
Now you say that you're set free but you know who's fooling who
Although you claim to be liberated, there's self-deception about the reality.
'Cause she's still got a hold on you.
Confirmation that the emotional hold remains strong.
You say that you don't care as you have another round
Expressing indifference while consuming more alcohol.
You say you couldn't care less what happens to her now
Claiming not to care about her well-being anymore.
Then you see a certain hairdo and it scares you through and through
Encountering a reminder of her, like a specific hairstyle, induces fear.
'Cause she's still got a hold on you.
Despite assertions of freedom, the emotional hold persists.
She's still got a hold on you
Reiteration of the enduring emotional influence she has on you.
If you can't see it, friend, oh, then you're a fool
If you can't perceive it, you're being foolish or in denial.
Now if you happen to be me, then you know who's fooling who
If you were in the same situation, you would recognize the self-deception.
'Cause she's still got a hold on you.
Reaffirmation that the emotional hold remains despite outward claims.
'Cause she's still got a hold on you...
Emphasizing the ongoing emotional grip she has on you.
