Lyrics

Don't know where she's going

Uncertainty about her destination when she leaves

Lately when she leaves

Recently, her departures have been unclear

All I know is that girl don't

Emphasizing her lack of direction

Don't know where she's going

Uncertainty about her destination when she leaves

Lately when she leaves

Recently, her departures have been unclear

All I know is that girl don't

Emphasizing her lack of direction

Dress like that for me

She dresses differently when not with the speaker


I can feel it coming

Sensing an impending conversation or revelation

That word that she won't say

A specific word she avoids saying

But is she said it now it might take a while

Fear that speaking this word may cause delay

And she don't wanna be late

She's conscious of not wanting to be delayed


She's putting on a short dress

She's preparing herself, physically

Showing off her long legs

Displaying her attractive features

And putting on them heels stiletto high

Wearing high heels, enhancing her appearance

Lookin in the mirror in our bedroom

She's assessing herself before leaving

Putting on her lipstick and her perfume

Getting ready with makeup and scent

Putting off telling me goodbye

Delaying the act of saying goodbye


She never says she Ioves me

Her reluctance to express affection without prompting

'Less I say it first

She waits for the speaker to express love first

And it's a damn good bet when we get in bed

Expectation of her citing a headache during intimacy

She's gonna tell me her head hurts

Pattern of citing physical discomfort during intimacy


I wish she'd just leave me

Desire for her to leave because of emotional pain

Oh cause there ain't no doubt

The inevitability of emotional pain

That it's gonna hurt, but it can't be worse

Anticipating pain but feeling it can't be worse

Than the way I feel right now

The current emotional pain is overwhelming


She's putting on her short dress

Repetition of preparing herself physically

Showing off her long legs

Emphasizing her attractive features again

Putting on them heels stiletto high

Reiterating the enhancement of her appearance

She's looking in the mirror in our bedroom

Continuing the act of self-assessment

Putting on her lipstick and her perfume

Repeating the process of makeup and scent

Putting off telling me goodbye

Delaying the act of saying goodbye, repetition


She's looking in the mirror in our bedroom

Repetition of self-assessment before leaving

Putting on her lipstick and her perfume

Repetition of preparing with makeup and scent

Putting off telling me goodbye

Continued delay in saying goodbye, repetition

Putting off telling me goodbye

Continued postponement of saying goodbye
