Lyrics
Did I tell you I was worried about you
Expressing concern about someone's well-being
I was a-scared you was edging away
Fearful or anxious that the person was distancing themselves
When I tell you I was worried about you
Reiterating the worry about the person
I thought you was caught in the fray
Believed the person might be trapped or involved in a conflict
I'd be wrong when I say such a thing
Admitting the possibility of being incorrect in expressing concern
A boy can hope he's just mouthing a lie
Suggesting a hopeful notion that the worrying might not be true
I know you ain't attracted by bling
Acknowledging the person's lack of attraction to materialistic things
And for that I've been breathing a sigh
Feeling relief or expressing gratitude for this aspect
Whoa whoa whoa little darlin'
Expressing a desire to take a step back
Let's fall back for a sec
Suggesting a need to pause or reconsider
Whoa whoa whoa little darlin'
Repeating the urge to step back
Baby I'm your love tech
Positioning oneself as a source of love or emotional support
When I told you I was worried about you
Clarifying that concern didn't imply incapability of self-care
I didn't mean you can't care for yourself
Recognizing the person's independence and decision-making
If you flew it's because you knew
Suggesting the person's actions were influenced by the singer's self-centeredness
That I only thought of myself
Commitment to change and be more considerate
I'll be a good boy, starting today
Promise to improve and not risk losing the person's love
Can't chance that I'll lose your love
Declaring serious intentions, not playful or insincere
Goodness knows I'm not here to play
Expressing gratitude or acknowledgment of a higher power
For you I thank the good Lord above
Thanking a divine force for the person's presence or love
Whoa whoa whoa little darlin'
Desire for alignment or synchronization in the relationship
Let's get our steps in sync
Willingness to match or coordinate actions and feelings
Whoa whoa whoa little darlin'
Offering to bridge any gap or distance between them
I'll be your missing link
Claiming to be the link to completeness or fulfillment for the person
Did I tell you I was worried about you
Reiterating concern for the person
When I told you I was worried about you
Restating worry about the person's well-being
When I told you I was worried about you
Repeatedly expressing concern for the person's state
When I told you I was worried about you
Re-emphasizing worry about the person
