Undecided
Love's Crossroads: Natalie Cole's Undecided Dilemma
Lyrics
First you say you do and then you don't,
Expressing indecision and inconsistency in commitments.
And then you say you will and then you won't,
Highlighting the back-and-forth nature of the person's statements.
You're undecided now, so what are you gonna do?
Prompting a question about the individual's future actions.
Now you want to play, and then it's no,
Describing a desire to engage in activities, followed by a sudden refusal.
And when you say you'll stay, that's when you go,
Noting inconsistency in staying or leaving after making promises.
You're undecided now, so what are you gonna do?
Reiterating the uncertainty and seeking a decision.
I've been sittin' on a fence,
Metaphorically describing a state of uncertainty and hesitation.
And it doesn't make much sense,
Stating the illogical nature of the situation.
Cause you keep me in suspense
Expressing frustration due to being kept in suspense.
And you know it!
Acknowledging the impact of the situation on emotions.
Then you promise to return;
Referring to a promise of return, indicating hope.
When you don't I really burn,
Expressing emotional pain when promises are not fulfilled.
Well, I guess I'll never learn,
Accepting a repeated pattern of unfulfilled promises.
And I show it!
Revealing emotions and reactions to the unfulfilled promises.
If you got a heart, and if you're kind,
Encouraging resolution to avoid separation.
Then don't keep us apart, make up your mind,
Emphasizing the impact of indecision on relationships.
You're undecided now, so what are you gonna do?
Repeating the call for a decision, acknowledging uncertainty.
I've been sittin' on a fence,
Reiterating the metaphorical image of sitting on a fence.
And it doesn't make much sense,
Restating the lack of logical sense in the situation.
'Cause you keep me in suspense
Reemphasizing the suspenseful nature of the relationship.
And you know it! Then you promise to return;
Continuing the theme of unfulfilled promises causing emotional distress.
When you don't I really burn,
Expressing the persistent pain of unreturned promises.
Well, I guess I'll never learn,
Admitting a lack of learning from past experiences.
And I show it!
Reflecting the emotional display of the repeated cycle.
If you got a heart, and if you're kind,
Reiterating the call for kindness and decisiveness.
Then don't keep us apart, make up your mind,
Encouraging resolution to prevent separation.
You're undecided now, so what are you gonna do?
Repeating the theme of indecision and seeking a decision.
Now, if you don't love me, I wish you'd say so,
Expressing a desire for honesty if love is not reciprocated.
I love you so much, honey, I just got to know;
Declaring intense love and a need for clarity in the relationship.
I'm just a fool for you; what are you gonna do?
Acknowledging vulnerability and expressing commitment despite uncertainty.
