Lyrics
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
I am okay with other guys dancing with my girlfriend.
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
I am familiar with all of them.
But I know sometimes
However, there are times when I feel the need to be in the spotlight.
I must get out in the light
I must step into the light or the public eye.
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
It's better to leave her with the kids because they are fine.
The kids are alright
Emphasizing that the kids are indeed alright.
Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
At times, I feel the need to escape.
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
There is a sense of urgency, as if bells are chiming, signaling the need to escape.
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
If I don't escape, I might lose my sanity.
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
Once again, it's better to leave my girlfriend with the kids as they are alright.
The kids are alright
Reiteration that the kids are indeed alright.
I know if I go things would be a lot better for her
If I leave, things might improve for her.
I had things planned, but her folks wouldn't let her
Despite having plans, her parents prevent her from following through.
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
Reiteration of acceptance toward other guys dancing with his girlfriend.
That's fine,
Continuation of the acceptance mentioned in line 15.
I know them all pretty well
Confirmation of being familiar with those guys.
But I know sometimes
Reiterating the need to step into the light or public eye.
I must get out in the light
Emphasizing the necessity to be in the light.
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
It's better to leave the girlfriend with the kids because they are fine.
The kids are alright
Reiteration that the kids are indeed alright.
Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
Expressing the recurring feeling of needing to escape.
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
Reiterating the urgent need to escape, signaled by chiming bells.
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
The consequence of not escaping would be losing one's sanity.
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
Once again, it's better to leave the girlfriend with the kids as they are alright.
The kids are alright
Reiteration that the kids are indeed alright.
The kids are alright
Further emphasizing that the kids are alright.
The kids are alright
Final affirmation that the kids are alright.
