Curveball
Curveball of Love: Battling Expectations in Relationships
Lyrics
It's plain to me
Expressing a clear observation or understanding.
Can't ya see?
Asking if the listener comprehends or perceives the situation.
Yeah baby, you and me, uhuh!
Affirming a connection between the speaker and someone else, with enthusiasm.
We could be
Suggesting a possibility or potential relationship.
Oh, we could be
Reiterating the potential for a wild and free relationship.
So wild 'n free
Describing the desired nature of the relationship as unrestrained and liberated.
So wild
Emphasizing the wild aspect of the desired relationship.
So free
Emphasizing the free aspect of the desired relationship.
Ah, that's the way it should be, baby
Stating a preference for a carefree and unrestrained relationship.
For you, for me
Extending the idea of an ideal relationship to both individuals involved.
Ah, we could be livin' it up for all to see
Envisioning a vibrant and visible shared life together.
Can't stop ya from messin' with my head till it all fallin' apart
Expressing vulnerability and the impact of the other person's actions on the speaker's mental state.
Keep tearin' at my heart and then you shrinkin' it down so small
Describing the ongoing emotional pain caused by the other person.
Ya been stringin' me along right from the start
Accusing the other person of leading the speaker on from the beginning.
'N I'm still waitin' on your call
Waiting for communication or response from the other person despite the emotional turmoil.
'Cus ya just tossin' me another curveball
Characterizing the other person's actions as unpredictable and disruptive.
Ah yeah! You wafer thin, and that's phat
Complimenting the other person's physical appearance and attractiveness.
But I'm 6'2" tall 'n I'm up at bat
Asserting the speaker's readiness and determination to face challenges.
Nah, I ain't tryin' to stall, uh uh, I just keep waitin' on ya curveball
Expressing patience while waiting for the other person's unpredictable actions.
Hmmm, hit me with ya curveball baby!
Encouraging the other person to challenge or surprise the speaker.
Aw, I dunno what's worse
Reflecting on the difficulties and feeling trapped in a situation with no apparent solution.
Seem like I'm under a curse with no way out at all
Describing a sense of being cursed with no escape.
With ya backin me up against the wall
Feeling pressured or cornered in a difficult situation.
Oh, It'd be funny, if I didn't trip 'n fall
Humorously acknowledging the potential for embarrassment or failure.
Ha, ha! Yeah, got me an eye on ya curveball!
Remaining vigilant and aware of the other person's unpredictable behavior.
It's so whacked the way you play me round
Expressing frustration with the other person's inconsistent treatment.
They say you make me look like a clown
Referring to public opinion that the speaker looks foolish due to the other person's actions.
Turnin' my world upside-down
Depicting a radical transformation of the speaker's world due to the other person.
Till my smile narrowin' down to a perma-frown
Describing a persistent state of unhappiness.
Ain't no sign it gonna stop, ain't no relief at all
Anticipating continued challenges and stress due to the other person's behavior.
When I'm starin' down the barrel of ya curveball
Facing the direct impact and consequences of the other person's unpredictability.
Yeah, 'n that ain't all
Hinting at additional issues or challenges beyond the curveball metaphor.
Uh, uh!
Repeating a dismissive expression.
Your eyes, your smile
Acknowledging positive qualities in the other person, particularly their eyes and smile.
Ya help me walk that extra mile
Recognizing the support and encouragement received from the other person.
Well if it ain't this it's that
Highlighting the unpredictable nature of life's challenges.
So line 'em up 'n knock 'em back
Encouraging a resilient attitude in the face of difficulties.
'Cus that's a fact Jack!
Asserting the certainty of the challenges faced.
C'mon ya givin' me another heart attack!
Reacting dramatically to the other person's actions, possibly in a lighthearted manner.
Best wait up late, ya know I'll be back
Hinting at a cyclical pattern of behavior, with the speaker returning despite challenges.
Your eyes, ya smile
Reiterating the positive impact of the other person's qualities.
They help me walk that extra mile
Repeating the acknowledgment of the other person's supportive role.
How's that for a curveball, baby?
Concluding with a playful reference to the unpredictability of the other person as a curveball.
