Small Y'All
Love's Friction: Navigating Relationship Turmoil in Small Towns
Lyrics
Honey, you think he's got an attitude
Honey, you believe he possesses a negative demeanor
So you treat him just a little too rude
Consequently, you exhibit slightly impolite behavior towards him
Buddy, you think she's a little too cold
Buddy, you perceive her as being somewhat emotionally distant
So you act like a two year old
As a reaction, you behave immaturely
Don't it make you feel low, Joe?
Doesn't it make you, Joe, feel downhearted?
Don't it make you feel mean, Jean?
Doesn't it make you, Jean, feel cruel?
Don't it make you feel ashamed of yourselves?
Doesn't it cause you to feel ashamed of your actions?
Don't it make you feel small y'all?
Doesn't it make all of you feel insignificant?
Boy, you say something bad about her brother
When you speak negatively about her sibling
Girl, you say something mean about his mother
Or when you utter unkind remarks about his mother
Tempers flare and insults fly
Tensions rise, and hurtful words are exchanged
And you're both just wanting to die
Resulting in both parties feeling desperate
Don't you feel like a jerk, Kirk?
Do you, Kirk, not feel foolish?
Don't you feel like a ninny, Ginny?
Do you, Ginny, not feel silly?
Don't it make you feel ashamed of yourselves?
Doesn't it lead to a sense of shame regarding your actions?
Don't it make you feel small y'all?
Doesn't it make everyone feel insignificant?
Now lady, you say you don't live him no more
When a woman claims she no longer loves her partner
Mister, you kick down the bedroom door
And a man reacts by forcefully entering the bedroom
She calls you names you never heard before
Resulting in her hurling unfamiliar insults at him
And now its a full scale war
Escalating the conflict into a major confrontation
Don't it make you feel crazy, Daisy?
Doesn't it make you, Daisy, feel mentally distressed?
Mentally ill, Bill?
Doesn't it make you, Bill, feel mentally unstable?
Don't it make you feel ashamed of yourselves?
Doesn't it lead to a sense of shame regarding your actions?
Don't it make you feel small y'all?
Doesn't it make everyone feel insignificant?
Six o'clock, eight o'clock, nine o'clock, ten
At various times in the evening, your neighbors are aware of your recurring conflicts
The neighbors all know that you're at it again
Highlighting your frequent disputes
And two little kids just a few feet away
With young children close by, overhearing every argument
Hear every word you say
Exposed to all the hurtful words exchanged
Don't it make you feel bad, dad?
Doesn't it make you, dad, feel regretful?
Don't it make you feel wrong, mom?
Doesn't it make you, mom, feel mistaken?
Don't it make you feel ashamed of yourselves?
Doesn't it lead to a sense of shame regarding your actions?
Don't it make you feel small y'all?
Doesn't it make everyone feel insignificant?
Don't it make you feel ashamed of yourselves?
Doesn't it lead to a sense of shame regarding your actions?
Don't it make you feel small y'all?
Doesn't it make everyone feel insignificant?
