Lyrics
Don't you come around here no more
Rejection and request for the person not to visit anymore.
I can't stand to see your face
Expressing dislike and discomfort at the sight of the person.
Every time it brings me pain
Emotional pain caused by the presence of the individual.
Don't you come around here no more
Reiteration of the request for the person to stay away.
Thought it was the real thing
Initial belief in a genuine relationship or experience.
But instead I'm just the king of fools
Realization of being deceived or misled, feeling foolish.
Of fools
Repetition emphasizing the state of being a fool.
I can't get back any of the love
Inability to regain the love invested in the past.
That I put into you
A reflection on the unrecoverable emotional investment.
I'm the king of fools
Self-identification as the "king of fools," admitting foolishness.
I was young, and dumb, and happy
Recollection of a naive and happy past.
Up until I met you
The introduction of unhappiness due to the encounter with the person.
Don't you come around here no more
Reiteration of the rejection and pain associated with the person.
I've been having lesser days
Describing a decline in emotional well-being after the departure.
Since you left the mess you made
Attributing a mess or turmoil to the person who left.
A real fucking fear, no more
Expressing frustration and a sense of fear about the situation.
You were just my queen of pain
Describing the person as a source of pain, perhaps intentionally.
In these wicked games you played
Characterizing past interactions as deceitful or manipulative.
I'm the king of fools
Reiteration of self-identification as the "king of fools."
I can't get back any of the love
Emphasis on the inability to recover lost love.
That I put into you
Repeating the theme of irrevocable emotional investment.
I'm the king of fools
Affirmation of being the "king of fools," acknowledging foolishness.
I was young, and dumb, and happy
Reference to a past state of being naive, foolish, and happy.
Up until I met you
Linking the introduction of unhappiness to the encounter with the person.
I was young, and dumb, and happy
Repetition of the past state of naivety and happiness.
Up until the day that I met you
Highlighting the specific day when the negative change occurred.
Don't you come around here
Reiteration of the request for the person to stay away.
Don't you come around here
Emphasizing the plea to avoid the speaker's presence.
It's like my whole fucking world falls apart
Expressing a significant negative impact when the person is near.
When you come near
Continued emphasis on the adverse effects of the person's presence.
Don't you come around here
Reiteration of the plea for the person not to come around.
Don't you come around here
Continued emphasis on the rejection of the person.
As I'm the king of fools
Affirmation of being the "king of fools" and acknowledgment of pain.
And your my queen of pain
Acknowledging the person as the source of significant pain.
My dear, my dear, my dear
An emotional appeal to the person, expressing closeness.
Don't you come around
Reiteration of the plea for the person to stay away.
So don't you come around
Additional emphasis on the rejection and avoidance.
Don't you come around
Final plea for the person not to come around.
