Lyrics
My back's against the wall
Feeling trapped or in a difficult situation
Every way I turn I see your face
Constantly encountering reminders of the person
And hear your name
Continuously hearing and thinking about the person
Like a woman of the world
Describing the person as experienced and knowledgeable
Every one I know
Everyone the singer knows has been in the person's position
has shared your place
Others have occupied the person's role and played their tactics
And played your game
Engaging in manipulative behavior similar to the person
Someday baby when the world
Anticipating a future realization or understanding
has had its fill
When the world has had enough of something
You'll realize
A realization of the consequences of actions
what you have done
Awareness of the impact of one's actions
One day baby the lights
Expecting a time when clarity or enlightenment occurs
will stay on
Hope for a lasting realization or understanding
And you will see,
The person will see the consequences of their actions
what you have done To me
Reflecting on the impact of living without the person's love
Living without your love
Expressing the challenge of living without the person's love
Living without your love
Reiteration of the difficulty of living without the person's love
I'll keep it to myself
Keeping emotions and struggles hidden
Buried deep
Deeply concealed within the singer's emotions
inside this heart of mine
Concealing emotional pain
Hide the pain
Feeling controlled or manipulated like a puppet
Like a puppet on a chain
Every action is performed as directed
Every move I made
Actions are precise and well-timed
was right on time
Playing the manipulative game of the person
Playing your game
Continuation of engaging in manipulative behavior
Someday baby when the world
Anticipating a future realization or understanding (repeated)
has had its fill
When the world has had enough of something (repeated)
You'll realize
A realization of the consequences of actions (repeated)
what you have done
Awareness of the impact of one's actions (repeated)
One day baby
Expecting a time when clarity or enlightenment occurs (repeated)
the lights will stay on
Hope for a lasting realization or understanding (repeated)
And you will see,
The person will see the consequences of their actions (repeated)
what you have done To me
Reflecting on the impact of living without the person's love (repeated)
living without your love
Expressing the challenge of living without the person's love (repeated)
living without your love
Reiteration of the difficulty of living without the person's love (repeated)
living without your love
Further emphasis on the challenge of living without the person's love
living without your love
Final repetition emphasizing the difficulty of living without the person's love
