Red Wine, White Wine
Intoxicating Desires: Red Wine, White Wine Revelations
Lyrics
Every time you come to town
Expressing the regularity of someone's visits to town
It's just another same old story
Highlighting the repetitive nature of the experiences with this person
You call me on the phone
Describing communication initiated by the person coming to town
Tell me that you want my body
Indicating a physical desire from the person
Tell me you're in love with me
Acknowledging the person's claim of love
That's your burden to carry
Suggesting that dealing with the person's emotions is their responsibility
I can't help your cravings boy
Declining to fulfill the person's cravings or desires
I'm just a perfect cherry
Asserting the speaker's worth and individuality
Please don't call me baby
Rejecting a close or intimate term of endearment
You don't know me like that
Emphasizing a lack of deep understanding between them
Please don't call me baby
Reiterating the reluctance to be addressed with an affectionate term
Red wine, white wine
Introducing the recurring motif of wine types, possibly symbolizing different aspects of the relationship
Please don't call me baby
Continuing to discourage the use of endearing terms
You're wastin' my time
Expressing frustration with the person's actions wasting the speaker's time
So you drink with your homies
Describing the person's socializing with insincere friends
They a bunch of phonies
Discrediting the authenticity of the person's friends
You tell me you love me but
Pointing out a contradiction in the person's words and actions
Boy, you is fuckin' wild
Labeling the person as wild or unruly
You is fuckin' wild
Reiterating the wild nature of the person
You hide behind your suit and tie
Highlighting the person's attempt to hide behind a professional facade
You're goin' to your meetin'
Describing the person's engagement in work-related meetings
You think that makes you grown
Questioning the person's perception of maturity
And then you come home in the evenin'
Highlighting the person's inconsistency in behavior
I drink up all your wine
Indicating a rebellious act of consuming the person's possessions
While I listen to your whinin'
While mocking the person's complaints
You thinkin' you so smooth
Criticizing the person's perceived smoothness and charm
Think you're so invitin'
Questioning the person's inviting demeanor
Please don't call me baby
Reiterating the refusal of affectionate terms
You don't know me like that
Reemphasizing the lack of mutual understanding
Please don't call me baby
Continuing to reject affectionate labels
Red wine, white wine
Bringing back the symbolism of different wines
Please don't call me baby
Persisting in discouraging endearing language
You're wastin' my time
Stating that the person is wasting the speaker's time
You brag to your homies
Describing the person's bragging to insincere friends
They a bunch of phonies
Reiterating the lack of authenticity in the person's social circle
You tell me you love me but
Pointing out the contradiction in the person's professed love and wild behavior
Boy, you is fuckin' wild
Labeling the person as wild once again
You is fuckin' wild
Reiterating the wild nature of the person
Boy, boy, boy
Repeating the term "boy" for emphasis
Boy, boy, boy
-So call me on my phone
Expressing a desire for solitude and independence
I wanna be alone
Reiterating the wish for personal space and isolation
Don't call me on my phone boy
Emphasizing the preference for being alone
I wanna be alone
Repeating the desire to be left alone, particularly by the person
