Lyrics
Used to be your own man
Expressing a past state of independence and self-reliance.
Stuck to your own plan
Emphasizing adherence to one's own devised strategy.
Kept to your own time
Highlighting a commitment to one's own schedule.
Did it on your own dime
Managing one's affairs without external support or influence.
Now you're putting on a new face
Undergoing a significant transformation or adopting a new persona.
Moving at new pace
Adjusting to a different, likely faster, lifestyle.
Lightin' up a new scene
Engaging in a novel environment or social setting.
Bowin' to a new queen
Subordinating oneself to a new authority or influence.
And I say hey, hey, what do you say
Asking for opinions or reactions to the mentioned changes.
You shuck and you jive when she lookin' your way
Describing an affirmative, lively response to someone's attention.
Ooh, ohh, what do you do
Questioning how one copes with the influence of a specific person.
She got you doing headstands
Indicating the extent to which someone is influenced or controlled.
You were headin' for a breakdown
Suggesting a previous trajectory toward emotional collapse.
She caught you on a rebound
Being caught up in a new relationship immediately after a breakup.
Showed a little backside
Revealing a provocative or enticing aspect of the person's character.
Hit you like landslide
Describing the impactful and overwhelming nature of the attraction.
She got you in a deep freeze
Being emotionally frozen or paralyzed due to the influence.
Put you down on your knees
Forced into submission or a state of vulnerability.
Got all up in your kitchen
Invading personal space and becoming a dominant presence.
Became your new religion
Transforming into a central and guiding belief or influence.
And I say hey, hey, what do you say
Repeating the earlier inquiry about the impact of the changes.
You shuck and you jive when she lookin' your way
Reiterating the energetic response to attention from the person.
Ooh, ohh, what do you do
Repeating the question about coping mechanisms in the situation.
She got you doing headstands
Reemphasizing the extent of influence, now specifically through headstands.
Yes, yes, she shimmy that dress
Acknowledging the person's captivating physical presence.
You're walkin' real tall like you wanna impress
Displaying confidence and attempting to make a favorable impression.
Oh, no, where'd ya go
Expressing concern or surprise at the extent of influence.
She got you doing headstands
Reiterating the impact of the person through the metaphor of headstands.
Who's that girl got you running around
Inquiring about the identity of the person causing the upheaval.
Got you upside down
Describing the disorienting and inverted nature of the situation.
Acting like a wannabe
Observing behavior that imitates or seeks to impress without authenticity.
Tell me who's that daisy driving you crazy
Posing a question about the person who is captivating and perplexing.
I'm thinking she looks just a little like me
Suggesting a resemblance between the mysterious person and the speaker.
