Calling The Shots
Unraveling the Charms of Independence in Status Quo's 'Calling The Shots'
Lyrics
She won't drink and she won't swear
She avoids drinking and swearing.
You can't take her anywhere at all
She is not suitable for social outings.
She got style but she don't care
She possesses style but is indifferent or unconcerned.
She left me beyond repair before
She caused significant emotional damage, leaving the speaker in a state of disrepair.
She'll pass you by, boy
She will ignore you, possibly showing disinterest.
She'll try you and tie you in knots
She will test and entangle you in difficult situations.
Run for cover
A warning to seek shelter or protection.
'Cos brother, she's calling the shots
She is the one in control, making decisions or influencing the situation.
Falling in and falling out
Experiencing ups and downs in the relationship.
When you know what she's about you're fine
Understanding her intentions makes everything okay.
You lost both swings and roundabouts
Dealing with both positive and negative aspects of the relationship.
Can't you see you're running out of time?
Time is running out, and the situation is becoming critical.
She'll pass you by, boy
She may overlook or ignore you.
She'll try you and tie you in knots
She will challenge and complicate your life.
Run for cover
A repeated warning to seek shelter or protection.
'Cos brother, she's calling the shots
Emphasizing that she is the one in control or making decisions.
She'll make you cry
She will cause you emotional distress, possibly making you cry.
Wave bye bye as she takes what you've got
She will take away what you have, and you'll have to say goodbye.
Booked another
She has booked another, possibly indicating infidelity.
And lover's still calling the shots
Even though she has a lover, she is still the one in control.
She'll pass you by, boy
A repetition of the warning that she may pass you by.
She'll try you and tie you in knots
She will test and entangle you in difficult situations.
Run for cover
Reiterating the need to seek shelter or protection.
'Cos brother, she's calling the shots
Emphasizing that she is the one in control or making decisions.
She'll pass you by, boy
Repetition of the warning that she may pass you by.
She'll try you and tie you in knots
She will challenge and complicate your life.
Run for cover
Reiterating the need to seek shelter or protection.
'Cos brother, she's calling the shots
Emphasizing that she is the one in control or making decisions.
