Gone With Another Man
Love's Warning: A Woman's Ultimatum
Lyrics
I don't mind you goin' down to the bar
Acceptance of going to the bar but with an implied expectation of responsible behavior.
And talkin' bout the lady's man that you think you are
Acknowledging the partner's self-perception as a ladies' man, possibly with a hint of skepticism.
If you stay out late come home a little too tight
Tolerance for coming home late, albeit with a caution against excessive intoxication.
I don't say a word everythin's still all right
Choosing to remain silent, maintaining the appearance of normalcy despite concerns.
I don't mind you sayin' you're the boss at home
Acceptance of the partner claiming authority at home, comparing to a king on a throne.
And actin' like you're a king on a golden throne
Enduring the partner's bragging about control without objections.
And braggin' how you got me in the palm of your hand
Enduring the partner's claims of having control over the relationship.
But if I ever catch you with another girl gonna throw a lock on your sweet world
A clear warning that infidelity would result in severe consequences, symbolized by locking the partner out emotionally.
For you know what happened to me I'll be gone with another man
Expressing a willingness to leave the relationship if the partner cheats.
Just thought I'd give you a little advice fore you cross that line think twice
Offering advice to reconsider actions before crossing the line of infidelity.
'Cause if you do it's gonna be sad and I'll pull hurt like you've never had
Warning of emotional pain and consequences if the partner chooses to cheat.
So don't go a lookin' for love like a man that's free
Discouraging the partner from seeking love outside the committed relationship.
'Cause you got more love than you need right here with me
Reassurance that there is an abundance of love within the existing relationship.
Cheatin' and lyin' are things I just can't stand
Expressing strong disapproval for dishonesty and betrayal.
So if I ever catch you a doin' me wrong you ain't a gonna have no woman at home
Warning of losing the relationship if the partner engages in wrongdoing.
Fore you know what happened to me I'll be gone with another man
Reiteration of the intention to leave if the partner betrays the trust.
So if I ever catch you a doin' me wrong...
Continuation of the warning against betraying the relationship.
