Lyrics
I'll never work for free
I refuse to work without compensation
No I can't give up
I cannot give up
It never belongs to me
Ownership is never mine
I'll never work for free
Reiteration of the refusal to work for free
Like an incantation I've been repeating
Repeated actions like a magical spell
Looking back from the outer edge I'm still the same
Reflecting on personal transformation while remaining unchanged at the core
Looking back from the outer edge I've changed my name
Transformation reflected in a name change
Just to stay the same
Changing externally to maintain internal consistency
Just to stay the same
Emphasizing the desire to stay the same despite external changes
Fell in love with the traveling man
Falling in love with a man who travels
I'll make him mine
Commitment to make the traveling man hers and do anything to achieve it
Do whatever I can
-Fell in love with the traveling man
-I'll make him mine
-Do whatever I can
-Got me looking for love
Searching for love
Got me looking for love
-Little sympathy
Desire for empathy
Cause a long way back never comes easily
Difficulty in returning to the past
Even a young girl knows
A young girl knows that love fails where there is coldness
That the first sign of love falls flat where the cold wind blows
-A single syllable contains my history
A syllable holds significant personal history
Never know one word could mean so much to me
-Fell in love with the traveling man
Repetition of commitment to make the traveling man hers
I'll make him mine
-Do whatever I can
-Fell in love with the traveling man
-I'll make him mine
-Do whatever I can
-Touching me with such sweet blindness
Expressing the intense impact of the traveling man's touch and the need for more than metaphors
Hiding where our past can't find us
-Need to find you another door
-Oh baby I need more
-I can't live on metaphors
-Oh baby I need more
-Fell in love with the traveling man
Final commitment to make the traveling man hers
Gonna make you mine
-Do whatever I can
-Fell in love with the traveling man
-Gonna make him mine
-Do whatever I can
-You got me looking for love
The traveling man has her searching for love
You got me looking for love
