Leather Jacket
Love's Dilemma in a Leather Jacket
Lyrics
Do do do do, Do do do do
Repetitive vocalization without specific meaning.
Do do do do do do do do do
Continuation of repetitive vocalization.
Do do do do, Do do do do
Further continuation of repetitive vocalization.
Do do do do do do do do do
Continuation of repetitive vocalization.
I'm drinking for three
Expressing the act of drinking for three people, possibly metaphorical.
You size me up before I know about you
Being evaluated or judged before mutual awareness.
As you stagger from the East side of my broken soul
Describing the person's movement from a troubled part of the speaker's emotions.
You tiptoe into my mess, my point of view
The person enters the speaker's chaotic life, understanding their perspective.
But it's funny how you're leading with your
The irony of the person making an impression despite the messy situation.
Red lipstick, tight hip swing
Describing physical attributes - red lipstick, tight hip swing, high heels, and tattooed fingers.
High heels and tattooed fingers they point the way
These attributes guide the way or make a statement.
And with your warm breath right on my neck
Close proximity and intimacy with the person.
As you whisper, "Baby, what you gonna do, about me?"
The person challenges the speaker with a question about their intentions.
I should probably just leave and forget about you
Contemplating leaving and forgetting about the person.
And let another guy buy you them drinks all night, lalalala
Suggesting someone else might buy the person drinks.
I should really call a cab and get in without you
Considering leaving without the person but finding it challenging due to their appearance in the speaker's leather jacket.
Take one for the road, but it ain't easy when you're looking like that in my leather jacket
Describing the difficulty of leaving when the person looks appealing in the speaker's leather jacket.
Do do do do, Do do do do
Repetitive vocalization.
Do do do do do do do do do
Continuation of repetitive vocalization.
Do do do do, Do do do do
Further continuation of repetitive vocalization.
Do do do do do do do do do
Continuation of repetitive vocalization.
I can taste white wine on your teeth
Sensory imagery of tasting white wine on the person's teeth.
Not as subtle as the fact tomorrow you'll be with another fool like me
Awareness of the person's lack of commitment, anticipating they'll be with someone else soon.
Though I can feel your heart, beating through your perfect dress
Sensing the person's heartbeat through their clothing, suggesting intimacy without wanting to commit.
It's telling me that I don't wanna start
Recognizing the risk of starting a deeper connection.
So for now I stay friendly with your
Remaining on friendly terms with the person despite reservations.
Red lipstick, tight hip swing
Repetition of physical attributes.
High heels and tattooed fingers they point the way
Attributes guiding the way or making a statement, repetition from earlier lines.
And with your warm breath right on my neck
Close proximity and intimacy with the person, repetition from earlier lines.
As you whisper, "Baby, what you gonna do, about me?"
The person challenges the speaker again with a similar question.
I should probably just leave and forget about you
Repeating the contemplation of leaving and forgetting about the person.
And let another guy buy you them drinks all night, lalalala
Suggesting someone else might buy the person drinks, repetition from earlier lines.
I should really call a cab and get in without you
Repeating the consideration of leaving without the person.
Take one for the road, but it ain't easy when you're looking like that in my leather jacket
Repeating the description of the challenge of leaving when the person looks appealing in the speaker's leather jacket.
Do do do do, Do do do do
Repetitive vocalization.
Do do do do do do do do do
Continuation of repetitive vocalization.
Do do do do, Do do do do
Further continuation of repetitive vocalization.
Do do do do do do do do do
Continuation of repetitive vocalization.
