Don't Start Me To Talkin'
Gossip Unveiled: The Doobie Brothers' Tale of Deceit and Scandal
Lyrics
Goin' down to rosie's
Goin' to Rosie's, a location
Stop at fanny may's
Stopping at Fanny May's, another location
Gonna tell fanny what i heard her boyfriend say
Planning to inform Fanny about her boyfriend's words
Now don't you start me talkin'
Warning against provoking discussion
I'll tell ev'rything i know
Threatening to reveal all information possessed
I'm gonna break up this signifyin'
Intent to end or disrupt gossip and rumors
'cause somebody gotta go
Indicating that someone must depart or face consequences
Jack gave his wife two dollar
Jack gave his wife two dollars
Go down to the market
Going to the market
Get out on the street, ol' george stopped her
Encountering someone named George on the street
He knocked her down
George physically assaulted her
And blacked her eye
Resulting in a bruised eye
She get back home and tell her husband a lie
Returning home and fabricating a story to her husband
Now don't you start me talkin'
Reiterating the warning against starting conversation
I'll tell ev'rything i know
Reiterating the threat to disclose information
I'm gonna break up this signifyin'
Reinforcing the intent to halt gossip
'cause somebody gotta go
Reaffirming the need for someone to leave or face consequences
She borrowed some money
She borrowed money for a beauty shop visit
To go to the beauty shop
Intention to go to a beauty shop
;i'm goin' to a place where i can get my hair sot;
Expressing plans to have hair styled or treated
Now don't you start me talkin'
Warning against initiating dialogue
I'll ell ev'rything i know
Reiterating the threat to disclose information possessed
I'm gonna break up this signifyin'
Reaffirming the intent to halt gossip or rumors
'cause somebody gotta go
Reiterating the necessity for someone to leave or face consequences
