Nitty Gritty
Love's Journey: Navigating the Nitty Gritty in New York City
Lyrics
Well, if you didn't love me
Expressing a desire for love and acknowledgment.
Wish you'd have told me
Wishing the partner had communicated their feelings about love.
Then I wouldn't even let it throw me
Wouldn't be affected if the lack of love had been communicated.
When we got down to New York City
Referencing a journey to New York City with the partner.
We got down to the nitty gritty
Reaching the essential and practical aspects of the relationship.
Well, I didn't mean to bring you down now
Unintentionally causing emotional distress.
Well, I guess I got to be myself now
Embracing one's true self.
'Cause I sure can't be nobody else now
Acknowledging the difficulty of being someone else.
Yeah, they say that I'm a millionaire now
Commenting on newfound success, possibly financial.
Well, ya told me just outside of Austin
Recalling a promise made outside of Austin.
That you'd stick with me 'til Boston
Promising commitment until reaching Boston.
When a movie star from the city
Encountering a challenge when a city movie star interfered.
He took away my nitty gritty
Having the essential and practical aspects of the relationship taken away.
Well, if you didn't love me
Reiterating the wish for honest communication in love.
Wish you'd have told me
Expressing the impact of undisclosed feelings on emotions.
Then I wouldn't even let it throw me
Emphasizing the desire for upfront communication in relationships.
When we got down to New York City
Recalling the journey to New York City and its challenges.
We got down to the nitty gritty
Highlighting the importance of addressing relationship issues.
Well, I didn't mean to bring you down now
Acknowledging unintentional negative impact on the partner.
Well, I guess I got to be myself now
Embracing authenticity and self-acceptance.
'Cause I sure can't be nobody else now
Reiterating the difficulty of being someone else and embracing individuality.
Yeah, they say that I'm a millionaire now
Confirming the acknowledgment of success, possibly financial.
