Ain't The Missus
Ain't The Missus: Unraveling Love's Game with The Polymics
Lyrics
I go from one boy to the next
The speaker moves from one romantic partner to another.
I swear he's nothing like my ex
They believe the current partner is different from their previous one.
Good sex but I just can't shake something feels so similar, not again
Despite good intimacy, there's a nagging feeling of similarity, hinting at repeating patterns.
Long hair blue eyes common trend
Describing physical traits—long hair and blue eyes—that seem commonly sought after.
Trading peace of mind for kinda decent men
Choosing relationships that aren't emotionally fulfilling for the sake of being with somewhat suitable partners.
And you can try to plead
Others attempt to persuade the speaker, but they resist being fully captured or understood.
But no one can ever get a good hold of me
The speaker feels elusive and hard to grasp emotionally.
Oh baby, you kick and scream saying please girl change me
The partner pleads for change, hoping the speaker can alter them.
Come save me, there's no girl like you and it's driving me crazy
The partner feels the speaker is unique and essential, causing frustration.
Oh baby, you kick and scream saying please girl change me
Similar plea for change from the partner.
Not being blunt
Not being direct about their desires or dissatisfaction.
Cause if you want something different and you got something missin'
Suggesting that if the partner desires change, they need to seek it elsewhere, not from the speaker.
Ain't the missus that'll stick by your side
Asserting that the speaker won't be the one to remain steadfast and loyal.
Now here's another and he looks good on paper
Introducing another potential partner who seems promising but flawed.
Bad receipts but I'll just return it later
Despite reservations, there's a willingness to give this new partner a chance.
Hesitation gets the best of me
The hesitation stems from fear of repeating past mistakes.
If you're broken it's hopeless it's best to leave
Belief that broken relationships are better to end rather than prolong.
But oh no, don't go is what you're sayin'
The partner urges the speaker not to leave.
Getting tired of these games that were playin'
The speaker is growing weary of the relationship's dynamics.
And you can try to plead
Similar resistance to being fully understood or captured emotionally.
But never will you ever get a good hold of me
Reiterating the difficulty of being fully held onto or understood by others.
Oh baby, you kick and scream saying please girl change me
Partner's plea for change, feeling frustrated by the speaker's individuality.
Come save me, there's no girl like you and it's driving me crazy
Partner's frustration at the speaker's uniqueness causing them distress.
Oh baby, you kick and scream saying please girl change me
Similar plea for change from the partner.
Not being blunt
Reiteration of not being straightforward about desires or dissatisfaction.
Cause if you want something different and you got something missin'
Expressing that if change is sought, the speaker won't be the one to stay committed.
I won't stick by your side
The speaker won't stay loyal or committed to the partner.
Bye boy hope you miss me
The speaker leaves, hoping to be missed, asserting their choice.
My choice no point insisting
Their departure is final, despite any insistence otherwise.
Bye boy hope you miss me
Reasserting the departure and acknowledging its swiftness.
I know I left you quickly
Acknowledgment of the abruptness of leaving the partner.
Oh boy I know you want me
Awareness of the former partner's desire but finding attraction elsewhere.
But this new guy he gets his fingers dirty
New partner's willingness to delve into complex or challenging aspects.
My boy don't have to plead
The new partner doesn't need to plead as they have a strong emotional connection with the speaker.
Cause he's gotta good hold of me
Emphasizing the new partner's ability to emotionally connect and understand the speaker.
AIN'T THAT MISSUS
Repeating the idea that the speaker won't stay committed to someone seeking change; the phrase "Ain't that missus" reinforces this sentiment.
AIN'T THAT MISSUS
-AIN'T THAT MISSUS
-Oh baby you, kick and scream saying please girl change me
-AIN'T THAT MISSUS
-Come save me, there's no girl like you and it's driving me crazy
-AIN'T THAT MISSUS
-Oh baby, you kick and scream saying please girl change me
-AIN'T THAT MISSUS
-If you want something different and you got something missin'
-Ain't the missus
-That will stick by your side
