Barefoot Champagne
Love's Troubles in a Bottle: Barefoot Champagne Revelations
Lyrics
Now I ain't about to tell you who told me
Someone informed me, but I won't reveal their identity
But somebody seen you around
Reports of seeing you circulating
Marching up and down the street to the beat
You're moving along the street, following various rhythms
Of just about any old drummer in town
Adapting to the beat of different drummers in town
Now you go and lie and your little friends are gonna swear to it
You lie, and your friends will vouch for it, but I'm not convinced
But that won't cut no ice with me
Falsehoods won't sway my judgment
I've been looking all over for you half my life
I've been searching for you for a significant part of my life
And I know damn well what I see
I'm certain of what I observe
I see that Barefoot champagne all morning
You consume Barefoot champagne in the morning
Big House red wine all night
Nighttime involves indulging in Big House red wine
Girl, you never did learn to do nothing
You haven't mastered any worthwhile skills, especially laziness
But lay around and do nothing right
Your actions reflect incompetence in everything
Oh baby, the things you put me through
Expressing frustration at the difficulties caused by the relationship
I don't think anybody ever loved anybody
Suggesting an unparalleled level of love for you
As much as I love you
Claiming an extraordinary depth of love
You know I loved you since the minute that I seen you
Love for you started from the moment I first saw you
I tipped you every dollar that I had
I generously gave you all the money I had
I took you into my house, tried to straighten you out
I welcomed you into my home, trying to improve you
I can't believe that you still treat me so bad
Surprised at your continued mistreatment despite my efforts
You know I bought you something nice for your birthday
I bought you a nice gift for your birthday
Now I think I may take it back
Considering taking it back due to your behavior
All the way across town to the place where I got it
Mention of the effort to return the gift across town
To get you something cheap as you act
Intending to replace it with something inexpensive, given your actions
Drinking that Barefoot champagne all morning
Continuing the theme of consuming Barefoot champagne in the morning
Big House red wine all night
Nighttime involves indulging in Big House red wine
Girl, you never did learn to do nothing
Reiteration of your lack of ability to do anything productive
But lay around and do nothing right
Highlighting your tendency to be idle and inept
Oh baby, the things you put me through
Reiterating the hardships caused by the relationship
I don't think anybody ever loved anybody
Claiming an unparalleled level of love for you
As much as I love you
Affirming an extraordinary depth of love
Barefoot champagne all morning
Repeat of consuming Barefoot champagne in the morning
Big House red wine all night
Repeat of nighttime indulgence in Big House red wine
Girl, you never did learn to do nothing
Repeat of your inability to do anything right
But lay around and do nothing right
Repeat of your penchant for laziness
Oh baby, the things you put me through
Reiterating the challenges posed by the relationship
I don't think anybody ever loved anybody
Claiming an unparalleled level of love for you
As much as I love you
Affirming an extraordinary depth of love
