I'm a Target Too
Struggles of Longing
Lyrics
Well, you mind rolling down your windows
Expressing a request or suggestion to open car windows for communication.
Cause I'm a target too
Acknowledging the speaker as a vulnerable target.
Empty wisdom and empty pockets
Highlighting a lack of both profound knowledge and financial resources.
Are all I got for you
Stating that the speaker doesn't have much to offer.
You can't pretend to buy 'em
Pointing out the inability to fake or acquire certain qualities.
And you can't pretend to pay
Emphasizing the inability to feign payment or compensation.
I'm gonna spend my money
Indicating a willingness to use resources for the necessities of life.
On the cost of livin'
Expressing a commitment to investing in the essentials of survival.
And walk the streets all day
Deciding to spend time in the streets, possibly reflecting on life.
Come on back Melinda
Calling someone, Melinda, to return to their home.
Come on back to your home
Encouraging Melinda to come back to where she belongs.
I ain't gonna be that way no more
Expressing a determination to change and not repeat past behaviors.
I ain't gonna be that way
Reiterating a commitment to personal growth and positive change.
I wait for mornin'
Anticipating the morning as a symbol of hope and renewal.
To come and save me
Desiring rescue and revival from a challenging situation.
And bring me back to life
Expressing a wish for a fresh start and a new lease on life.
Maybe sail on down the river
Contemplating settling down and finding companionship.
And get myself a wife
Considering the possibility of marriage and building a family.
It's lonely here
Expressing loneliness in the absence of a significant other.
Sittin' down without you
Feeling idle and thoughtful without the company of someone special.
Got too much time to think
Having excessive time for introspection and reflection.
My jealous thoughts
Describing intense and possessive thoughts that may lead to destructive behavior.
Are gonna kill relentless
Emphasizing the harmful nature of jealousy and its potential consequences.
And drive a man to drink
Suggesting that excessive jealousy can drive a person to seek solace in alcohol.
Come on back Melinda
Repeating the call for Melinda to return home.
Come on back to your home
Encouraging Melinda to come back to where she belongs.
I ain't gonna be that way no more
Reiterating the commitment to positive change and personal growth.
I ain't gonna be that way
Affirming the decision not to repeat negative behaviors.
Well, you mind rolling down your windows
Repeating the request to roll down car windows for communication.
Honey I'm a target too
Affirming again that the speaker is also a vulnerable target.
Empty wisdom and empty pockets
Reiterating the lack of profound knowledge and financial resources.
Are all I got for you
Restating that the speaker doesn't have much to offer.
You can't pretend to buy 'em
Repeating the theme of the inability to fake or acquire certain qualities.
And you can't pretend to pay
Emphasizing again the inability to feign payment or compensation.
I'm gonna spend my money
Reiterating the commitment to investing in the essentials of survival.
On the cost of livin'
Expressing a determination to spend money wisely on necessities.
And walk the streets all day
Reaffirming the decision to walk the streets, possibly for introspection.
Come on back Melinda
Issuing a repeated call for Melinda to return home.
Come on back to your home
Encouraging Melinda to come back to where she belongs.
I ain't gonna be that way no more
Restating the determination not to repeat past negative behaviors.
I ain't gonna be that way
Reiterating the commitment to positive change and personal growth.
