Whad'ya Say
Love's Crossroads: Navigating Heartache with Uriah Heep's 'Whad'ya Say'
Lyrics
Whad'ya say
Expression of inquiry or curiosity, asking for a response.
Lady you're tyin' me down
Addressing a woman, conveying a feeling of being restricted or constrained by her.
Turning my heart to stone
Describing the emotional impact of the relationship, turning the speaker's heart cold and unfeeling.
And I can't help feeling
Expressing an inability to escape a certain emotion or situation.
I'd be better off
Considering the possibility of being better off alone in the streets.
Back out in the streets alone
Suggesting a desire to be independent and free from the constraints of the relationship.
Baby you're hurtin' me
Indicating emotional pain caused by the partner.
Deserting me again
Accusing the partner of abandoning the speaker once again.
I looked for your loyalty
Expressing disappointment in the partner's lack of loyalty.
And found a fickle friend
Discovering that the partner is unreliable and inconsistent.
We could try to get back
Suggesting the possibility of reconciling and getting the relationship back on track.
On the right track baby
Encouraging a positive change or resolution in the relationship.
Or leave it, just throw it away
Offering the option to abandon the relationship and move on.
We could pick it up, pack it up
Proposing the idea of either repairing or ending the relationship.
Make up or break up
Presenting the choice between reconciliation or separation.
Let's try it again
Advocating for giving the relationship another chance.
Faced with this situation
Acknowledging the existence of a difficult situation in the relationship.
There's two things we can do
Listing two possible courses of action to address the relationship issues.
A lot of it is up to us
Emphasizing shared responsibility in resolving the problems.
But most of it's down to you
Attributing a significant part of the responsibility to the addressed woman.
You know we
Highlighting the mutual involvement in the situation.
Shouldn't play with love
Advising against playing with love due to its potential dangers.
It's a dangerous thing to do
Describing love as a risky and delicate matter.
So let's not get agony
Advocating for clarity and avoiding confusion between agony and ecstasy in love.
And ecstasy confused
Warning against misinterpreting the intense emotions of pain and pleasure.
