You Ain't Foolin' Nobody
Love's Struggle: Vince Gill's Candid Reflection on Small-Town Secrets
Lyrics
Why don't you come clean, baby
Expressing a desire for honesty and openness from the partner.
I know what you're goin' through
Acknowledging an understanding of the partner's struggles or challenges.
You must think I'm some kind of crazy
Suspecting the partner might perceive the speaker as irrational or unstable.
Well, honey I'm just worried 'bout you.
Revealing genuine concern for the well-being of the partner.
You look so much like your mama
Commenting on the physical resemblance to the partner's deceased mother.
And I'm sorry for you that she's gone
Expressing sympathy for the partner's loss of their mother.
And if she was here she sould tell ya
Speculating on what the partner's mother might advise in the current situation.
Don't lose sight of what's right or what's wrong.
Encouraging the partner to stay on the morally right path.
'Cause you ain't foolin' nobody
Asserting that the partner's actions are not deceiving anyone.
'Cause baby, the talk gets around
Emphasizing that rumors or gossip about the partner are spreading.
You ain't foolin' nobody
Reiterating that the partner's true self is evident despite attempts to deceive.
'Cause you're lovin' in this one horse town.
Suggesting that engaging in questionable behavior in a small community is apparent.
Well, I hope your conscience is listening
Hoping that the partner's conscience is aware of their actions.
When you're out runnin' at night
Highlighting the potential consequences of making a regrettable choice.
All it takes is one bad decision
Stressing the lasting impact of a single misguided decision on one's life.
To haunt you the rest of your life.
Warning about the haunting effects of an ill-advised action.
'Cause you ain't foolin' nobody
Repeating the assertion that the partner's attempts to deceive are unsuccessful.
'Cause baby, the talk gets around
Noting the spreading of gossip or talk about the partner.
You ain't foolin' nobody
Reaffirming that the partner's true nature is apparent despite efforts to hide it.
'Cause you're lovin' in this one horse town.
Indicating that engaging in questionable behavior in a small community is evident.
'Cause you ain't foolin' nobody
Restating that the partner's attempts to deceive are futile.
'Cause baby, the talk gets around
Reiterating the prevalence of rumors or gossip about the partner.
You ain't foolin' nobody
Emphasizing that the partner's true self is exposed despite attempts to conceal it.
'Cause you're lovin' in this one horse town...
Highlighting the visibility of engaging in questionable behavior in a small community.
