The Other Side of the Pillow
Emotions Unraveled: Love, Lies, and Boundaries
Lyrics
'm gonna make love to another woman
I intend to engage in a romantic relationship with another woman.
'Cause you made love to another man
This action is in response to your infidelity with another man.
Gonna make love to another woman
I will pursue intimacy with a different woman as a reaction to your unfaithfulness.
'Cause you made love to another man
Your involvement with another man prompts me to seek connection with another woman.
I'm gonna be as cold as the
I will adopt a distant and emotionally detached demeanor, akin to the coolness of the other side of a pillow.
Other side of the pillow
This emotional distance is a reflection of my nature or personality.
I guess that's just the way I am, oh yeah
This emotional stance is inherent to who I am.
Now, if you can't keep your woman at home
If you fail to keep your partner faithful, it's challenging to defend yourself morally.
Man, what can you say in your defense
This line emphasizes the difficulty of justifying oneself when unable to maintain fidelity in a relationship.
Well, if you can't keep your woman at home
Reiteration of the challenge of keeping a partner faithful.
Man, what you gotta say in your defense
A rhetorical question questioning what defense one can offer in such a situation.
'Cause you know it ain't none of my fault
Emphasis that the speaker is not to blame for the listener's partner showing interest in the speaker.
If your woman is looking over my fence
If the listener's partner is curious about the speaker, it is not the speaker's fault.
I'm gonna lie to you, baby
The speaker acknowledges a willingness to deceive the listener due to a lie told by the listener.
Because you told a lie to me, yeah you did
Reiteration of the speaker's intention to lie, motivated by the listener's dishonesty.
I'm gonna lie to you, baby
Expressing the speaker's commitment to deception as a response to the listener's untruthfulness.
Because you know that you told a lie to me
The speaker justifies their dishonesty, citing the listener's previous lie as a cause.
I guess that's the way you want it, baby
Acceptance of the situation as desired by the listener, acknowledging the inevitable course of events.
So that's the way that it's got to be
Recognition that the situation is now defined by the listener's preferences, and the speaker must comply.
Lord, that's the way that it's got to be
An acknowledgment that the current circumstances are inevitable and must be accepted.
