Should I Stay or Should I Go
The Clash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I'll be here 'til the end of time
So you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
It's always tease, tease, tease
You're happy when I'm on my knees
One day it's fine and next it's black
So if you want me off your back
Well, come on and let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go, there will be trouble
And if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know
This indecision's bugging me (esta indecisión me molesta)
If you don't want me, set me free (si no me quieres, líbrame)
Exactly whom I'm supposed to be (dime, ¿qué tengo ser?)
Don't you know which clothes even fit me? (¿Sabes qué ropa me queda?)
Come on and let me know (me tienes que decir)
Should I cool it or should I blow? (¿Me debo ir o quedarme?)
Split
(¿Soplo, enfrío lo soplo?)
Should I stay or should I go now? (¿Enfrío o lo soplo?)
Should I stay or should I go now? (¿Enfrío o lo soplo?)
If I go there will be trouble (si me voy va a haber peligro)
And if I stay it will be double (si me quedo será el doble)
So you gotta let me know (me tienes que decir)
Should I cool it or should I blow? (¿Enfrío o lo soplo?)
Should I stay or should I go now? (¿Enfrío o lo soplo?)
If I go there will be trouble (si me voy va a haber peligro)
And if I stay it will be double (si me quedo será el doble)
So you gotta let me know me tienes que decir (me tienes que decir)
Should I stay or should I go?
The Clash's song Should I Stay or Should I Go is one of their most popular and recognizable tracks that explores the themes of love, relationships, and commitment. The song's lyrics revolve around the singer's indecision whether to stay in a relationship where things are not clear or leave for something else. The repeated refrain "Should I stay or should I go?" highlights the confusion and frustration of the singer. The lyrics also touch on themes of power dynamics within a relationship, where the person in power is often teasing and manipulative, leaving the other person feeling confused and powerless.
Throughout the song, the singer is asking for clarity and communication from their partner in order to make a decision. They talk about how the teasing and mixed signals are confusing and that they need to know where they stand. The lyrics "One day it's fine and next it's black" showcase the volatile nature of the relationship, where things can switch from good to bad in a matter of moments.
The lyrics in Spanish add a layer of complexity to the song, with the phrase "esta indecisión me molesta" meaning "this indecision's bugging me." This line adds another dimension to the singer's situation, as they feel like they are being toyed with and are unable to make a decision due to their partner's constant teasing and indecisiveness.

Yesterday a Brazilian named Jesse Koz, who traveled through the Americas in a Beetle, accompanied by his dog named "Shurastey" in honor of this song playing with the pronunciation. Trying to get to Alaska, on a trip that left the state of Santa Catarina in Brazil, he had an accident in the state of Oregon, USA. Both came to die.
