Rumors
CRAWFORD JOHNNY Lyrics

Saturday, steppin' into the club
The singer is describing a Saturday night out at a nightclub

Somebody wanna tell DJ to turn it up
The singer wants the music to be louder

I feel the energy all around
The singer senses a lively atmosphere

And my body can't stop moving to the sound
The music is making the singer feel like dancing

But I can tell that you're watching me
The singer knows someone is observing them

And you're probably gonna write what you didn't see
The observer might misconstrue what they saw and make false claims

Well I just need a little space to breathe
The singer wants some privacy

Can you please respect my privacy
The singer is asking for space and privacy

Why can't you just let me
The singer is questioning why they can't be left alone

Do the things I wanna do
The singer wants to make their own choices

I just wanna be me
The singer wants to be authentic to themselves

I don't understand why
The singer is confused

Would you wanna bring me down
The singer is asking why someone would want to harm them

If I'm only having fun
The singer is enjoying themselves harmlessly

I'm going live my life
The singer is asserting their right to live their life their way

(not the way you want me to)
The singer does not want to conform to anyone else's expectations

I'm tired of rumors starting
The singer is fed up with lies and gossip being spread about them

I'm sick of being followed
The singer is exhausted with being constantly monitored by others

I'm tired of people lying
The singer is unhappy with others misrepresenting them

Sayin' what they want about me
The singer is frustrated with others speaking ill of them

Why can't they back up off me
The singer is demanding that people give them space

Why can't they let me live
The singer wants people to stop interfering in their life

Here we are back up in the club
The singer is back at the nightclub

People taking pictures
The singer is being photographed without their consent

Don't you think they get enough
The singer is questioning why people want to take so many photos

I just wanna be all over the floor
The singer wants to dance freely

And throw my hands up in the air to the beat like (What?)
The singer is enjoying the music and wants to express it through dance

I've gotta say respectfully
The singer is being polite

I would like it if you take the cameras off of me
The singer wants the photographers to stop taking pictures

Cause I just want a little room to breathe
The singer wants some space and privacy

Why can't you just let me
The singer is repeating their desire to be left alone

I just need to free my mind (my mind)
The singer wants to clear their thoughts

Just wanna dance and have a good time (good time)
The singer wants to enjoy themselves without any distractions or harassment

Followed (followed, followed, followed, followed, followed)
The singer is highlighting how they are being stalked by others

What they (follow) me
The singer is questioning why they are being followed

Why can't they (they they they-they-they) let me live
The singer is frustrated with the constant interference in their life

Take this for just what it is
The singer wants people to see the truth of the situation
