Watch Your Step
Eddie Angel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before you go away
You did me dirty
You'll get yours one day
Chorus:
You better
Talkin' about you
Watch your step...
You better
Watch your step...
Keep your eyes open wide
'Cause you'll be hurtin' down inside
You better leave me all your money
Before you go away
Don't think I'm funny honey
All I've got to say
Chorus
'Cause when you took your love
from me
You left me full of misery
I'm gonna be all right
Chorus
When you need me by your side
I'm gonna say go somewhere and hide
Watch your step... b
everything you do
I'm gonna keep my eyes focused,
right on you
You better walk right baby
There's just one thing I know
You better watch your step...
When you need me by your side
I'm gonna say go somewhere and hide
The opening lines of Eddie Angel's song Watch Your Step warn a woman to be careful before she leaves him. He advises her to tread lightly and avoid causing him any more harm. The repetition of the phrase "You better watch your step" throughout the song serves as a cautionary message to the woman in question.
The chorus continues with warnings to the woman to be aware of what she's doing and what's going on around her because she'll be hurting soon enough. The lyrics suggest that the woman has done something wrong or hurtful to the singer and that he's warning her of the consequences.
The third verse of the song is particularly bitter, with the singer telling the woman that she should leave him all of her money before she leaves. He also warns her that he's not joking around and that she'll regret what she's done to him.
The final verse takes a threatening tone, with the singer telling the woman that he'll be watching her every move and making sure that she doesn't try to hurt him again. The repeated use of the phrase "watch your step" throughout the song underscores the singer's anger and frustration with the woman.
