Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hold you to it so you can't lie
You stay down low 'til you're up high
But you never let me down you're my all time
Got a little baddie and she all mine (Yeah)
Imma run my fingers through her waistline (Yeah)
No text no call I need FaceTime (Yeah)
I don't take no hints I don't take signs (Yeah)
Hold up a second and let's, reroute it
It's the winter time we should cuddle up (Cuddle up)
Take her to the room and bundle up (Bundle up)
Don't know what I said just to upset her
Gotta play the part I'm a hard hitter (Hard hitter)
But now I gotta say the truth (Yeah)
Now I gotta say to you what I-
What I won't do, I won't hold you back I won't hold you
Only I know what you're going through
Yup, would you roll through
If I told you, what you won't do
You know how I do it when it come time
I hold you to it so you can't lie (So you can't lie)
You stay down low 'til you're up high
But you never let me down you're my all time
Got a little baddie and she all mine (Yeah)
Imma run my fingers through her waistline (Yeah)
No text no call I need FaceTime (Yeah)
I don't take no hints I don't take signs (Yeah)
I don't even wanna talk I don't wanna conversate
You know what I want when I had a long day (When I had a)
Don't even like how you're taking it
Don't take my trust and put a break in it
I say you can trust me (Yeah, yeah)
Can you take that? (Yeah, yeah)
What you want me? (Yeah, yeah)
Want me to say that (Yeah, yeah)
Not for the hoes, the shows, the money or the clothes
A big bankroll just to put you in gold
What I won't do, I won't hold you back I won't hold you
Only I know what you're going through
Yup, would you roll through
If I told you, what you won't do
You know how I do it when it come time (When it come time)
I hold you to it so you can't lie (So you can't lie)
You stay down low 'til you're up high
But you never let me down you're my all time
Got a little baddie and she all mine (Yeah)
Imma run my fingers through her waistline (Yeah)
No text no call I need FaceTime (Yeah)
I don't take no hints I don't take signs (Yeah)

What's amazing about this is that this is Appalachian music which has a distinctly latin or "Cuban" flavor -- that bass part is a rumba or a son bassline. How did these mountain boys get into Latin dance music?

I never hear anything about Jack getting killed in a Auto accident going to Patsy Cline’s funeral
@RanchRadio
"On March 8, 1963, Anglin veered off New Due West Avenue, down a ditch twelve foot deep into a tree in Madison, Tennessee.[7] Jack Anglin's death was a blow to the country music community. Earlier that week, four other members of the Grand Ole Opry perished in a plane accident. On the morning of his death, Anglin first attended the joint services of Cowboy Copas and Randy Hughes then the memorial for Hawkshaw Hawkins before headed to the barbershop to prepare for Patsy Cline’s memorial service. It was the hair-cut that made Jack Anglin late and put him in a rush to get to Cline's service on time, causing him to speed and lose control of his vehicle. Jack Anglin died on impact of a fractured skull. Anglin was buried in Goodlettsville, Tennessee in the same cemetery as Cowboy Copas. In his 1993 memoir, By The Seat of my Pants, musician Buddy Killen claimed Jack Anglin was headed the opposite direction of the funeral and did not die in the accident.[8] No evidence has ever been produced to support his outlandish claim. Jack left behind his young son Terry and wife Louise. Two weeks prior to his death, Jack Anglin and Johnnie Wright had released two new songs they hoped to soon take on the road. Following his death, in 1983 his family opened a museum in honor of his musical legacy on Old Hickory Boulevard. In the late twentieth century, two of Jack Anglins songs were used as soundtracks to the television shows The Marty Stuart Show and God's Bloody Acre- Kitty Wells." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Anglin

This is not the original 1951 recording which is far superior to this late 50s Nashville Sound remake!
