No One
Kayge Calypso & Dunn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got whiskey to keep me warm when the sun goes down
And this God forsaken honky tonk ain't likely to run out
So won't you come on home and save me
Stop me before I drown
'Cause I'm no good, pretty mama
When you're not around
And there's women in this town whispering in my ear
Saying things a man in my condition likes to hear
So won't you come on home and stop me
Before I step on out
'Cause I'm no good, pretty mama
When you're not around

Well I'm helpless when I'm tempted
And I'm headed straight for hell
Oh I've got no resistance

The Devil knows me well
So won't you come on home sweet darlin'
Oh Lord I need you now
'Cause I'm no good, pretty mama
When you're not around

Now there's a southbound
Callin' me further down the track
And if I get on board that train
Well I'm never coming back
So won't you meet me at the station
And tie my boot heels down
Cause I'm no good, pretty mama





When you're not around

LYRICS:
You curl my name with your lip
I take a drink, I hate it
I tell you what you want to hear, so I

Can catch my breath, and step away
Think about what to say, to you
While you come unglued

I don't know how to make it clear
I've tried it out all these years
But it doesn't seem to go through
’til now

Here I go, hear what I’m saying
What I want to say, what I want to say
All this time, you thought I would be your girl
I'm sorry, I belong to no one
No one, I belong to no one
I'm not known to hold on
Hold on, too long

There you go. Take it back.
You didn't mean this and you didn't mean that.
What were you thinking when you
Thought you could touch me last night?
I know you don't think it's wrong
If you don't break the skin
But if I want to touch, I’ll ask for it

While you come unglued

I don't how to make it clear
I've tried it out all these years
It doesn't seem to go through
Til' now

I belong to no one (no one)
I belong to no one (no one)
I'm not known to hold on (hold on)
Hold on, too long
I belong to no one

There you go. Take it back.
You didn't mean this and you didn't mean that.
What were you thinking when you
Thought you could touch me last night?

I know you don't think it's wrong
If you don't break the skin
But if I want to touch, I’ll ask for it

Until I can catch my breathe, and step away
Think about what to say, to you
While you come unglued

I belong to no one (no one)
I belong to no one (no one)
I'm not known to hold on (hold on)
Hold on, too long
I belong to no one.
