Go Away
Lorrie Morgan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Touche, touche
You're right, there's nothin' I can say
I am a wishy, washy girl
But it's a wishy, washy world

Go away
No, wait a minute
I want out
Then I want in it
I'm all confused but I admit it
Go away
No, wait a minute

Ces la vie, la vie
That's what you get when you get me
Have the right to change my mind
At least a couple hundred times

Go away
No, wait a minute
I want out
Then I want in it
I'm all confused but I admit it
Go away
No, wait a minute

I need some help
I'm not quite myself
And lately I'm a nervous wreck
My whole world has changed
And the reason I'm strange
Is I love you and baby that scares me to death

Go away
No, wait a minute
I want out
Then I want in it
I'm all confused but I admit it
Go away
No, wait a minute

I'm all confused but I admit it




Go away
No, wait a minute

Overall Meaning

In Lorrie Morgan's song Go Away, the lyrics reflect a woman's uncertainty and indecisiveness in love. The phrase "touche, touche" concedes to her partner that he is right and she has no argument to make. She describes herself as a "wishy, washy girl" in a "wishy, washy world," implying she struggles to make decisions and often changes her mind. She asks her partner to "go away" and then immediately changes her mind, saying "wait a minute" and admitting her confusion.


The French phrase "ces la vie, la vie" means "that's life," suggesting that the woman's indecisiveness and fear of commitment could be a characteristic of her personality. She acknowledges that she has the "right to change [her] mind at least a couple hundred times." However, despite her wavering nature, she reveals that she loves her partner, which causes her to feel scared and nervous.


Overall, the song's message is one of vulnerability and human imperfection. The singer acknowledges her flaws but is still struggling to come to terms with them. The lyrics are relatable and honest, as many people have experienced feeling unsure and hesitant in relationships.

I love all her songs, but this video makes a great song even better.
Lorrie is the Queen of Country Music in the 90s and I doubt anyone came even close.

@ryancarey8784

Uh shania was the queen of 90s country. Lorrie Morgan was irrelevant after 1997 . Still a great artist though
