Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you don't want, you don't have to (get in trouble)
If you don't want, you don't have to (get in trouble)
Say, you better leave my woman alone
Well, I know you are a playboy
And you've got women all over town
But listen, buddy, if you ever sweet-talk my little girl
[Chorus]
If you don't want, you don't have to (get in trouble)
You know you don't want, oh yeah (get in trouble)
If you don't want, you don't have to (get in trouble)
(Say it) oh, you better leave my woman alone
Well, I know you got your money
And you've got a new fifty-six too
But if I ever see my little girl in your new car
I'm gonna do some work on you
[Chorus]
Well, I don't believe in trouble
So I don't want to start a fight
So if you'll take heed and stay away from my little girl
Then everything will be alright
[Chorus]

The song "Leave My Woman Alone" by NewFound Road is a warning from a father to a playboy who is trying to sweet-talk his little girl. The lyrics are straightforward and direct in their message: the playboy better stay away from the singer's daughter if he doesn't want trouble. The repetition of "If you don't want, you don't have to (get in trouble)" emphasizes the father's desire to avoid confrontation, as long as the playboy respects his request. The chorus reinforces the message that the playboy needs to leave the singer's woman alone, or he will face the consequences.
The lyrics also highlight the playboy's material possessions, such as his money and car, and suggest that these are not enough to win over the father's little girl. The repetition of "My woman alone" in the end emphasizes the father's ownership and protection of his daughter.
Overall, the song conveys a message of protective love towards family and the desire to keep them from harm.
