Too Rolling Stoned
Robin Trower & Michael Schenker Lyrics

Oh a stitch in time, just about saved me
A small action taken at the right time prevented me from repeating my mistakes.

From going through the same old moves
Repeating the same pattern of behavior that did not lead to any improvement.

And this cat is nine
This person has been around for a while and should have learned from their experiences.

He still suffers
Despite their experience, the person is still going through difficulties.

He's going through the same old grooves
The person is still trapped in the same cycle of behavior that is not leading to any positive change.

But that stone just keeps on rolling
The negative consequences of the person's actions keep compounding.

Bringing me some real bad news
The person is facing the negative consequences of their actions.

Takers get the honey
People who are selfish and take advantage of others get what they want.

Givers sing the blues
People who are kind and generous often end up feeling sad or exploited.

Too many cooks yeah spoil such a good thing
Involving too many people in a project or situation can lead to complications and problems.

I know I laughed out loud but that was then
The person acknowledges that they made a mistake or underestimated a situation in the past.

Ain't it funny, a fool and his money
It is ironic how easily foolish and naive people can be taken advantage of.

Always seemed to find was those real good friends
The only people who seem to care about the person are those who want something from them.

That stone just keeps on rolling
The negative consequences of the person's actions continue to accumulate.

Bringing me some real bad news
The person is facing the negative consequences of their actions.

The takers get the honey
People who are selfish and take advantage of others get what they want.

The givers sing the blues
People who are kind and generous often end up feeling sad or exploited.

Well that stone keeps on rolling
The negative consequences of the person's actions continue to accumulate.

Bringing me some real bad news
The person is facing the negative consequences of their actions.

The takers get the honey
People who are selfish and take advantage of others get what they want.

The givers sing the blues
People who are kind and generous often end up feeling sad or exploited.

A stitch in time, helps to unfold me
A small action taken at the right time can prevent bigger problems from occurring.

Circus starts at eight so don't be late
A reference to the unnecessary distractions and meaningless events that take place in life.

Please be so kind not to wake me
The person does not want to be bothered or involved in trivial matters.

I think I'll just sit this one out
The person chooses not to participate in something that they know will not be beneficial or productive.

Well I'm too rolling stoned
The person is stuck in a cycle of negative behavior and consequences.

I'm too rolling stoned, yeah
The negative consequences of the person's actions continue to accumulate.

Like a rolling stone
A reference to the Bob Dylan song of the same name, which describes a person who has lost everything and is forced to start over.

Just, just, just like a rolling stone
The person is stuck in a cycle of negative behavior and consequences.

Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling stone
The negative consequences of the person's actions continue to accumulate.

Yeah, too rolling stoned
The person is stuck in a cycle of negative behavior and consequences.

Oh just like a rolling stone
The person is stuck in a cycle of negative behavior and consequences.
