Domino
Rodes Rollins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've got me feeling like a wild one
He thinks I'm crazy
I've just gotta get it when the storm comes
You're like a domino, domino, domino
Can't wait to see you go, see you go, see you go
Push you down in a row, in a row, in a row
Ooh baby, baby
You've just gotta hit it like a home run
Lying for miles
Give 'em what they want until it's all done
All done, all done
You're like a domino, domino, domino
Can't wait to see you go, see you go, see you go
Push you down in a row, in a row, in a row
Just like a domino
You're like a domino, domino, domino
Can't wait to see you go, see you go, see you go
Push you down in a row, in a row, in a row
Just like a domino
You're like a domino, domino, domino
Can't wait to see you go, see you go, see you go
Push you down in a row, in a row, in a row
Just like a domino
In Rodes Rollins's song "Domino," the lyrics seem to be speaking about a woman who thrives on chaos and unpredictability. The opening line "Ohh lady, lady" seems to present the singer as being in some sort of awe or admiration of this wild woman. The phrase "You've got me feeling like a wild one" suggests that being around this woman has allowed the singer to tap into a side of themselves that is unrestrained and daring.
The following lines "He thinks I'm crazy / I've just gotta get it when the storm comes" suggest that whoever "he" is (presumably someone close to the singer) is concerned about the singer's behavior, but that the singer feels drawn to the drama that this woman creates. The repeated lines "You're like a domino, domino, domino / Can't wait to see you go, see you go, see you go / Push you down in a row, in a row, in a row / Just like a domino" seem to be an analogy for the way this woman's actions affect those around her - once she starts something, everything falls in line behind her in a cascading series of events.
Later in the song, the line "You've just gotta hit it like a home run" suggests that this woman is someone who is constantly striving for success or recognition, and the line "Give 'em what they want until it's all done" seems to reinforce the idea that she is a thrill-seeker who is only satisfied when she's pushed everything to its limits. Overall, the lyrics of "Domino" paint a picture of a woman who is magnetic, exciting, and dangerous, and the singer seems unable to resist being drawn into her world.
