Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm leavin' you woman....before i commit a crime
You the evilest woman....i think ever crossed my mind
You put poison in my coffee....instead of milk or cream
You poison my coffee....in with that milk and cream
You're the meanest woman....i think i've most ever seen
You mix my drink....with a can of red devil lye
Then you sit right down....watchin' me....hopin' i might die
You better be watchin' me baby....baby it was not my time
You better be watchin' me baby....just might be your time
The lyrics of Stee Wee Bee feat. Snyder and Ray's song "Leaving" portray a man who has finally decided to leave his woman whom he believes is evil and capable of hurting him. He fears that staying any longer with her would lead him to commit a crime, as she is the meanest woman that he has ever met. The man accuses her of putting poison in his coffee instead of milk or cream and mixes his drink with red devil lye, hoping that he might die. The final stanza of the song is a warning to the woman, as the man is leaving, but she can't be sure that he won't still hold a grudge and seek revenge.
The lyrics are straightforward, depicting the man's fear and mistrust of his partner. It is not clear what has happened in their relationship to cause such intense feelings of resentment and distrust, but it seems as though the man has been pushed to his limits by the woman's cruel and dangerous behavior. The song presents a cautionary tale of the dangers of staying in a toxic relationship and the potential consequences of ignoring warning signs.
