Think It Over
The Allisons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You crawl back tonight saying you miss me
With your tail between your legs
What's going on here ain't no mystery
Still, it's fun watching you beg
Settling down won't come natural
But think it over
I hear you found someone who's true
That she treats you fine
Now that poor girl's love won't do
And you're wanting some of mine
Settling down won't come natural
But think it over
I know why you cheat on me
(Always running 'round and 'round)
Every time I turn my back
(You'll never change)
Every woman loves a bit differently
(But hurts the same)
That's what keeps you going
That's what keeps you trapped
Don't tell me you've learned your lesson
Unless you really want to quit
It takes more than a confession
For an old dog to learn new tricks
Settling down won't come natural
But think it over
Ah ha, think it over
The Allisons's song "Think it over" is a classic break-up song filled with lines that are both cynical and filled with regret. The song is about a former lover who comes crawling back and begging for another chance. The singer of the song is not impressed and is clearly done with the relationship. The lyrics are filled with sarcasm as the singer tells the former lover to think it over before trying to come back. The singer knows that the former lover is not capable of settling down and committing, and they're just wasting their time and effort by trying.
Throughout the song, the singer expresses their frustration with the former lover's constant cheating and disrespect. They know that the former lover is not capable of change and that they will just end up hurting them again. The lyrics express a mixture of anger and sadness, as the singer struggles to come to terms with the fact that their relationship is truly over. The final lines of the song emphasize this point, as the singer tells the former lover that settling down won't come naturally to them, no matter how much they beg and plead.
Overall, "Think it over" is a powerful and emotional song that captures the pain and frustration of a toxic relationship. It's a song that could resonate with anyone who has struggled with letting go of someone who they know is not right for them.
Line by Line Meaning
You crawl back tonight saying you miss me
You come back tonight admitting that you miss me, despite your previous actions
With your tail between your legs
You come back ashamed and submissive, recognizing your wrongdoing
What's going on here ain't no mystery
The situation between us is clear and obvious, there's no confusion
Still, it's fun watching you beg
Despite your misdeeds, it brings me pleasure to see you plead for forgiveness
Settling down won't come natural
Committing to a stable relationship may be difficult for you
But think it over
Consider the implications and consequences of your behavior
I hear you found someone who's true
I've heard that you've found someone who is genuine and honest
That she treats you fine
She takes good care of you
Now that poor girl's love won't do
Unfortunately, your interest in me means that this other woman's love is not enough for you
And you're wanting some of mine
You desire my love and affection despite your previous transgressions
I know why you cheat on me
I understand the reasons behind your infidelity
(Always running 'round and 'round)
You have a history of constantly looking for new partners
Every time I turn my back
Whenever I'm not paying attention
(You'll never change)
You're unlikely to change your ways
Every woman loves a bit differently
All women express love in their own unique way
(But hurts the same)
However, the pain of betrayal and heartbreak is universal
That's what keeps you going
The excitement of exploring new relationships and experiences motivates you
That's what keeps you trapped
Yet, this same behavior also keeps you from forming a lasting connection with anyone
Don't tell me you've learned your lesson
Don't just say you've changed, prove it with your actions
Unless you really want to quit
If you're not truly committed to changing your ways, then don't bother trying
It takes more than a confession
Merely saying sorry is not enough
For an old dog to learn new tricks
Changing long-standing patterns and habits is difficult
Ah ha, think it over
Take time to reflect on your behavior and decide what you truly want out of a relationship
