Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And Im stuck working late all the time
When I finally get home on the weekend
shes crown royal, drinking all the time.
Now Im suspicious that shes catn around
But shes promised me shes working till midnight
I need her love and its making me crazy
Im telling you
Even if you come crawling back on your hands
Begging me to give you a second chance
You left me alone and you put out the flame
Im falling apart
Im leaving tonight
Im falling down drunk all the time
When I think about the things you would say to me
When it all comes back in your face
Youll realize that you done me wrong
Even if you come crawling back on your hands
Begging me to give you a second chance
I dont have to fight cause youve beaten it out of me
You were running around with another man
Either way, you are the only one
Im telling you
The Milwaukees's song Crown Royal is about a man's suspicion that his partner is cheating on him. He loves her, but he is always working late, which is creating a sense of distance in their relationship. When he finally sees her on weekends, she is always drinking and getting drunk on Crown Royal. The man begins to feel paranoid and imagines that she's seeing someone else while he's away. Though she tells him she is working late, he is left questioning her fidelity. The man needs her love and it's driving him crazy to be away from her during the week. She's taking him for granted, and he's feeling pushed out of her life. He warns her that even if she comes back, crawling on her hands and begging for a second chance, he won't have anything to do with her anymore.
The lyrics of the song evoke a sense of betrayal and despair, as the man is ready to leave the relationship. He's fallen apart, and the thought of the things she would say to him is making him fall down drunk all the time. He knows she's done him wrong, and he won't fight or argue with her because she has already beaten him mentally. Ultimately though, despite the pain she has caused him, he still loves her and sees her as the only one for him.
