Walter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know it ain't right to treat me like you do
When you don't want me to, do these things to you
You know it ain't right to treat me this-a way
You know it ain't right to treat me this-a way
Takes my money, and go off to play
You know it ain't right to say what you did
You know it ain't right to say what you did
You know it ain't right to stay out all night long
You know it ain't right to stay out all night long
I ain't got nobody, to carry my business on
In Walter's song "Ain't," the lyrics suggest a relationship with a partner who treats him with disrespect and disregard. Walter is making a plea to his partner, highlighting the wrongs done to him but also expressing that he still loves them despite these wrongs. The song speaks about the emotional turmoil of being in a one-sided relationship and the toll it takes on the individual. The lines, "takes my money, and go off to play" and "you've got another man, and you can't keep it hid" indicate that his partner is not faithful and takes advantage of Walter's love for them.
Walter's lyrics are a poignant reflection on the dynamics of love and relationships that are often overlooked in popular music. The song's repetitive structure emphasizes the recurring pattern of mistreatment, demonstrating the cyclical nature of toxic relationships.
