I Just Wanna
Webb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now honey I just can't be true
I got a rambling feeling in my shoes
My heart tells me that I'm the roving kind

Well my feet start itching more and more
Every time a pretty girl passed my door
So good gal here's what I want to do
I wanna play the field and lead a happy life
Without a thought of worry or a nagging wife
Let's settle this thing and say we're through
'Cause honey baby I just can't be true

If I loved you like I know I really should
Well I'd wanna be good yes I know I would
But I just can't seem to ever wanna stay at home

I hate to hurt your feelings and I hope I don't
If you feel like me then I'm sure I won't
I've got a mind of my own and I know just what I want

I wanna play the field and lead a happy life
Without a thought of worry or a care in sight




Let's settle this thing and say we're through
'Cause honey baby I just can't be true

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Webb Pierce's song "I Just Can't Be True" tells the story of a man who is unable to be faithful to his partner due to his wandering nature. He admits to having a "rambling feeling" and an "itching" whenever he sees other women, which makes it difficult for him to remain committed to his lover. He also acknowledges that he has the desire to lead a carefree life without any nagging or worries, a life that he believes is impossible to have while being in a committed relationship. The singer claims to have a "mind of his own" and that he knows what he wants, which is to play the field and not be tied down.


The song deals with the theme of infidelity and the desire for freedom, which are recurrent themes in country music. The singer is torn between his love for his partner and his need for independence, and he ultimately decides that he cannot be true to her. The song portrays the dilemma faced by many people in relationships, and explores the reasons why some people find it hard to stay faithful.

Now honey I just can't be true
I am not capable of being faithful


I got a rambling feeling in my shoes
I have an urge to travel and explore


My heart tells me that I'm the roving kind
My heart tells me that I am not meant to settle down


Well my feet start itching more and more
My urge to travel and explore is increasing


Every time a pretty girl passed my door
I am attracted to other women


So good gal here's what I want to do
I want to break up with my girlfriend


I wanna play the field and lead a happy life
I want to date multiple women and not have any commitments


Without a thought of worry or a nagging wife
I don't want to worry about being faithful or having a wife nag me


Let's settle this thing and say we're through

If I truly loved you, I would want to be faithful


Well I'd wanna be good yes I know I would
I want to be faithful, but I can't seem to help my wandering tendencies


But I just can't seem to ever wanna stay at home
I cannot seem to stay in one place for too long

If you also want to break up, then it's for the best


I've got a mind of my own and I know just what I want
I am aware of my own desires and needs

I appreciate Imam Suhaib Webb.. As an American Muslim his role as a leader is immense. Practicing your deen and being an American can go hand in hand and brother Suhaib is a model! May Allah increase his knowledge, his influence and his strength. Ameen

Abu Bilaal

This is an amazing lecture! He talked about 'social capital.' In Makkah the messenger of God (peace be upon him) had significant social capital i.e. he looked after the orphans, he fed the poor etc He was known for his good works to such an extent that he was called al Ameen, the trustworthy. It was very easy for people to believe in his message because his character was known, he had 'social capital.'
