Sparkle Jump Rope Queen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody in the world can get along with you
You got the ways of a devil sleepin' in a lion′s den
I come home last night, you wouldn't even let me in
Well, sometimes you're as sweet as anybody want to be
When you get a crazy notion of jumpin′ all over me
Well, you give me the blues, I guess you′re satisfied
I helped you when you had no shoes on your feet, pretty mama
I helped you when you had no food to eat
You′re the kind of woman I just don't understand
You′re takin' all my money and give it to another man
Well, you′re that kind of woman, makes a man lose his brains
You're the kinda woman, drives a man insane
You give me the blues, I guess you're satisfied
You give me the blues, I wanna lay down and die
Well, you give me the blues, I wanna lay down and die
The lyrics of "1949" by Sparkle Jump Rope Queen express the complicated and tumultuous nature of a romantic relationship. The singer expresses confusion over their love for their partner, who they describe as difficult to get along with and having the ways of a devil. The partner is also described as being sweet at times but turning on the singer and making them feel blue. The singer also reflects on the ways in which they've supported their partner through tough times, but still can't seem to understand why their partner takes advantage of them by giving away their money to another man.
The song captures the emotional rollercoaster of being in love with someone who is both alluring and challenging. The singer is drawn to their partner's sweet side and their physical appeal, but ultimately feels drained and hurt by their actions. The use of bluesy instrumentation and repetition of the phrase "you give me the blues" emphasizes the depths of the singer's emotional pain.
Line by Line Meaning
Well, I don′t know why I love you like I do
I can't explain why I have feelings for you
Nobody in the world can get along with you
You are extremely difficult to deal with
You got the ways of a devil sleepin' in a lion′s den
You have a deceptive and dangerous nature
I come home last night, you wouldn't even let me in
You were not welcoming or accepting of me when I returned home
Well, sometimes you're as sweet as anybody want to be
Occasionally, you can be very kind and charming
When you get a crazy notion of jumpin′ all over me
However, your behavior can be erratic and aggressive
Well, you give me the blues, I guess you′re satisfied
Your actions cause me great emotional distress and you seem to enjoy it
An' you give me the blues, I wanna lay down and die
The pain you cause me is overwhelming and makes me feel hopeless
I helped you when you had no shoes on your feet, pretty mama
I provided for you when you were in need
I helped you when you had no food to eat
I also provided for your basic needs when you were struggling
You′re the kind of woman I just don't understand
Despite my efforts, I still cannot comprehend your behavior and motives
You′re takin' all my money and give it to another man
You are betraying my trust and taking my resources to give to someone else
Well, you′re that kind of woman, makes a man lose his brains
Your influence and behavior can make a man act irrationally
You're the kinda woman, drives a man insane
You have a toxic impact on a man's mental state
You give me the blues, I guess you're satisfied
Once again, your behavior causes me great emotional distress and you seem to find pleasure in it
You give me the blues, I wanna lay down and die
The pain and suffering you cause me is unbearable and makes me want to give up
