Follow Me

By Uncle Kracker

If you haven't heard this song I still advise you to read.

LYRIC CRITICS TIME
<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">You don't know how you met me 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Uncle Kracker, if she doesn't remember how she met you I believe she isn't worth your time then.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">All you know is when I'm with you,  <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">I make you free 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''Free? From what? Free from a kidnapper's house? Free from prison?'''

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''That's a way of saying, "I'll never let you go". How about next you say, "I'll be your feet and you'll be the shoe", or something similar. You dig? No? You don't like? Then stop.'''

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">I'll be the one to tuck you in at night 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''Usually you don't tuck your girlfriend/wife/anyone into bed after they're like, over 10 years old. Maybe 9 years old, but 10 years is the limit. Seriously. Please tell me this is like a figurative line and not about a minor. Oh, please, Uncle Kracker, tell me it's a figurative line.'''

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">And if you <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">,  <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Want to leave I can guarantee <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">,  <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">You won't find nobody else like me 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''I personally woud consider that a blessing in disguise. Why? I don't know, maybe because she might not want tucked in?'''

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">I'm not worried 'bout the ring you wear 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">So the song takes a twist - not only is it abuot a minor, but it's about a married minor.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">You're feelin' guilty and I'm well aware,  <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">But baby I'm not scared 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''That's great and dandy that you're not scared, but as the almighty Spaghetti Monster Billie Joe Armstrong once said, "Everyone's heart doesn't beat the same", meaning just because you aren't scared doesn't mean she isn't. Like, people such as Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy and Andrei Chikatilo could kill anyone, from 1 - 80 years old, and feel no remorse, while pacifists* such as I don't like that, we'd probably feel really guilty, don't you think? So maybe you've done this before. Maybe you are a homewrecker. Who knows? Only the people who have caught you. And that's another thing, I'm going to criticize a line right before this "guilty" line.'''

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Cuz as long as no one knows then nobody can care 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''News Flash, dick biscuit. There's this groovy thing called a consciousness that tells you whether to care or not, kill people or not, burn people or not, greet people or not, you get the drift. So this line should read, "Cuz as long as your conscious is tamed then nobody can care."'''

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Won't give you money 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">"My name's Uncle Kracker and I can't give you money, but I am in fact certified to be able to tuck you in at night, if that substitutes our money situation properly."

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">We'll be all right if you don't ask me to stay 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Yea, like a week later, you'll probably drug her food, then do all kinds of nasty things.
