Don't gimmee those red eyes
Cause I'm not buying your just selling sympathy
Go hang out with the bar flies
You've been keeping company forget about me

You promised me your love but you never did give it
You only loaned it out till you
Wanted it back
Slap me in the face then you get me
To forgive you only to knock me down a(gain)

You put me right through it,
You little Delilah
You poisoned my mind but my
Heart got free
While you were out dealing I suffered
So silently inside of me

You promised me your love but you never did give it
You only loaned it out till you
Wanted it back
Slap me in the face then you get me
To forgive you only to knock me down a(gain)

Don't gimmee those red eyes
You're making me angry
You always try and change the scene around
By making me the heavy
But soon you will come tumblin' down
The merry go round

You promised me your love but you never did give it
You only loaned it out till you
Wanted it back
Slap me in the face then you get me
To forgive you only to knock me down again

Don't gimmee those red eyes
Don't gimmee those red eyes
Don't gimmee those red eyes

Interpretation

You've pulled my heart strings one too many time by crying (red eyes) to get your way.  You're like Delilah, who caused Samson's downfall by pretending to be sad or hurt as a way to manipulate him (Judges 16).
