She'll Never Be Your Man Lyrics
The am finds me
Home alone awake in bed
The morning blinds me
Had that dream of you again
Fog is lifting,
I realize that you're not here
And how you left me
Life disappeared
Life is rejection
I know you've had your share
But this one's special
I can't compete with her
And did she tell you
Only she could know your mind?
And did she sell you
I gotta say it one time
She can be your lover,
She can be your friend,
She can be your vision of a mother
Like the one you never had
She will know your troubles
Better than I can
But she'll never be your man
She'll never be your man
She'll never be your man
She's got you thinking
Of a world where you might fit in
A whole lot better
Than the one you've been livin' in
And did she tell you
Only she could understand?
And did she sell you?
Only time will tell
She can be your lover,
She can be your friend,
She can be your vision of a mother
Like the one you never had
She will know your troubles
Better than I can
But she'll never be your man
She'll never be your man
She'll never be your man
Home alone awake in bed
The morning blinds me
Had that dream of you again
Fog is lifting,
I realize that you're not here
And how you left me
Life disappeared
I know you've had your share
But this one's special
I can't compete with her
And did she tell you
Only she could know your mind?
And did she sell you
I gotta say it one time
She can be your friend,
She can be your vision of a mother
Like the one you never had
She will know your troubles
Better than I can
But she'll never be your man
She'll never be your man
She'll never be your man
Of a world where you might fit in
A whole lot better
Than the one you've been livin' in
And did she tell you
Only she could understand?
And did she sell you?
Only time will tell
She can be your friend,
She can be your vision of a mother
Like the one you never had
She will know your troubles
Better than I can
But she'll never be your man
She'll never be your man
She'll never be your man

Well, this is a funny one. To me, it's about one of two possibilities: Either a heterosexual male has lost his girlfriend to another WOMAN, or a homosexual male has lost his male partner to a woman (i.e. his partner is going straight).
I suspect the latter, if only because the song is sung by a male, but more because of the first line of the second verse: "She's got you thinking/Of a world where you might fit in/A whole lot better than the one you've been living in." This refers, I would suspect, to the fact that homosexuals are often cast as misfits in society and face constant discrimination, so his male partner sees this chance to live a "normal" life by being with "her."
What do you all think?
p.s. I saw CC on Memorial Day this year, just a few days ago, and he did this song as the first part of his second encore. The show was GREAT
I saw CC on LV on 05/05 and he said this song was dedicated to one of the guitar players of the band who had some crush on a stripper that was dating another woman. Actually, the song refers to a man losing his wife to another woman.
Oh, really? Wow, zany
When you think about it, CCR, you were on the right track with that line, but it makes more sense the opposite way -- She'll "fit in" more with a homosexual community, rather than hiding her tendencies and pretend to be heterosexual.
The ultimate cock block huh?
