Cover art for Lowdown lyrics by My Morning Jacket

Simple and short lyrics BUT

I relate to this song because, first of all, I love the tune.

Secondly, you can squeeze much out of the lyrics.

"Lowdown, cheatin', ain't no need for repeatin' so Love Dawg can't you see? That you never gotta fight with me."

He loves her in a "cheating" way. That is the Love Dawg part (it is not Love Doll, fyi). He is a lover, not a fighter.

"Hurtin', Beatin', ain't no need for repeatin' so Love Dawg can't you see? That you never gotta bleed for me."

He doesn't want her to "bleed" for him, meaning don't get too emotional about it all. He is saying no more hurting each other and no more beating each other up. He is not into harming her. "Stop the games".

"Chancin', Glancin', sho nuff mood for romancin' so Love Dawg can't you see? That you only gotta dance with me."

They have amazing romantic chemistry and like to stare at each other and take chances with each other. "Dancing" could mean connecting, engaging, playing, and/or simply taking part together in life somehow.

That is what this song has always meant to me.
