Story about this misheard lyric by: The Big Guy I first heard the song when I was a kid, and often misheard lyrics (Still do). Also as a kid, you usually don't have a blind clue just what the song is about. I thought back then that it was about some big butch guy simply telling some lesser mortal in no uncertain terms to not go back. I remember my mother's aunt Sadie being in my head each time I'd hear this song. (And don't ask me why, Guys. She just did, that's all.) |
