Lyrics Breakdown

If I’ve told you once I’ve told you twice
I’m just here to unwind

Everyone has the power to say no to something that they don’t really want or like to do. This Lorrie Morgan-track empowers everyone especially women to say no if someone is being aggressive to them. Sometimes, people think that the world owes everything to them and they can take anything they want. That should not be the case and we must all learn to stand up for ourselves.

The song portrays a specific situation to us where the guy is trying to pick up the woman at a bar. She says no because she is not there to look for a quick one-night stand. She is there for herself, to unwind, and not think about her problems so it’s better to let her be.
