Written for a new musical Catey Shaw intends to write called “Wally”, this song is taken from the point of view of a painter’s wife as she speaks about the affair he’s having, and the woman involved.
[Verse 1]
I’m not saying that I’d hurt a woman
But I understand it
But I understand it
I’d never take a [?] with action
But in my mind I planned it
In my mind I planned it
Before you come around, there’s something you should know
It’s no longer safe for you to keep on fighting this war
[Pre-Chorus]
You think you got your claws in him
But clearly you’re confused
If you’re going toe-to-toe with me, you’re gonna lose
[Chorus]
‘Cause bitch, it’s a new day
It’s a new, it’s a new, it’s a new day
I’ll defend the one I love if you bring push to shove
It’s gonna be your last day, so be sure that you’re watching what you say
I’ll defend the one I love
Defend the one I love
[Verse 2]
I wouldn’t say that I got a short temper
But you know I lash out
But you know I lash out
I know what you were last December
But it’s a different time now
It’s a different time now
Before you come around, you better watch your mouth
I’m sorry that you missed your chance with him
But he’s mine now
[Pre-Chorus]
You think you got your claws in him
But clearly you’re confused
If you’re going toe-to-toe with me, you’re gonna lose
[Chorus]
‘Cause bitch, it’s a new day
It’s a new, it’s a new, it’s a new day
I’ll defend the one I love if you bring push to shove
It’s gonna be your last day, so be sure that you’re watching what you say
I’ll defend the one I love
Defend the one I love
[Bridge]
As the morning light
Shines on her new day
And the birds, they sing
A song of knowing
He said his goodbyes
And now the sun will rise
[Chorus]
Bitch, it’s a new day
It’s a new, it’s a new, it’s a new day
I’ll defend the one I love if you bring push to shove
It’s gonna be your last day, so be sure that you’re watching what you say
I’ll defend the one I love
Defend the one I love
