The Shape Youre In

Eric Clapton

Transposer:

From: "Money and Cigarettes" (1983) [Intro] | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [Verse] I took my baby to see a show. She was telling me she didn’t want to go. I said "Come on girl what’s the matter with you?" But I could tell by the smell that she’d had a few. [Pre-Chorus] Hold on girl don’t get too tight You started early and we’ve got all night. You’ve gotta take it easy take it slow. We don’t want the whole world to know [Chorus] About the shape you’re in Hey babe the shape you’re in. About the shape you’re in Hey girl the shape you’re in. [Interlude] | | | | | [Verse] My little girl really loves that wine. Wine will do it to her most everytime. If it’s red or it’s white or it’s in between She can drink more wine than I’ve ever seen. [Pre-Chorus] I said hold on girl don’t get too tight We started early and we’ve got all night. You’ve gotta take it easy take it slow. We don’t want the whole world to know [Chorus] About the shape you’re in Hey girl the shape you’re in. About the shape you’re in Come on girl the shape you’re in. [Solo] | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [Verse] Now I’m not tryin’ to get heavy with you. I’ll mind my own business if you want me to. But I love you girl I don’t love no one else. I’m just telling you baby ’cause I’ve been there myself. [Pre-Chorus] I said hold on girl don’t get too tight We started early and we’ve got all night. You’ve gotta take it easy take it slow. We don’t want the whole world to know [Chorus] About the shape you’re in Hey babe the shape you’re in. About the shape you’re in Come on girl the shape you’re in. [Chorus] About the shape you’re in Hey babe the shape you’re in. About the shape you’re in Come on girl the shape you’re in. [Outro] | | | | | (repeat and fade)

Cette chanson évoque les soucis d'un homme face à la distraire de sa partenaire qui semble un peu trop enjouée et légère, emportée par l'alcool. Il essaie de la ramener à la réalité tout en lui faisant des compliments et en lui rappelant de prendre son temps. Le ton est à la fois amusé et protecteur, soulignant une certaine complicité entre eux. Le contexte dépeint une soirée où l'ivresse légère peut rapidement mener à des situations cocasses, tout en mettant en lumière l'amour sincère de l'homme pour sa compagne. Il témoigne d’une expérience partagée, une sorte de rappel amical de ne pas trop se laisser emporter. C’est un moment où l'on savoure les petites joies tout en restant conscient des limites.
