i told you that you would put on some weight,
you went out with somebody named kevin green,
you preferred to go to a volleyball game,
i told you that you couldn't be more lame

no way, we ain't gonna break up
we made a promise and our will won't fade out
not just in '08 and '09
we'll be together from now until the end of time
you've got the Shirley Applebee look
i'm totally caught up on your hook
you know that we are gonna be ok
we'll stick together as we're tripping down the freeway

you withheld the physical love i need
i said, "hey, that i'm gonna play the field"
you broke down and told me you loved me true
i said, "girl, i gotta be with you"

no way, we ain't gonna break up
we made a promise and our will won't fade out
not just in '09 and '10
we'll be together from now until the very end
you've got the Shirley Applebee look
i'm totally caught up on your hook
you know that we are gonna be ok
we'll stick together as we're tripping down the freeway

no way, we ain't gonna break up
we made a promise and our will won't fade out
not just in oh-ten and oh-eleven
we'll be together from now until we're up in heaven
you've got the Shirley Applebee look
i'm totally caught up on your hook
you know that we are gonna be ok
we'll stick together as we're tripping down the freeway

tripping down the freeway!
tripping down the freeway!
tripping down the freeway!
tripping down the freeway!

    General Comment:Cute song, and pretty inspirational(well, to me). It makes me want to give my relationship another chance, unbeknownst, though, to my boyfriend that I was giving up in the first place :b

    General Comment:The freeway is the road life and love, as Geemers said. It's not a smooth, easy road though. There are gonna be bumps and potholes along the way that may trip you up and have you stumbling, but a couple has to learn to get back up and keep going, no matter how many times they fall.

    My Interpretation:This song is about getting married and being committed to that person, ie "we made a promise and our will won't fade out" the second meaning of the song is living your life with that person. Tripping down the freeway is the road of life and love. Thats what i got out of the song

    General Comment:My interpretation of the meaning for "trippin down the freeway" is a couple yelling while driving...I've been there and I can relate to that. He just knows it's going to be ok although they are fighting? Just a shot in the dark here...

    General Comment:So I know that there's a Shiri Appleby, but is Shirley Appleby a real person too?

    And I think the line should read "Hey, that I'm going to play THE field", like date around, not play baseball.

    I think it's a nice set of lyrics, about staying in a committed relationship, even if you don't want to all the time, because you made a commitment and you feel you should stick to it.

    Also, the oh-ten and oh-eleven stuff is hilarious.

    No idea what the phrase "Trippin' down the freeway" might mean though.
