Discover the story of the song > Lean on Sheena – Avoid One Thing

The lyrics are about a person who mistreated their romantic partner (referred to as "she") and their partner's mother didn't approve of it. The person may have been drunk and behaved badly, causing the neighbors to complain. Despite the mistreatment, the protagonist's partner still relies on them a lot and they should hold on to what they have. The lyrics emphasize that the person should change their behavior and leave the keys behind when they go to the bar. They are currently drinking and trying to find money in their friend's car. Regardless of the mistakes they made, their partner still leans on them for support and they should cherish what they have.
