It's All Over Now

The speaker describes a relationship that has ended after repeated hurt and betrayal. At first, he focuses on how his partner stayed out, spent his money, and made him cry. As the song develops, he presents the breakup as a reversal: now she is the one who will suffer. The repeated statement that he used to love her emphasizes that affection has become part of the past.

“Tables turn” is an idiom meaning that a situation changes and the person who once had power may lose it. The speaker uses it to suggest that his partner will now feel the pain he felt. “Every man in town” conveys his view that she is unfaithful, though it may be an exaggeration rather than a literal claim. Calling himself a “clown” suggests he feels foolish for trusting her or being used.

The lyrics mix heartbreak with anger and a sense of triumph. The speaker says the relationship is over, but his repeated focus on her behavior suggests he may not be entirely free of resentment. His claim that it is now her turn to cry could be a genuine expectation or a way to comfort himself. The song gives only his side of the story, so listeners cannot know how the other person would describe what happened.
