If I remember right Ann Wilson wrote the song about a Producer she had an affair with.
So the song has words in it on what she was feeling about him.
Here is what I am interpreting it as.
So this ain't the end - I saw you again today
Had to turn my heart away.............................."I can't deal with you anymore."
You smiled like the Sun - kisses for everyone......."You acted like nothing was wrong."
and tales - it never fails!.................................."Your talk...keeping others to listen to you
with all your stories and lies."
You lying so low in the weeds........................ "You think your going to just wait for me to come around again."
Bet you gonna ambush me..............................."I know you're going make another move on me."
You'd have me down on my knees.. ..................."And if I do fall for you, I just know that I will be a slave to you in our relationship."
Wouldn't you, Barracuda?................................."I'm right?"
Back over Time when we were all trying for free..................In the past, we were just being friendly with each other at the hang out place(bar?)
Met up with porpoise and me.............................................my friend that I hang out with.(the three of us all talking with each other.)
No right no wrong you're selling a Song .............."We knew you were all talk."
whisper game........................................"Of the three of us you would whisper..make me feel special.
If the real thing don't do the trick............................"If you can't talk right with me...take off."
You better make up something quick........................"Get real with me or I'm gone."
You gonna burn it out to the wick............................"this game is getting old."
aren't you, Barracuda?............................................."right?"
"Sell me sell you" the porpoise said............................(my friend) me or you for him?
Dive down deep to save my head..............................."I'm confused" she says to herself.
You... I think you got the blues too.............................(Porpoise)...confused also
All that night and all the next
Swam without looking back.......................................just wanted to get away from the situation
Made for the western pools -silly fools! ......................Life at the place (Bar)typical BS there and we all fall for it.
