Hi Azizi and Melissa thanks for your replies.

I was wondering if "Red apple Juice" symbolizes the lover's (usually a woman and I'll use the song sung by a man for this example) sexual fluids or even love.

Basically saying "I've got no use for you now" which is regecting the lover's sexuality which is represented by "red apple juice."

So he leaves her and "rocking the cradle" either refers to his child or "rocking the cradle" also refers to the sex act (ask Billy Idol).

"Being laid in the shade" to me means: "murdering and burying" the lover.

"Take you to your Mama next payday" means: send you home becasue I can't deal with you anymore.

Anymore ideas?
