I Said Babe
Love's Journey: I Said Babe by 500 Miles To Memphis
Lyrics
At a basement show in a backwoods town, I found you.
Discovering you at a small concert in a rural area.
I took your hand, you stole my heart, and I knew right then.
Taking a romantic interest in you, feeling a connection instantly.
That you'd be my June and I'd be your Johnny.
Expressing a commitment, envisioning a romantic relationship like Johnny Cash and June Carter.
You get more flies with honey so easy beginning, but I can't finish a thought now.
Starting smoothly, but struggling to articulate thoughts now.
I can't take my eyes off of your prize.
Fascinated by you and unable to look away.
I want you so bad and I said babe.
Expressing a strong desire and addressing affectionately with "babe."
Do you want me now?
Asking if the affection is reciprocated.
I said babe.
Reaffirming the desire and endearment with "babe."
Floating in the clouds.
Feeling euphoric and carefree, possibly in love.
I said babe.
Reiterating the desire and affection using "babe."
When we come back down, when we hit the ground, will you want me
Raising a question about commitment and love when facing challenges.
In a hotel bed in a backwoods town, I held you.
Recalling a moment of intimacy in a hotel bed.
I took your hand and kissed your face and made a vow.
Expressing affection and making a serious commitment.
I'd give you the moon but it won't be easy.
Symbolically promising the unattainable ("give you the moon").
We will fight, we will hate, we will love, we will stay.
Acknowledging that the relationship will have ups and downs.
We'll find a way to make it work.
Committing to finding solutions and making the relationship work.
I can't take my eyes off of your thighs.
Expressing physical attraction.
I want you so bad and I said babe.
Repeating the strong desire with endearment ("babe").
Do you want me now?
Checking if the affection is reciprocated at the moment.
I said babe.
Reiterating the desire and endearment with "babe."
Floating in the clouds.
Feeling elevated and blissful, possibly in love.
I said babe.
Expressing the desire and asking if it's heard ("Can you feel that sound?").
Can you feel that sound?
Posing a question about the emotional resonance.
I said babe.
Reiterating the desire with a query about being heard ("Can you hear me now?").
Can you hear me now?
Asking if the message is received.
I said babe.
Reiterating the strong desire and questioning the reciprocation.
Do you want me now?
Checking if the affection is present at the moment.
I said babe.
Reiterating the desire and endearment with "babe."
Floating in the clouds.
Feeling elevated and blissful, possibly in love (repeated theme).
I said babe.
Reiterating the desire and asking about it when facing challenges.
When we come back down, when we hit the ground, will you want me? Well, I said babe.
Reiterating the question about wanting the speaker after facing challenges.
