Call Me
A Melodic Plea for Connection: Aretha Franklin's 'Call Me' Meaning Unveiled
Lyrics
I love you (I love you)
I express my love for you
And I love you (I love you)
Reaffirmation of love
And I love you too (and I love you)
Additional affirmation of love
Baby, will you call me the moment you get there?
Request for a call upon arrival
Hey, baby, um-hum
Endearing term, expressing affection
I love you (I love you)
Reiteration of love
And I love you (I love you)
Confirmation of affection
And I love you too (and I love you)
Continued affirmation of love
Baby, will you call me the moment you get there?
Repeat of the request for a call
Hey, baby, um-hum
Reiteration of endearing term
Call me (the moment)
Explicit request to be called
The moment (you get there)
Emphasis on the timing of the call
You get there? Yeah, yeah, baby, yeah
Expression of anticipation and excitement
My dearest, my dearest of all darling (ah-ooo)
Endearing expression, emphasizing closeness
I know, I know, I know, I know we've got to part (ah-ooo)
Acknowledgment of an impending separation
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Repetition of endearing term
It really doesn't hurt me that bad yeah (ah-ooo)
Minimization of emotional pain
Because you're taking me with you
Positive outlook, emphasizing connection
And I'm keeping you right-a here in my heart
Commitment to keeping the loved one in the heart
It's all because I love you (I love you)
Reiteration of love
Woo-hoo, and I love you (I love you)
Expression of enthusiasm for the loved one
And I love you too (and I love you)
Continued affirmation of love
Baby, will you call me the moment you get there, baby?
Repeat of the request for a call
Will you do that? Will you do that for me now?
Additional plea for a call with emotional appeal
Call me (the moment)
Reiteration of the explicit request for a call
The moment (you get there)
Emphasis on the timing of the call
You get there? Yeah, yeah, baby, yeah
Expression of anticipation and excitement
Call me (the moment)
Reiteration of the explicit request for a call
The moment (you get there)
Emphasis on the timing of the call
You get there? Yeah, yeah, baby, yeah

Call me (the moment)
Reiteration of the explicit request for a call
The moment (you get there)
