Lyrics

Now here it is three o' clock in the mornin'

It's currently 3 o'clock in the morning

Can't even close my eyes

The singer is unable to sleep

Oh, three o' clock in the mornin', baby

Reiteration of the time (3 o'clock) and the inability to sleep

Can't even close my eyes

Continuation of the singer's sleeplessness

Well, I can't find my baby

The singer is unable to locate their significant other

Lord, and I can't be satisfied

Feeling restless and unsatisfied due to the absence of the loved one


Lord, I've looked around me

Expressing the search for the missing partner

Whoa, my baby can't be found

The singer can't seem to find their beloved

Whoa, looked all around me, people

Reiterating the search for the missing partner

Whoa, my baby can't be found

Reaffirmation that the loved one is nowhere to be found

Well, if I don't find my baby

If the singer doesn't locate their beloved, they'll go to a place where men gather

I'm goin' down to the boilin' ground, that's where the mens hang out

The singer is desperate to find their partner


Well, I'm bound to find her

The singer is determined to find their beloved

Yeah

Expression of determination

Come here, baby

An invitation or call to the beloved to come closer


Well, goodbye, everybody

The singer feels it might be the end of their relationship with everyone

Lord, I believe this is the end

Expressing a sense of finality and despair

Oh, goodbye, everybody

Reiteration of the feeling that it might be the end of everything

Lord, I believe this is the end

(No specific content)


Well, you can tell my baby

A message to deliver to the beloved if the singer doesn't return

To forgive me for my sins

Asking for forgiveness from the beloved for any wrongdoings
