Lyrics
Got a fine looking woman
Expressing admiration for a beautiful woman
I call her, 'That gal of mine'
Referring affectionately to the woman as 'That gal of mine'
Yes, she's a fine looking woman
Reiterating the woman's attractiveness
I call her, 'That gal of mine'
Reaffirming the affectionate nickname for the woman
Yes, the reason I love her
Explaining the reason for love - her impeccable dressing
Because she is dressed so fine
Her fine attire is a significant factor in the speaker's affection
Well, she's a fine looking woman
Describing the woman's beauty again
And she lives across the town
Emphasizing that she lives far away in the town
Well, a fine looking woman
Reiterating her physical attractiveness and distant location
And she lives across the town
Indicating that the speaker's partner is attempting to leave him
Yeah, my baby's trying to leave me
Expressing concern about the partner's intention to break up
She's trying to put me down
Feeling hurt and rejected by the partner's actions
Hey, it's bye bye baby
Expressing a farewell to the departing partner
Bye bye and fare you well
Wishing the departing partner well in their future
Yeah, it's bye bye baby
Repeating the farewell sentiment
Bye bye and fare well
Reiterating good wishes for the departing partner
Well, what I'm gonna do now
Expressing uncertainty about what to do next after the departure
Baby, that's hard to tell
Feeling uncertain about future actions in the absence of the partner
Hey, it's bye bye
Repeating the 'bye bye' sentiment
Bye bye baby, bye
Continuing the farewell expression
Well, I'll go bye bye baby
Reiterating the intention to depart
Bye bye bye baby, bye bye
Continuing the repetitive farewell phrase
Yes, since you're gonna leave me
Accepting the partner's decision to leave without feeling the need to cry
I have no need to cry
Resigned to the departure and not expressing sadness
