Lyrics
Whenever I try to hold my baby
Expressing an attempt to embrace or connect with the speaker's romantic partner.
She just stand there for a while
Describing the partner's passive or unresponsive behavior when approached.
No matter how I try to please that woman
Highlighting the speaker's efforts to satisfy the partner without success.
She won't even crack a smile
Emphasizing the partner's lack of positive response or happiness.
Lord, maybe you in heaven can help me
Seeking divine intervention or guidance in dealing with the difficult partner.
'Cause this is one evil child
Labeling the partner as "evil," suggesting challenging or troublesome behavior.
Oh, I say maybe, maybe somebody can help me
Expressing a plea for assistance from anyone who may be able to help with the situation.
Because this is one evil child
Reiterating the characterization of the partner as difficult or problematic.
When I buy her flowers or candy
Describing unsuccessful attempts to please the partner with gifts.
She just looks at me and growls
Portraying the partner's negative reaction to gestures of affection.
She say, "You must be guilty or have a guilty conscience, buddy"
Attributing the partner's response to suspicion or distrust.
Because I'm convicted without a trial
Feeling judged or condemned without a fair evaluation, possibly in the context of the relationship.
She just grunts when I call baby, hmm one evil child
Describing the partner's unenthusiastic response when addressed with affectionate terms.
I said, "Lord, maybe you can help me, because she's a strange and evil child"
Repeating the plea for divine assistance due to the partner's challenging nature.
Still, I'm tryin' to please my woman but she's 'bout to drive me wild
Expressing ongoing efforts to please the partner despite difficulties.
I buy her hundred-dollar dresses, people
Highlighting the speaker's significant efforts, such as buying expensive gifts, to satisfy the partner.
Still she complains about the style
Illustrating the partner's continuous dissatisfaction, even with high-value gifts.
Won't somebody give me a suggestion?
Seeking advice or suggestions from others to cope with the challenges posed by the partner.
Help me with this evil child
Reiterating the plea for assistance in dealing with the difficult partner.
Oh, maybe the Lord in heaven above can help me
Invoking divine intervention once again as a possible solution to the difficulties faced.
'Cause, I'll tell you, she's an evil child
Emphasizing the challenging and troublesome nature of the partner.
