Lyrics
Guess I got what I deserved
Expressing acknowledgment of deserving consequences.
Kept you waiting there too long, my love
Acknowledging a delay and apologizing for keeping the loved one waiting.
All that time, without a word
Highlighting a period of silence without communication.
Did you really think that I'd forget
Questioning if the loved one believed forgetting was possible.
And regret
Emphasizing the emotional impact of the past actions.
The special love I have for you
Affirming the enduring and unique love for the person referred to as "baby blue."
My baby blue
Reiterating the endearing term for the loved one.
All those days became so long
Reflecting on the prolonged days without the loved one.
Did you really think I'd do you wrong?
Challenging the assumption of wrongdoing, asserting loyalty.
Dixie, when I let you go
Addressing a specific moment of letting go, using the name "Dixie."
Thought you'd realize I would know
Expecting realization of the speaker's understanding.
I would show
Intending to demonstrate the depth of love.
The special love I have for you
Reaffirming the profound affection for the loved one.
My baby blue
Repeated expression of endearment, emphasizing the emotional connection.
What can I do? What can I say?
Pleading for guidance on actions and words to win back the loved one.
Except I want you by my side
Expressing the desire to have the loved one close.
How can I show you? Show me the way
Asking for guidance on how to express love effectively.
Don't you know the times I've tried?
Highlighting repeated attempts to win back the loved one.
Guess that's all I have to say
Concluding the message, possibly indicating the completeness of thoughts.
Except the feeling just grows stronger everyday
Expressing the intensification of feelings over time.
Just one thing before I go
Preparing to leave, leaving a parting message.
Take good care, baby, let me know
Encouraging the loved one to take care and communicate.
Let it grow
Encouraging the growth of the emotional connection.
The special love you have for me
Acknowledging the special love the loved one has for the speaker.
My Dixie dear
Repeating the endearing term, possibly for a final emphasis.
