Gone Baby Bye Bye
Chasing Love's Vanishing Act: Bobby Jr.'s Quest
Lyrics
Well she's got the kind of looks that drives a man insane.
Describing the irresistible physical attractiveness of the woman.
Givinall your lovin´ and she gets stuck in your brain.
Expressing the captivating effect of her love on a man's mind.
You can never win her, not even with silver or chrome
Indicating that material wealth cannot win her affection.
Cuz early in the morning she sure is gone.
She leaves early in the morning, suggesting a transient or elusive nature.
Well she might have been a baby maybe a bit too young.
Suggesting she might have been young but not promiscuous.
But she wasn't the kind gal who used to fool around
Highlighting her fidelity and lack of interest in casual relationships.
I met her one night and sure I took her home.
Narrating a night spent together, but she disappears in the morning.
But early in the morning she was gone.
Reiterating her tendency to leave early in the morning.
Gone gone baby baby gone bye
Repeating the theme of her departure, emphasizing her absence.
Bye bye baby gone bye
Further emphasizing her departure with a farewell expression.
I´m gonna get that girl before I die
Expressing determination to win her over despite challenges.
Well I met her once again, Another year had passed.
Meeting her again after a year and resolving not to lose her.
Wasn't about to lose her, had to make it fast.
Feeling a sense of urgency to secure the relationship.
But I screwed it all up one night in the town.
Acknowledging a mistake made during a night out that led to her leaving.
And early in the morning she was gone.
Highlighting her consistent pattern of leaving in the morning.
She took me right back, but I couldn't make her stay.
She comes back, but the narrator struggles to make her stay.
She met another guy and they drove away
She finds another partner, and they leave together.
In the middle of the night She made me wait by the phone
Waiting for her call, but she leaves early in the morning again.
And early in the morning she was gone.
Repeating the theme of her consistent departure.
Gone gone baby baby gone bye
Reiteration of her departure, emphasizing the emotional impact.
Bye bye baby gone bye
Further emphasizing her departure with a farewell expression.
I´m gonna get that girl before I die
Expressing determination to win her over before the narrator's death.
I´m gonna get that girl before I die
Repeating the determination to win her over before the narrator dies.
