Lyrics

I hate to see that evening sun go down

Expresses sadness at the end of the day

I hate to see that evening sun go down

Reiterates the sorrow of the sun setting

'Cause the woman I'm loving, she has left this town

The singer's lover has departed from the town

If I'm feeling tomorrow just like I feel today

Contemplates feelings remaining unchanged

If I'm feeling tomorrow just like I feel today

Repeats the uncertainty about emotional state

I'm gonna pack my bags and make a getaway

Considers leaving or escaping

St. Louis woman without your diamond ring

Highlights the absence of a prized possession (diamond ring)

If you didn't have good looks, you wouldn't mean a thing

Suggests the superficial value placed on appearance

If it was not for powder and your super hair

Critiques reliance on cosmetics or enhancements

Without the man who loves you, you wouldn't get nowhere nowhere

Emphasizes the importance of the singer's love for the woman
