Lyrics
(dokken, lynch)
The song is credited to Dokken and Lynch.
Oh yeah
An exclamation expressing emphasis or agreement.
Listen to me
A request for attention or validation before a statement.
Baby you've changed
Observation that the partner has undergone a noticeable change.
You don't see it
Implying the partner is oblivious to their own transformation.
I don't understand
Expressing confusion regarding the partner's altered behavior.
When I'm with you girl
While together with the partner, sensing something unusual.
Somethings going on
An intimation that a change is occurring, yet unable to define it.
I can't explain this
Difficulty in rationalizing or understanding the situation.
But baby I've never changed
Asserting personal consistency, implying partner's change.
So it must be you
Reiterating the belief in personal consistency, implying partner's change.
Baby I've never changed
Restating the assertion of personal consistency amid perceived partner's change.
So it must be you, yeah
Reaffirmation of personal consistency, attributing change to the partner.
Must be you
Emphasizing the association of change with the partner.
We're going wrong
Declaring a realization that the relationship is veering off course.
We're going wrong
Repetition emphasizing the acknowledgment of the relationship's deviation.
Baby you have changed
Reiteration of the partner's perceived alteration.
And you don't see it
Implying partner's obliviousness to their change.
I don't understand
Reiterating confusion regarding partner's altered behavior.
When I'm with you girl
Sensing an abnormality when together with the partner.
Baby I haven't changed
Stating personal consistency, attributing change to the partner.
So it must be you
Reaffirming personal stability, attributing change to the partner.
It must be you
Emphasizing attribution of change to the partner.
Baby I have changed
Admitting personal change, attributing it to the partner's influence.
So it must be you, yeah
Reiteration of personal alteration, attributing it to the partner.
Must be you
Emphasizing the attribution of personal change to the partner.
But it isn't me
Denial of personal responsibility for the situation.
It always happens
Statement of a recurring pattern of events.
It always happens to me (repeat)
Emphasizing the recurrence of the pattern in the speaker's life.
Baby I'm gonna leave you
Declaring the intent to end the relationship due to unbearable circumstances.
I can't ttake this anymore
Expressing inability to tolerate the situation any longer.
'cause
Stating a reason for the impending departure.
We're going wrong
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the relationship's deviation.
I can't take this anymore
Expressing an inability to endure the current situation further.
We're going wrong
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of the relationship's deviation.
I'm gonna leave you baby
Declaring the intention to leave the partner due to the deviation in the relationship.
We're going wrong
Reaffirmation of the acknowledgment of the relationship's deviation.
Bye bye baby
Bidding farewell to the partner due to the relationship's divergence.
We're going wrong
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of the relationship's deviation.
Bye bye
A final farewell indicating the end of the relationship.
