Every Night About This Time
Love's Turmoil: Every Night's Heartache in Fats Domino's Melody
Lyrics
Every night about this time
Expressing a specific time each night
I go to sleep to keep from cryin'
Using sleep as a coping mechanism to avoid crying
Every night about this time
Reiterating the nightly routine to escape sadness
I go to sleep to keep from cryin'
Repeating the act of sleeping to prevent tears
'Cause my baby
Referring to a significant other or partner
She always runnin' 'round
Expressing concern about the partner's unfaithfulness
Oh, can't you see what's wrong with me
Questioning if others can see the speaker's distress
I've cried and I've cried
Conveying deep emotional pain through repeated crying
'Cause I'm not satisfied, oh
Stating dissatisfaction and emotional emptiness
Oh, can't you see what's wrong with me
Reiterating the plea for understanding the speaker's pain
Yes, I'm afraid
Expressing fear of the inevitable breakup
I will have to let my baby be
Accepting the necessity of letting go of the partner
Yes, love is a thing that money can't buy
Highlighting the value of love over material possessions
If you don't have no one to love you
Emphasizing the importance of having someone to love
You might as well curl up and die, oh
Expressing the despair of a loveless existence
Oh, can't you see what's inside of me
Reiterating the internal emotional struggle
Yes, I'm afraid
Acknowledging the inevitability of letting go
I'm gonna have to let my baby be
Confirming the decision to release the partner
