Lyrics
Well I'm gonna let you know
Expressing intention to communicate a decision or revelation.
My mind is made up
Firmly decided; resolved.
And I wanna go and I've been
Desire to go and contemplation of actions.
Thinking about what to do
Reflection on thoughts and considerations.
Been thinking about me, about me and you
Contemplation about oneself and the relationship with another person.
For a long time I've tried to find
Extended duration of attempting to discover a purpose.
A reason to stay here in this cage of mine
Feeling confined and exploring reasons to remain in a restrictive situation.
Well, I, I don't need no borderline
Rejection of limits or boundaries.
I, I don't need that fame of mine
Disinterest in personal acclaim or recognition.
Let me tell you
Introduction to forthcoming statements.
I don't need nobody nobody but me, mmm
Self-sufficiency emphasized; no reliance on others.
I don't want nobody nobody but me, nobody
Preference for solitude; rejection of external connections.
Now a year gone by and I want you back
Expression of yearning for a past connection.
This things that ever said
Recognition of past statements or actions.
But great seeing your neck
Observation of physical features, possibly associated with nostalgia.
Funny how I never ever saw before
Realization of overlooked details in the past.
I guess sometimes you got to
Acknowledgment of the necessity to leave a situation.
Walk out the door
Reflection on the inevitability of departure.
Don't it always seem to go
Reference to the common theme of underestimating value until lost.
You don't know what you've
Acknowledgment of the universal truth about underappreciating possessions.
Got till it's gone?
Reflection on the realization of the value after it's no longer present.
(Joni Mitchell never lies)
Humorous aside attributing wisdom to Joni Mitchell.
Don't you know it seem to go
Reiteration of the theme of undervaluing until absence.
I betcha you don't know what
Challenge to the listener's awareness of their own possessions.
You got till it's gone
Reiteration of the theme, emphasizing the lack of awareness.
(And Joni Mitchell never lies)
Humorous reaffirmation of Joni Mitchell's wisdom.
I do need somebody i need my baby, yeah
Affirmation of the need for a specific person (baby).
I do need somebody i need my baby
-I do need somebody i need my baby
-I do need somebody i need my baby
-I don't want, I don't want, I don't need
Rejection of wants and needs.
I don't want, I don't want, I don't need
-I don't want, I don't want, I don't want
-I don't want, I don't want, I don't want
-(Ah, Ah)
Expressive sound, possibly indicating realization or emotion.
I don't want no-, I
Rejection of an unspecified element.
I do need somebody
Reiteration of the need for a specific person (baby).
I need my baby, yeah, yeah, mmm
-I do need somebody i need my baby
