Sharleena
Longing for Sharleena: A Decade of Love and Loss
Lyrics
I'm cryin'
I am expressing sadness or distress.
I'm cryin'
Continuation of the expression of sadness or distress.
Cryin' for Sharleena.
Expressing deep emotional pain for someone named Sharleena.
Can't you see
Asking if the listener can perceive or understand.
I called up all my baby's friends
Describing an action of reaching out to Sharleena's friends.
'N ask'n um
Asking and inquiring about Sharleena's whereabouts from her friends.
Where she done went.
Expressing uncertainty about where Sharleena has gone.
But nobody 'round here seems to know,
Noticing a lack of knowledge about Sharleena's location among the local community.
Where my Sharleena's been.
Reiterating the uncertainty and concern about Sharleena's absence.
Where my Sharleena's been.
Repeating the emotional distress and confusion about Sharleena's whereabouts.
Ten long years I have been lovin' here
Expressing a decade-long period of love for Sharleena.
Ten long years
Reiterating the length of time dedicated to loving Sharleena.
And I thought deep down in my heart
Believing in the depth of the emotional connection to Sharleena.
She was mine.
Expressing a sense of possession or commitment to Sharleena.
Ten long years I have been lovin' here
Repeating the duration of the love for Sharleena.
Ten long years and I would call her my baby, and now,
Affirming the emotional attachment to Sharleena and acknowledging her as "baby."
I'm always cryin'.
Continuation of the expression of ongoing sadness.
I would be so delighted.
Expressing a strong desire or happiness if Sharleena were to return.
I would be so delighted.
Repeating the expression of joy upon Sharleena's return.
If they would just
Expressing a wish for Sharleena to be sent back home.
Send her on home to me
Reiterating the desire for Sharleena to be returned.
