I Can't Quit You Baby
Love's Struggle: Gary Moore's Emotional Journey in 'I Can't Quit You Baby'
Lyrics
I can't quit you, baby
I cannot break free from you, my love
But I've got to put you down for awhile
Despite my desire to move on, I need to distance myself from you temporarily
You know I can't quit you, baby
It's challenging for me to let go of you, my love
But I've got to put you down for awhile
Though I want to quit you, I must take a break for a while
Well, you messed up my happy home, babe
You've disrupted the happiness in my home
Made me mistreat my only child
Your actions have led me to mistreat my only child
You know I love you, baby
I have deep affection for you, my love
My love for you I could never hide
My love for you is something I cannot conceal
Yes, you know I love you, baby
Affirmation of love for you, my dear
My love for you I would never hide
I would never hide my love for you
Yes, you know you're the onliest one, darlin'
You are the only one for me, my darling
You're just my heart's desire
You are the one I deeply desire, the center of my heart
Well, I'm so tired I could cry
Expressing extreme fatigue, possibly from emotional strain
I could just lay down and die
Feeling so worn out that the thought of giving up is present
I'm so tired I could cry
Reiteration of intense exhaustion, contemplating surrender
I could just lay down and die
Feeling drained to the point of considering surrendering completely
You know I love you, baby
Reaffirmation of deep love for you
You're just my heart's desire
You are the one I desire with all my heart
When you hear me moanin' and groanin', baby
Expressing pain and distress audibly
You know it hurts me way down inside
The emotional pain is affecting me profoundly
When you hear me moanin' and groanin', baby
Reiterating the emotional distress caused by the situation
You know it hurts me way down inside
The emotional pain is penetrating deep within me
Yes, when you hear me holler, baby
Indicating that expressing distress vocally reveals the depth of emotions
You know you're my heart's desire
Affirmation that you are the central desire of my heart
