Why Baby Why
Heartache Harmony: Unraveling the Emotional Tale in 'Why Baby Why'
Lyrics
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
Troubled by the actions, seeking reasons for the behavior
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby
Expressing emotional distress caused by the actions
Lord, I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
Despite the hardship caused, there's an unwavering love
So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby why
Reiterating the quest for an explanation for the behavior
Well I got a crow I want to pick with you
Metaphorically referring to a dispute or argument
Just like last time when the feathers flew
Recalling a past conflict where emotions ran high
You're runnin' wild kickin' up your heels
Describing wild and carefree behavior
A-leavin' me home with a hand full of bills
Feeling neglected and burdened with responsibilities
Lord, I can't live without you and you know it's true
Admitting dependence despite difficulties in the relationship
But there's no livin' with you so what'll I do
Expressing the dilemma of staying in the relationship
I'm goin' honky tonkin', get as tight as I can
Escaping reality through revelry
And maybe by then you'll 'preciate a good man
Hoping for appreciation after letting loose
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
Repeating the plea for an explanation
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby cry
Reiterating the emotional distress caused
No, I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
Reaffirming the enduring love despite challenges
So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
Continuing the search for reasons behind actions
Well, now I don't know, but I've heard say
Referencing a saying about everyone getting their moment
That ever' little dog is a-gonna have his day
Implying that everyone will have consequences for their actions
You'd better pay attention, don't you dare forget
Warning to pay attention to the repercussions
'Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy yet
Comparing oneself to a naive and inexperienced entity
Well, I caught you honky tonkin' with my best friend
Discovering infidelity with a close friend
The thing to do was leave you, but I should'a left then
Regret for not leaving the relationship earlier
Now I'm too old to leave you, but I still get sore
Feeling trapped in the relationship despite grievances
When you come home a-feelin' for the knob on the door
Expressing resentment upon the partner's return
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
Repeating the plea for an explanation
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby
Reiterating emotional distress due to actions
Lord, I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
Asserting unwavering love despite the hardships
So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby why
Continuing to seek understanding for the behavior
Tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby why
Final plea for an explanation
