Baby Don't Make Me Nervous
Love's Turmoil: Unraveling Emotions in Golden Earring's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
From the Album:
Introduction: The album is "Winter harvest."
* Winter harvest
Setting the tone: "The beat on my heart, I've got a feeling."
The beat on my heart he I've got a feeling
Expressing a unique emotion: Describing a novel and unfamiliar sensation.
A feeling that I never felt before
Intensity of emotion: The feeling is unprecedented.
Someday you know and you don't understand
Confusion and lack of understanding in a relationship.
Someday you feel it will never end
Perception of never-ending emotions.
There are others and you feel it sel
Awareness of other potential relationships.
It's a feeling you'd never had
The feeling is unfamiliar and unique.
Oh baby
An affectionate address to a partner.
You know you can make me happy
Belief in the partner's ability to bring happiness.
Just show me that you will love me too
Request for assurance and love from the partner.
You've got me doing and saying wrong
Engagement in questionable actions influenced by emotions.
You say that my nose is too long
Partner pointing out flaws in a lighthearted manner.
Why are you talking and not serious
Questioning the sincerity of communication.
Yes baby you make me nervous
Expressing nervousness caused by the partner.
Baby, baby don't make me nervous
Repetition for emphasis: "Baby, baby don't make me nervous."
Baby, baby don't make me nervous
Reiteration of the plea to avoid causing nervousness.
Baby, baby don't make me nervous
Continued plea for emotional stability.
That's right
Affirmation of the previous statements.
Oh someday you know
Reiteration of confusion and lack of understanding.
And you don't understand
Repetition of emotions that seem unending.
Someday you feel it will never end
Reminder of potential alternative relationships.
There are others and you feel it sel
Reaffirmation of the uniqueness of the feeling.
It's a feeling you'd never had
Repetition of the unfamiliar nature of the emotion.
Baby, baby don't make me nervous
Reiteration of the plea against causing nervousness.
Baby, baby don't make me nervous
Continued plea for emotional stability.
Baby, baby don't make me nervous
Repeated request to avoid inducing nervousness.
Baby, baby don't make me nervous
Further plea for emotional reassurance.
Baby, baby don't make me nervous
Final plea to maintain emotional stability.
