Hey Baby
Captivating Love Quest: Hey Baby by Jerry Lee Lewis
Lyrics
Hey, hey hey baby!
Expression of greeting and attention to the subject (baby).
I want to know if you'll be my girl
Inquiry about the possibility of a romantic relationship.
Hey, hey hey baby!
Repetition of the greeting and the inquiry for emphasis.
I want to know if you'll be my girl
Reiteration of the desire to know if the subject will be the singer's girl.
When I saw you walking down the street
Observation of the subject walking down the street.
I said that's a kind of girl I'd like to meet
Expressing the singer's interest in meeting a girl like the one observed.
She's so pretty, Lord she's fine
Complimenting the physical attractiveness of the girl.
I'm gonna make her mine, all mine
Declaration of intent to make the girl exclusively his.
Hey, hey hey baby!
Repetition of the greeting and inquiry for reaffirmation.
I want to know if you'll be my girl
Reiteration of the desire for the girl to become the singer's girl.
When you turned and walked away
Noting the girl's departure.
Thats when I want to say
Expressing the singer's desire to speak up at that moment.
C'mon baby, give me a whirl
Invitation for the girl to engage in a romantic relationship.
I want to know if you'll be my girl
Reiteration of the desire to know if the girl will be his.
Hey, hey hey baby!
Repetition of the greeting and inquiry for continued emphasis.
I want to know if you'll be my girl
Reiteration of the desire for a romantic relationship.
When you turned and walked away
Noting the girl's departure again.
Thats when I want to say
Expressing the desire to speak up at the moment of departure.
C'mon baby, give me a whirl
Repetition of the invitation for a romantic connection.
I want to know if you'll be my girl
Reiteration of the desire to know if the girl will be his.
Hey, hey hey baby!
Final repetition of the greeting and inquiry for confirmation.
I want to know if you'll be my girl
Final expression of the desire for the girl to become his.
Hey, hey hey hey hey, baby
Additional energetic expression urging the girl to come closer.
C'mon, baby now
Encouragement for the girl to take action and respond positively.
