Baby What's Wrong
Love Unraveled: Decoding the Emotions in Jimmy Reed's 'Baby What's Wrong'
Lyrics
Hey baby, honey, what's wrong with you?
Expressing concern and asking the partner about their emotional state.
Oh baby, honey, what's wrong with you?
Reiterating the inquiry about the partner's well-being with affectionate terms.
Well now ya don't treat me darlin', like you used to do
Noticing a change in the partner's behavior, feeling a lack of the previous affection.
Well now ya got me runnin' baby
Feeling restless or pursued, possibly due to the partner's actions.
Got me hidin', too
Experiencing a need to hide or escape, indicating emotional distress.
Tell me, tell me, baby, but
Asking the partner to communicate and seeking a resolution to the relationship issues.
What we gonna do?
Expressing uncertainty about the future of the relationship.
Oh oh baby, honey, what's wrong with you?
Repeating the inquiry, emphasizing the urgency and concern for the partner's well-being.
Well now you don't treat me, baby
Highlighting the perceived change in how the partner treats the speaker.
Like you used to do
Noting a departure from the previous affectionate behavior of the partner.
Well, I can't help it baby
Acknowledging a lack of control over emotions or reactions to the situation.
'Cause I'm feelin' strange
Expressing a sense of unease or discomfort, possibly due to the partner's actions.
I'm just hopin' baby
Expressing a hopeful attitude despite the challenging circumstances.
I don't go insane
Expressing concern about potential mental or emotional instability.
Oh oh, baby, honey, what's wrong with you?
Repeating the inquiry about the partner's emotional state and relationship behavior.
Well now you don't treat me baby
Reiterating the observation of a change in the partner's treatment.
Like you used to do
Noting the deviation from the previous positive treatment in the relationship.
