High on the Hog
Love's Transformation: Embracing Life's Heights
Lyrics
Girl until the day I met you my heart was feelin? down
Expressing a positive change in emotions after meeting someone special.
I was lookin? for a lover who wouldn?t like any other
Desire for a unique and exceptional lover.
And thinkin? she could never be found
Doubting the possibility of finding such a lover.
I was searchin? high and low, honey don?t you know You were all I was lookin? for
Expressing the search for an exceptional partner.
Then you came along and my luck started changin? I?m feelin? like never before
Feeling fortunate and happy since meeting the person.
(chorus)
You were lonely, you were only in my dreams
Describing the person as previously existing only in dreams.
Were so lonely, aw but now you got me livin? so High on the hog,
Expressing an elevated and happy state due to the relationship.
girl you got me feelin? like I?m the top dog, like I?ve
Feeling like the top priority, happy, and successful.
died and gone to heaven
Using heavenly imagery to emphasize happiness.
I?m on cloud nine, livin? mighty fine
Feeling ecstatic and content.
You?re all I ever wanted but thought I?d never find High on the hog,
Expressing that the person is everything desired.
my feet ain?t even touchin? the ground
Feeling so happy that feet metaphorically don't touch the ground.
Well, once I was a poor man never thought that love was ever gonna come my way
Reflecting on past struggles and lack of hope in love.
Yea, the bottom of the barrel was all I ever saw I was sinkin? lower every day
Describing a period of hardship and despair.
Not a penny to my name,
Emphasizing financial struggles.
my life ain?t been the same since you came walkin? through my door
Highlighting the positive change brought by the person.
Now I?m here in high cotton, I?m
Enjoying a prosperous and happy life now.

Living large and in abundance.
I?m grinnin? like never before
Feeling extremely happy.

My feet ain?t even touchin? the ground
Reiterating the feeling of happiness and elation.
Yea, my feet ain?t even touchin? the ground
