Wee Baby Blues
Heartache's Melody: Love Lost in Wee Baby Blues
Lyrics
It was early one Monday mornin',
Reflects the setting of the story, early on a Monday morning.
And I was on my way to school.
Describes the speaker's journey to school.
It was early one Monday mornin',
Repetition for emphasis on the timing, still early on a Monday morning.
When I was on my way to school.
Reiteration of the speaker heading to school.
That was the mornin'
Highlights the morning when the speaker defied their mother's rules.
When I broke my mother's rule.
Elaborates on breaking a maternal rule, suggesting a pivotal moment.
I've been in love with you, baby,
Expresses the speaker's longstanding love for someone.
Before I learned to call your name.
Implies affection even before knowing the person's name.
I've been in love with you, baby,
Reiterates the early and deep connection with the unnamed "baby."
Before I learned to call your name.
Underlines the speaker's affection preceding the knowledge of a name.
Now you're in love with someone else
Expresses the pain of realizing the loved one is now with someone else.
I know that's gonna drive me insane!
Conveys the emotional distress the speaker anticipates due to unrequited love.
(Interlude)
Another musical pause or instrumental break.
Ooh wee baby,
Expresses admiration for the physical appearance of the mentioned "baby."
You sure look good to me.
Reiteration of the speaker's positive view of the "baby."
Ooh wee baby,
Another expression of the speaker's admiration for the "baby."
You sure look good to me.
Repeats the sentiment of the "baby" looking good to the speaker.
Please tell me, pretty mama...
Asks the "pretty mama" to reveal the identity of the new lover.
Who can your great new lover be?
Persistence in seeking information about the new lover.
