Joey
Chasing Love's Carousel: Natalie Cole's Emotional Journey in 'Joey'
Lyrics
Joey---, joey----
Expressing the name "Joey" with emotional emphasis.
Joey, where are you going
Asking Joey about his destination or purpose.
Where will you sleep tonight
Inquiring about where Joey will spend the night.
Will you be alright
Concern for Joey's well-being and assurance.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Emotional vocalization, possibly reflecting sadness or longing.
Joey, I really love you
Expressing genuine love for Joey.
Won?t you make here your home so you?ll never live alone anymore, oh
Inviting Joey to make a permanent home together.
We both took a ride on that merry-go-round
Reflecting on shared experiences and challenges.
We?ve seen a lot of faces of the same ole? clowns
Noting encounters with familiar difficulties.
But let?s not be a part of that continuous game
Rejecting participation in a repetitive, negative cycle.
Let?s start a new life that will never change
Advocating for a fresh, unchanging start in life.
Joey, where are you going
Repeating the question about Joey's destination.
Won?t you take me along, your place is my home
Expressing a desire to accompany Joey and share his space.
Joey---, hoo, hoo
Reiteration of emotional vocalization.
There?s no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
Rejecting the idea of material wealth as the ultimate goal.
True fortunes are deeper than the world is old so
Emphasizing the importance of deeper, true fortunes.
We?ve got to dig up and plant love again
Advocating for the cultivation and preservation of love.
Just don?t let it vanish, no
Warning against allowing love to fade away.
And you settle
Unclear, possibly a continuation or clarification of the warning.
My joey, where are you going, where are you going
Repeating the question about Joey's destination with urgency.
Dont, don?t, don?t go, joey, joey, joey, joey
Pleading for Joey not to leave.
Don?t you hear me calling, don?t you hear me calling to you
Calling out to Joey, expressing desperation.
Joey, joey, joey, joey, joey, joey, joey, joey, joey
Repetition of Joey's name, intensifying the emotional appeal.
Hoo, don?t you hear me calling to you, joey, joey, joey
Repeating the plea and calling out to Joey.
Don?t leave me alone, I wanna be with you
Expressing a desire not to be left alone, wanting to be with Joey.
I wanna go with you, I wanna be with you, joey, joey, joey
Reiterating the wish to accompany Joey and be close to him.
