Fightin' Blues
Love Amidst Chaos: Ottoman Turks' Fightin' Blues Revels in Passionate Strife
Lyrics
I say hey baby, hey darlin' don't you see?
I'm addressing you, expressing a sense of familiarity and affection.
I said hey baby, hey darlin' don't you see?
Reiteration of the previous line, emphasizing the plea for attention.
Despite all our troubles, you know you're the only one for me
Despite our challenges, you are the one I truly care about and love.
I said yes, we fight all day and all night long
Acknowledging that conflicts and arguments are a constant part of our relationship.
I said yes, we fight all day and all night long
Reiterating the ongoing nature of the fights, with a hint of resignation.
The only time we stop is for me to sing you this song
Our fights are interrupted only for me to convey my feelings through this song.
Every day of the year, yeah, every day we disagree
Every day, without exception, we find reasons to argue and differ in opinions.
Every day of the year, yeah, every day we disagree
Repeating the idea of daily disagreements, emphasizing the frequency.
I said 365, you know it don't matter to me
The specific number of days (365) is mentioned, suggesting a continuous, unbroken cycle of disagreements.
Well you scream and holler, girl you bawl and you shout
Describing intense emotional reactions, such as screaming and yelling during conflicts.
Yeah you scream and holler, girl you bawl and you shout
Reiterating the emotional intensity, highlighting the impact of the partner's behavior.
When you ain't cryin' at me, you sit in the corner and you pout
When not expressing anger, you withdraw and sulk in the corner, avoiding direct confrontation.
Other folks couldn't stand it, no, other folks would get up and leave
Suggesting that others might not tolerate such constant fighting and would leave the relationship.
Other folks couldn't stand it, no, other folks would get up and leave
Reiterating the idea that the relationship is unique, implying a tolerance for continuous conflict.
But we ain't like most people, girl, fighting's our specialty
Asserting that fighting is a distinctive characteristic of our relationship, implying it's what sets us apart.
Two, three, four, end of the song
Counting in musical terms, signaling the end of the song.
