Baby Won't You Please Come Home
Longing Melody: A Plea for Love in Ray Charles' Blues
Lyrics
I got the blues
I am feeling sad and melancholic.
I feel so lonely
I feel a deep sense of isolation.
I'd give the world if I could only make you understand
I would give anything to make you comprehend my emotions.
Yes, it surely would be grand
It would be wonderful if you could understand.
I'm simply wild about my baby
I am passionately in love with my significant other.
Ask her won't she please come home
Politely asking my beloved to come back home.
Since she's gone I stay worried all the time
Since you left, I am constantly anxious and troubled.
So, baby, won't you please come home?
Requesting my baby to return home, alleviating my worries.
You know your daddy's all alone
Emphasizing that I am feeling lonely without you.
I have tried but all in vain
I have attempted, but my efforts have been unsuccessful.
Never no more to call your name
I will never be able to call your name again.
Since you left, you know you broke my heart
Your departure has caused profound heartbreak.
But that will never make us part
Despite the heartbreak, our connection remains unbroken.
Every hour, every day
Expressing the continual distress I feel every hour and day.
You can hear me say
Repeating the plea for you to come home.
Baby, won't you please come home to your daddy?
Specifically asking my baby to return to me, addressing me as your daddy.
Baby, won't you please come home?
Reiterating the request for you to come home.
Since you left you know you broke my heart
Highlighting the impact of your departure on my emotional well-being.
But that will never make us part
Reassuring that despite the heartbreak, we will remain connected.
Every hour, every day
Continuing to express the ongoing distress every hour and day.
You can hear me say
Repeating the plea for you to come home.
Baby, won't you please come home to your daddy?
Once again, specifically asking my baby to return to me, addressing me as your daddy.
Baby, won't you please come home?
Reiterating the final plea for you to come home.
