Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby
Love's Question: Is You Is or Is You Ain't?
Lyrics
Oh, I got a man that's always late
Expressing frustration with a man who is consistently tardy
Any time we have a date
Highlighting the habitual lateness during their dates
But I love him
Affirming love for the man despite his flaws
Yes I love him
Reiterating the love for the man despite his behavior
So I'm gonna walk up to his gate
Deciding to confront the man at his residence
See if I can get it straight
Attempting to clarify the situation with the man
Cause I want him
Expressing the desire for the man despite the issues
Yeah I can't help it
Admitting inability to control the love for the man
I'll just ask him
Planning to question the man about their relationship
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
Pose the fundamental question about the status of the relationship
Well, the way you're acting lately, well it makes me doubt
Expressing doubt about the man's commitment due to recent behavior
You were still my baby, baby
Questioning if the man is still her baby despite uncertainties
But it seems like my flame in your heart, well it's just gone out
Suspecting that the passion in the man's heart has diminished
A man is a creature
Reflecting on the unpredictable nature of men
That has always been strange
Commenting on the mysterious and enigmatic nature of men
Just when you're sure of one
Emphasizing the uncertainty in understanding a man's behavior
You'll find that he's gone and made a change
Noting the tendency of men to undergo unexpected changes
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
Repeating the essential question about the man's commitment
Well, maybye my baby found somebody new
Considering the possibility that the man may have found someone else
Or is my baby still my baby too
Questioning if the man still belongs to her despite potential changes
