Big Fat Mama
Love's Triumph: Big Fat Mama's Journey to Devotion
Lyrics
Say you need me, say you need me
Soliciting affirmation of emotional need and importance.
Tell me that you want my love
Requesting acknowledgment of a desire for love.
Say you will be mine and I am yours
Expressing commitment and mutual ownership in a relationship.
You think that you're way above me
Perceiving a sense of superiority from the other person.
I'm telling you that I can see
Asserting the ability to see through the other person's facade.
All those things that you might wanna be
Acknowledging the aspirations and potential of the other person.
I am yours tonight
Declaring oneself as available and committed for the night.
You be mine tonight
Inviting the other person to reciprocate commitment for the night.
You keep telling me you're not having me
Addressing a denial of acceptance or commitment.
I'm telling you that I can see
Reiterating the ability to perceive the other person's true intentions.
All the things that you might wanna be
Recognizing the potential aspirations of the other person.
Say you need me, say you need me
Repeating the plea for acknowledgment of emotional need.
Tell me that you want my love
Requesting confirmation of the desire for love.
Say will be mine and I am yours
Reaffirming commitment and mutual ownership in a relationship.
I am yours tonight
Declaring oneself as available and committed for the night (repeated).
You be mine tonight
Inviting the other person to reciprocate commitment for the night (repeated).
I got a big fat Mama
Describing a physically large mother figure.
With a big fat boy
Highlighting the presence of a hefty male companion.
Really thinks she's something else
Indicating a perceived sense of self-importance in the big mother.
But I love that woman
Expressing love and admiration for the substantial woman.
Like fish loves the water
Drawing a comparison to emphasize the depth of affection.
And there is nobody else
Asserting exclusivity in affection for the big mother.
I'm gonna tell you woman better do as you're told
Warning the woman to comply with instructions.
If you don't, I'm gonna bring you down
Threatening consequences if instructions are not followed.
I've got a big fat Mama
Reiterating the presence and significance of the big mother.
And there's no one else around
Emphasizing the absence of alternative romantic options.
I said say you need me
Repeating the plea for acknowledgment of emotional need.
Come on and say you need me
Encouraging the other person to admit to the need for the speaker.
I said say you need me
Repeating the encouragement for acknowledgment.
Say you need me
Repeating the plea for acknowledgment of emotional need.
Come on and say you need me
Encouraging the other person to admit to the need for the speaker (repeated).
I said say you need me
Repeating the encouragement for acknowledgment (repeated).
