Deuce
Love's Labor: Stevie Wonder & Lenny Kravitz Harmonize Life's Sacrifices
Lyrics
Get up
Encouragement to rise or stand up
And get your grandma outta' here
Suggesting to remove an older person, possibly to create a lively atmosphere
Pick up
Directive to lift or take up
Old Jim workin' hard this year
Reference to someone named Jim working diligently
And baby
An address to a significant other
Do the things he says to do
Advice to follow the instructions provided by "Old Jim"
Baby, if you're feeling good
Encouraging the partner to feel positive
And baby if you're feeling nice
Encouraging a pleasant and agreeable demeanor
You know your man is workin' hard
Acknowledging the hard work of the partner
He's worth deuce
Stating that the partner is valuable, possibly emphasizing importance
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Repetition of "Yeah," indicating affirmation or agreement
Honey
An endearing term for a partner
Don't put your man behind his years
Advising not to make the partner appear older than they are
And baby
Encouraging the partner to cease crying
Stop cryin' all your tears
Reiterating the importance of following instructions
Baby
Addressing the partner
Do the things he says to do
Reiteration of advice to follow guidance
Baby, if you're feeling good
Encouraging the partner's positive feelings
And baby if you're feeling nice
Encouraging a pleasant and agreeable demeanor
You know your man is workin' hard
Acknowledging the hard work of the partner
He's worth a deuce
Reiterating the partner's value, possibly emphasizing importance
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Repetition of "Yeah," emphasizing agreement or affirmation
And baby if you're feeling good
Encouraging the partner's positive feelings
Yes baby if you're feeling nice
Encouraging a pleasant and agreeable demeanor
You know your man is workin' hard
Acknowledging the hard work of the partner
Yeah (84 times)
Repetition of "Yeah" multiple times, reinforcing agreement or affirmation
