She's Out There Somewhere
Searching the Night: Yearning for Love on City Streets
Lyrics
Standin' on the corner
Standing at a street corner, waiting for my girlfriend to pass by
Wait on my girl to come by
Continuing to wait for my girlfriend's arrival
Yes standin' on the corner
Same as line 1, emphasizing the act of waiting
Waitin' on my girl to come by
Reiterating the anticipation of the girlfriend's arrival
Yes I can see nobody's face
Feeling isolated and unable to recognize anyone passing by
And I just gonna break down an' cry
Overwhelmed emotionally, leading to the desire to cry
Well I know she's out here
Belief that the girlfriend is present somewhere on the same street
On this street somewhere
Reaffirmation of the belief that the girlfriend is around
Yes I know you're out here woman uh
Confidence in knowing the girlfriend exists nearby
On this street somewhere
Repeating the certainty of the girlfriend's presence on the street
Bye baby now
Parting words indicating he has found someone new
I found me a new little girl
Expressing the discovery of a new romantic interest
Yeah hug me baby and uh
Yearning for physical contact and calling out for the girlfriend
Hear me call your name mm
Desiring the girlfriend's attention and acknowledgment
Oh I know you hear me babe I
Believing that the girlfriend can hear the calls but hasn't responded
Keep on callin' your name
Continuing to call out for the girlfriend without receiving a response
Well I didn't hear the answer babe
Not receiving a reply from the girlfriend and unable to see anything significant
An' I don't seem to see a dog-gone thing
Expressing frustration and confusion at the situation
I'll flag me a cab and I'll
Deciding to take a taxi and search the town for the girlfriend
Ride around all over town oh baby
Intending to travel all around the town in the taxi
Yes I'll flag me a cab and I think I'll
Reiterating the decision to use a taxi for an extensive search
Ride around all over town
Emphasizing the determination to find the girlfriend, refusing to stop the cab
You know if I don't find you woman I ain't gonna let this
Asserting that if the girlfriend isn't found, the cab won't be dismissed
Cab here no more put me down
Willingness to persist in the search, not letting the cab driver drop him off
So it's about four o'clock in the mornin' and I'm
Describing the time as around 4 a.m., feeling drowsy
Startin' to fall asleep ha ha
Humorously acknowledging tiredness to the cab driver
I tell the cab driver I just wanna
Expressing the need to find food
Find me somethin' to eat
Insisting on the primary objective: finding the girlfriend
I say I gotta find my woman
Reiterating the determination to locate the woman
And I know she's somewhere somewhere
Belief that the girlfriend is somewhere but uncertain where
You know I'm gonna ride I'm gonna ride I say I'm gonna
Commitment to continue searching in the taxi
Ride this ol' yellow cab
Emphasizing the reliance on the yellow cab for the search
