Lyrics
My baby done changed
Expressing that a change has occurred in the relationship.
She done changed the lock on the door
Indicates a physical change in access to the living space.
Yeah, my baby done changed
Reiteration of the change in the relationship status.
She done changed the lock on the door
Reiterating the change in access to the living space.
She said, "the key you got won't fit damn lock no more"
Describing that the existing key is now useless.
I came home last night about half past ten
Narrating the attempt to enter the home at a specific time.
Tried to get the key in the lock
Depicting the difficulty encountered in using the key.
But it sure wouldn't come in
Highlighting the key's failure to open the door.
'Cause my baby done changed
Linking the unsuccessful entry to the relationship change.
She done changed the lock on the door
Reaffirming the alteration in the lock and relationship.
She said, "that key you got sure that won't fit the lock no more"
Elaborating that the existing key is no longer functional.
I said, "I call my baby, say what you want me to bring"
Communicating an attempt to reconcile or address the issue.
She whispered real low, said it, "don't bring a dog gon' thing"
Rejecting the idea of bringing anything to resolve the situation.
I crawled down to the window
Describing a covert observation of the living space.
Just to see that I could see
Revealing unexpected presence of another person with the baby.
My baby had a young man there
Confirming the presence of someone other than the narrator.
Sure not wasn't me
Acknowledging that the new person is not the narrator.
My baby done changed
Restating the alteration in the relationship dynamics.
She done changed the lock on the door
Reiterating the key's inability to unlock the door.
Said, "that key you got, pretty baby, that won't fit that lock no more"
Affirming that the existing key is ineffective.
My baby done changed
Emphasizing the persistent change in the baby's behavior.
My baby done changed
Repetition for emphasis on the baby's transformation.
She done changed the lock on the door
Confirmation of the altered lock and relationship.
My baby done changed
Repetition to emphasize the significant change.
My baby done changed
Further emphasis on the transformation in the relationship.
My baby done changed
Reiteration of the enduring change in the baby's actions.
My baby done changed (my baby done changed)
Continued emphasis on the baby's changed behavior.
She done changed the lock on the door
Confirming the ongoing impact of the altered lock.
My baby done changed
Repeating the acknowledgment of the relationship shift.
My baby done changed
Reaffirming the permanence of the change in the baby.
Said, "that key you got, pretty papa, oh, you don't fit this here lock no more"
Stating that the existing key is no longer suitable.
My baby done changed
Reaffirming the ongoing transformation in the baby.
My baby done changed
Repetition to emphasize the change in the baby's behavior.
She done changed the lock on the door
Reiterating the altered lock and its implications.

"You know, that key you got, sweet papa, don't you? Fit this here lock no more"
Quoting the baby's statement about the ineffective key.
"See, that key you got, pretty papa, pretty papa, don't fit this lock no more"
Repeating the baby's assertion about the key's ineffectiveness.
Oh, where's the key, though?
Rhetorical question expressing confusion about the key's whereabouts.
