I Gotta Go Get My Baby
Reclaiming Love's Lost Symphony
Lyrics
When I woke up this fine, bright morning
Upon waking up, the speaker describes the morning as fine and bright.
It didn't look right to me
The morning appears unusual or unsettling to the speaker.
It seemed like something was awful wrong
The speaker senses that something is seriously amiss.
And I wondered what it could be
The speaker wonders about the cause of the unsettling feeling.
I been thinking about it all day long
The speaker has been pondering the issue throughout the day.
Trying to figure out what was wrong
Continued efforts to understand the problem.
Well, the answer just now came to me
The answer suddenly becomes clear to the speaker.
My darling baby's gone
The realization that the speaker's beloved has left.
I gotta go get my baby wherever he may be
Expresses the determination to find and retrieve the departed lover.
I gotta go get my baby and bring him home with me
Reiterates the commitment to bring the lover back home.
I hate to leave your company, it's jolly as can be
Despite the current pleasant company, the speaker prioritizes finding the lover.
But I gotta go get my baby and bring him home with me
Reaffirms the urgency to retrieve the lover despite the enjoyable surroundings.
Well, I guess I took that guy of mine
The speaker reflects on taking the lover for granted.
For granted too darn long
Realization that the speaker neglected the lover for too long.
He must of got tired of waiting 'round
Suggests that the lover may have grown weary of waiting.
And thought he didn't belong
Speculation that the lover felt out of place and left.
But Lawdy knows I love that man
Despite past actions, the speaker deeply loves the departed lover.
More than I've ever shown
The love for the lover is more profound than expressed previously.
I'm gonna bring my loving baby back
Expresses the intent to retrieve and cherish the lover.
And place him on a throne
The speaker envisions restoring the lover to a position of importance.
I gotta go get my baby wherever he may be
Reiteration of the determination to find and bring back the lover.
I gotta go get my baby and bring him home with me
Continued commitment to the mission of bringing the lover home.
If I have to swim the ocean, well, look out Mister Sea
Expresses a willingness to overcome significant obstacles, even crossing the ocean.
'Cause I'm gonna go get my baby and bring him home with me
The speaker emphasizes the unwavering resolve to retrieve the lover.
