I Wish You Would

Lyrics
Early in the morning, 'bout the break of day
Expressing the early morning time when a significant event occurred.
That's when my baby went away

Cryin' and pleadin' won't do no good
Conveying that crying and pleading are ineffective in bringing the partner back.
Come back, baby, I wish you would
Expressing the desire for the partner to return, a wish for reconciliation.
Huggin' and a-kissin' late at night
Describing affectionate moments like hugging and kissing during late-night encounters.
I tell you now baby, I feel just right
Expressing the speaker's current positive feelings and satisfaction with the relationship.
Tell me now baby what you tryin' to do
Asking the partner about their intentions or actions in the relationship.
Tryin' to love me and some other man, too

Come now baby, give me one more chance

You know I still love you, want to be your man

Stayin' out drinkin' all night long
Expressing disapproval of the partner staying out drinking for the entire night.
I tell you now baby I think it's wrong

Come back baby, I wish you would

Tryin' to love me and some other man, too

Come on
