Lyrics
Well, hello baby
Initiating a conversation, expressing familiarity and warmth
Come here sit down, make your self comfortable
Inviting the person to sit comfortably, creating a relaxed atmosphere
Tell me something, how long have we known each other?
Inquiring about the duration of their acquaintance
About ten months huh?
Confirming the duration of their relationship (ten months)
Say what's that on your finger? An engagement ring?
Noticing an engagement ring on the person's finger
So you and John are getting engaged huh?
Asking about the person's engagement with John and expressing admiration for John
You know he's a mighty lucky guy
Complimenting John and stating he's fortunate to have the person
Should be proud to have a woman like you
Encouraging the person to take pride in themselves
Listen, I've got something I wanna to tell you
Expressing a desire to share something important
Don't think I'm getting fresh or anything like that
Clarifying that the intention is not to be inappropriate
But this things been bugging me for a long time, you know
Acknowledging a persistent concern
And it's kinda getting heavier and heavier each and every day
Describing the emotional weight of the undisclosed issue
And I've just gotta get it off my chest
Expressing a need to confide in the person
See, I've never seen anybody like you
Admiring the person as unique and exceptional
I've never known anybody like you
Highlighting the person's singularity in the speaker's experience
Guilty, guilty of loving you
Admitting to feeling guilty for loving the person
Let me take me back to my childhood a while
Transitioning to a childhood memory to provide context
See, we had a medium size family you know, and we weren't rich
Describing a modest family background
But my mother, she tried to bring us us the best she could
Commending the mother's efforts to provide the best
Guilty, guilty of loving you
Reiterating the feeling of guilt for loving the person
Didn't commit no crime nor nothing
Emphasizing the absence of any wrongdoing or crime
But I had to wait until I reach man hood to commit this crime
Expressing the need to wait until adulthood to "commit this crime"
According to the code of love, if there is such a code (guilty, guilty of loving you)
Referring to love as a code, possibly societal or moral
See, love is a thing well, you know?
Reflecting on the nature of love
It's a bit like quicksand
Comparing love to quicksand, implying its unpredictable and consuming nature
The more you wriggle the deeper you sink
Describing the inevitability of sinking deeper into love
And when it hit's you, you've just got to fall
Stating that when love hits, one must surrender to it
That's why I do believe that I am guilty
Affirming the speaker's belief in being guilty of loving the person
Said I'm guilty, guilty of loving you
Repeating the admission of guilt for loving the person
Said I'm guilty, guilty of loving you
Reiterating the speaker's sense of guilt for loving the person
Guilty, guilty of loving you
Concluding with a restatement of guilt for loving the person
