Sadie
Yearning for Sadie's Return: A Love Unraveled in Walter Trout's Melody
Lyrics
Sadie, come back home tonight
Sadie is being urged to return home this evening.
Oh Sadie, come back home tonight
A repeated plea for Sadie to come back home.
You know I love you
Expressing love for Sadie and a commitment to treating her well.
You know I'm gonna treat you right
Reiterating the commitment to treating Sadie right.
I called her, I called her on the phone
An attempt to contact Sadie via phone.
Yes, I called her, called her on the phone
Repeating the attempt to reach Sadie via phone.
And some man
Discovering that someone else answered the phone.
Some man said she's not at home
Learning from that person that Sadie isn't present at home.
I got it, I roll up to her door
Going to Sadie's place.
Got my car and I rolled up to her door
Arriving at Sadie's house by car.
And she told me, she said
Hearing Sadie's rejection: she can't continue the relationship.
"I can't use you anymore, Anymore"
Specifically stating that the speaker is no longer useful to Sadie.
I cried, I cried all night long
Expressing emotional distress—crying throughout the night.
I cried, I cried all night long
Repeating the expression of intense sadness and crying.
Baby, you know you're doing me wrong
Conveying the pain caused by Sadie's actions, recognizing her wrongdoing.
Oh Sadie, won't you give me one more chance
Pleading once more for Sadie to reconsider and grant another opportunity.
Oh Sadie, won't you give me one more chance
Reiterating the request for another chance to prove worthiness.
I'll prove it, I'll prove I'm still
Promising to demonstrate being a capable and worthy man.
A man, still a man, Yeah yeah
Asserting the continued masculinity and readiness to prove oneself.
