Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause she didn't have a daughter
She did have a son
She said the lift doesn't work
Run up the stairs and come
And if you don't come quick
You not gonna see your son
So I grab a bunch of roses
And I started to run
Here I come (oohh)
Two months later she said come and get your son
'Cause I don't want your baby to come tie me down
Because you are old and I am young
Yes while I'm young yes I wanna have some fun
Run me down
Shudlee boop boo woodlee diddlee ooh, zeen
I'm broad, I'm broad, I'm broader than Broadway
Yes I'm broad, I'm broad, I'm broader than Broadway
When you go to poking what is like a stage show
You have man that sling, DJ, and broad
Pull it down the radio, ohh zeen
On the intercom, Rosie tell me to come
'Cause she didn't have a daughter
She did have a son
She said the lift doesn't work
Run up the stairs and come
And if you don't come quick
You not gonna see your son
So I grab a bunch of rose
And I started to run
Here I come oohh
Two months later she said come and get your son
'Cause I don't want your baby to come tie me down
Because you are old and I am young
Yes while I'm young yes, I wanna have some fun
Run me down
Shudlee boop boo woodlee diddlee ooh, zeen
Extra size, extra size, extra sizer than sizeway
Extra broad, extra broad, extra broader than broadway
On the intercom, Rosie tell me to come

And if you don't come quick
You not gonna see your son
So I grab a bunch of roses
And I started to run

In Barrington Levy's song "Here She Comes," he sings a story of a woman named Rosie who tells him to come over because she needs help. Rosie doesn't have a daughter but a son, and the elevator to her apartment isn't working. She urges Barrington to run up the stairs quickly, or else he won't see his son. He brings a bunch of roses and heads over there. Two months later, Rosie notifies Barrington that she doesn't want his baby because he's old, and she wants to have fun while she's still young. She urges him to take the baby and leave her alone. In the verses, Barrington describes himself as "broad, broader than Broadway" and sings about the many women who adore him.
The lyrics of "Here She Comes" present several themes, such as the complexities of relationships, betrayal, and the fleeting nature of romance. The woman in the song, Rosie, appears to have misled Barrington about her intentions with him, ultimately leaving him with their child. Moreover, Barrington's character seems confident in his physical attractiveness and is aware of his sexual appeal to women. Still, this theme is more of a braggadocio nature than anything else, and it emphasises the confidence he exudes. The song ends with Barrington reiterating his broadness and the attention he receives from many adoring fans.
