You
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I call it like I see it,
And you could never be it,
Your eyes are always closed
You can't see beyond your nose
You know you wrong
(you know you wrong)
You know you wrong
(you know you wrong)
I say I don't wanna fight, 'cause you are never right!
You know you wrong
(you know you wrong)
You know you wrong!

The girl that you just met's got you tied up like a pet
Got you coming got you going
Got you never ever knowin' that you wrong

Even though I know you love this song ,
You sit and sing it all day long.
It doesn't change a thing for me,
'Cause brother you will never see

At the end of the day
I can always hear you say
That nothing ever goes
Quite your way
You know you wrong
(you know you wrong)
You know you wrong
(you know you wrong)
You know you wrong
(you know you wrong)
I say I don't wanna fight, 'cause you are never right!
You know you wrong




(you know you wrong)
You know you wrong

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "You" by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy convey a message of frustration with someone who is refusing to see the truth. The singer is calling it like they see it and pointing out that the person they are addressing is always wrong. The individual in question is seemingly blind to their own faults and refuses to acknowledge them. The singer is insistent that they do not want to fight the person because they are never right. The chorus is a repetition of "You know you wrong," which emphasizes the point the singer is trying to make.


The second verse introduces a new character, a woman who has captivated the person the singer is addressing. This woman has seemingly got this individual tied up like a pet, and he is blindly following her every whim. He is never able to see that he is wrong because this woman has got him wrapped around her finger. The bridge mentions that the person being addressed loves the song, even though it doesn't change anything. The singer is resigned to the fact that this person will never see the truth.


Overall, the song is an indictment of someone who refuses to take any responsibility for their actions and is blindly following someone else’s lead. The singer is frustrated by this individual but is also sympathetic as he recognizes they will probably never change.

Подружка у меня
На диво хороша!
Она стройна
И не бедна,
На вкус как вишенка.

Моя подружка (Схожу с ума я)
Ведь любовь должна
Быть вознаграждена.
Хочу обнять её,
Мой Бог, она всё время мне нужна.
Так нужна.

Я спрошу:
Ну почему я? (Скажи)
За что же я? (Скажи)
Ну почему я?
Ну зачем ей бегать от меня?
Не пойму зачем ей...
Люблю её сильней,
Чем вчера любил, ей-ей.
Я ждал, что придет она ко мне.

За что?

Коль встретите её,
Передайте ей:
Мне так одиноко,
Нет меня грустней...

Моя подружка (Схожу с ума я)
Ведь любовь должна
Быть вознаграждена.
Хочу обнять её,
Мой Бог, она всё время мне нужна.
Так нужна.

Я спрошу:
Ну почему я? (Скажи)
За что же я? (Скажи)
Ну почему я?
Ну зачем ей бегать от меня?
Не пойму зачем...
Люблю её сильней,
Чем вчера любил, ей-ей.
Я ждал, что придет она ко мне.

За что? О, за что?

Я спрошу:
Ну почему я? (Скажи)
За что же я? (Скажи)
Ну почему я?
Ну зачем ей бегать от меня?
Не пойму зачем...
Люблю её сильней,
Чем вчера любил, ей-ей.
Я ждал, что придет она ко мне.

За что?

Я спрошу:
Ну почему я? (Скажи)
За что же я? (Скажи)
Ну почему я?
Ну зачем ей бегать от меня?
Не пойму зачем...
Люблю её сильней,
Чем вчера любил, ей-ей.
Я ждал, что придет она ко мне.

За что? За что?
За что? За что?
За что? За что?

Lyrics, enjoy! :

Now if you've seen my baby
My baby is oh so fine
She's long and lean
And never mean
She tastes like cherry wine

And she's my baby (She drives me crazy)
Now a love like mine
Should never be denied
I want to hug and kiss her
Lord I really miss her all the time

All the time

Now I said
Why, why, why, why, why? (Why me?)
Why, Why, Why me? (Why me?)
Why, why, why, why, why?
Why'd she have to run away from me?
It's a mystery why
I love her more today than
I loved her yesterday when
I thought that she'd come back to me

Why me?

Now if you've seen my baby
Tell her this for me
I'm so sad and lonely
Down as I can be

And she's my baby (She drives me crazy)
Now a love like mine
Should never be denied
I want to hug and kiss her
Lord I really miss her all the time

All the time

Now I say
Why, why, why, why, why? (Why me?)
Why, Why, Why me? (Why me?)
Why, why, why, why, why?
Why'd she have to run away from me?
It's a mystery why
I love her more today than
I loved her yesterday when
I thought that she'd come back to me

Why me? (groaning voice) why me?

And I say
Why, why, why, why, why? (Why me?)
Why, Why, Why me? (Why me?)
Why, why, why, why, why?
Why'd she have to run away from me?
It's a mystery why
I love her more today than
I loved her yesterday when
I thought that she'd come back to me

Why me?

Now I say
Why, why, why, why, why? (Why me?)
Why, Why, Why me? (Why me?)
Why, why, why, why, why?
Why'd she have to run away from me?
It's a mystery why
I love her more today than
I loved her yesterday when
I thought that she'd come back to -

Why me? x7 (Progressively Louder)

This video never gets boring. The sideways glances at the microphones cracks me up every time. One of my all-time videos.

I served these guys coffee like ten times whenever they played Nicholby's, Ventura in the mid 90s...nice to see this talented bunch break away from the gravitational pull of Ventura ;)
