Here Comes My Baby
Brian Poole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be walking a long and lonely mile,
And every time I do,
I keep seeing this picture of you
Here comes my baby, here she comes now,
And-a it becomes as no surprise to me
with another guy,
Well, here comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love,
With a love that's oh so fine
Never to be mine, no matter how I try,
You'll never walk alone,
and you're forever talking on the phone
I try to call you names,
but every time it comes out the same
Here comes my baby, here she comes now,
And-a it becomes as no surprise to me
with another guy,
Here comes my baby, here she comes now,
And-a it becomes as no surprise to me
with another guy
Here comes my baby.

In the midnight moonlight hour
During the late hours of night, when the moonlight is the only source of illumination
I'll be walking a long and lonely mile
I will be enduring a journey that feels both physically and emotionally distant and isolated
And every time I do
On each occasion that I undertake this journey
I keep seeing this picture of you
I consistently visualize an image of you in my mind
Here comes my baby, here she comes now
My beloved is approaching, her arrival is imminent
And-a it becomes as no surprise to me with another guy
It does not astonish me that she is accompanied by another man
Walking with a love, with a love that's oh so fine
Strolling alongside a person who possesses an exceptionally wonderful affection
Never to be mine, no matter how I try
Unachievable for me, regardless of my efforts
You'll never walk alone
You will always have companionship
And you're forever talking on the phone
Furthermore, you are constantly engaged in phone conversations
I try to call you names
I attempt to insult you
But every time it comes out the same
However, my insults always result in the same outcome
Here comes my baby, here she comes now
My beloved is approaching, her arrival is imminent
And-a it becomes as no surprise to me with another guy
It does not astonish me that she is accompanied by another man
Here comes my baby, here she comes now
My beloved is approaching, her arrival is imminent
And-a it becomes as no surprise to me with another guy
It does not astonish me that she is accompanied by another man
Here comes my baby.
My beloved is arriving.
