Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby
Diana Krall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time we have a date
But I love him
Yes I love him
I am going to walk right up to his gate
To see if I can get it straight
Cause I want him
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
The way your acting lately makes me doubt
You have always been my baby, baby
Seems the flame in your heart has gone out
Well a fellow is a creature
Who has always been strange
Just when you think you're his
He's gone and made a change
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
Has my baby found somebody new
Or is my baby still my baby too

In the second verse, she decides to confront him in order to clear up any misunderstandings and uncertainties. She wants to know if he still considers himself to be her partner or if they have drifted apart.
The chorus of the song features the main question of the singer, "Is you is or is you ain’t my baby". She wonders if the recent changes in her partner’s behavior mean that he has lost interest in their relationship, or if there is still hope for them to stay together. The following line "The way your acting lately makes me doubt" indicates that the singer is concerned about the possibility of her partner being unfaithful or losing interest.
Overall, the song portrays the emotional turmoil of a woman who is deeply invested in a relationship that may or may not be reciprocated. The lyrics suggest that the singer is not necessarily looking for an easy answer but rather a sincere and honest response from her partner.
Line by Line Meaning
I got a guy who's always late
I am in a relationship with a man who is habitually tardy
Every time we have a date
Whenever we plan a meeting
But I love him
Despite his punctuality issue, I have deep sentiments for him
Yes I love him
I want to continue loving him for he is dear to me
I am going to walk right up to his gate
I will approach his abode personally
To see if I can get it straight
To clear my doubts by asking him straightforwardly
Cause I want him
I need him in my life
Oh yes I'm gonna ask him
I am sure of asking him directly about our relationship status
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
Are you still devoted to me like before
The way your acting lately makes me doubt
I am perplexed by your recent actions
You have always been my baby, baby
You were always sweet and affectionate towards me
Seems the flame in your heart has gone out
Your passion for our relationship seems to have faded out
Well a fellow is a creature
Men can be impossible to understand
Who has always been strange
Their behaviour is unpredictable at times
Just when you think you're his
When you believe that you have grasped his heart
He's gone and made a change
He does something unexpected that totally surprises you
Has my baby found somebody new
Have you found someone else?
Or is my baby still my baby too
Or are you still loyal to me? Even now?
