Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's in my heart, and why I love you so
I love you baby like a miner loves gold
Come on sugar, let the good times roll, hey!
So many people live in make believe
They keep a lot a going up their sleeves
But my love baby is no kind that folds
(Let the good times roll)
Ah baby, come on and let daddy fill your soul
Baby, let the good times roll
Hey!
A love is nice if it's understood
It's even nicer when you're feelin' good
You got me flippin' like flag on a pole
Come on sugar, let the good times roll
Hey! Yeah! Let the good times roll!
Feel me baby! Come on, good times roll!
Come on and let me fill your soul
Hey, let the good times roll
In Dr. John's song "Come On In," he sings about his love for someone who may not be fully understood by others. He explains that people talk without truly knowing what lies in his heart and why he loves this person so much. His love for them is compared to how a miner loves gold, emphasizing its value and depth. He encourages his lover to embrace the good times and let them roll.
Dr. John's lyrics also suggest that many people live in a state of make-believe, hiding things away from others. However, he states that his love for his partner is genuine and true, never to be kept hidden or folded away. He again encourages this person to embrace happiness and let the good times roll. The chorus of the song repeats twice, emphasizing the message of delight and joy.
"Come On In" is a love song, but it also expresses a deeper message about the importance of being genuine and happy in life. Dr. John seems to encourage individuality and encourages his lover to be themselves and not hide anything away. The song provides a catchy tune with an inviting message, and it leaves the listener feeling happy and content.
