Fats Domino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm tired and I gotta go home
My baby told me she's gonna set me free
If I don't hurry back home
So I better be on my way
You know I cannot stay
It's been nice you know but I got to go
I left my baby, my friend
I know she's waiting for me
Don't want to sing the blues
I got too much to lose
So I guess I better go home
Well, I'm tired and I gotta go home
I'm tired and I gotta go home
My baby told me she's gonna set me free
If I don't hurry back home
So I better be on my way
You know I cannot stay
It's been nice you know but I got to go
Yes, I gotta go home
I left my baby, my friend
I know she's waiting for me
Don't want to sing the blues
I got too much to lose
So I guess I better go home

Well, I'm tired and I gotta go home
I am feeling fatigued and have to return to my residence
I'm tired and I gotta go home
I am exhausted and it is necessary for me to depart
My baby told me she's gonna set me free
My romantic partner has informed me that our relationship may come to an end
If I don't hurry back home
Unless I promptly return to my place of residence
So I better be on my way
I should leave now without delay
You know I cannot stay
It should be evident that I am unable to remain
It's been nice you know but I got to go
Although this has been a pleasant experience, I must depart
Yes, I gotta go home
I must return to my dwelling
I left my baby, my friend
I have departed from my significant other, who I also considered a companion
I know she's waiting for me
I am aware that she is anticipating my return
Don't want to sing the blues
I do not desire to express my melancholy feelings
I got too much to lose
There are too many valuable things in my life that I do not want to jeopardize
So I guess I better go home
Therefore, I suppose it is best for me to return to my abode
