Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I've got to put you down for awhile
You know I can't quit you, baby
But I've got to put you down for awhile
Well, you messed up my happy home, babe
Made me mistreat my only child
You know I love you, baby
My love for you I could never hide
My love for you I would never hide
Yes, you know you're the onliest one, darlin'
You're just my heart's desire
Well, I'm so tired I could cry
I could just lay down and die
I'm so tired I could cry
I could just lay down and die
You know I love you, baby
You're just my heart's desire
When you hear me moanin' and groanin', baby
You know it hurts me way down inside
When you hear me moanin' and groanin', baby
You know it hurts me way down inside
Yes, when you hear me holler, baby
You know you're my heart's desire
The lyrics of "I Can't Quit You Baby" by Gary Moore depict a tumultuous relationship between the singer and their lover. Despite knowing that the relationship is not healthy for them, the singer cannot bring themselves to walk away from their lover. The singer acknowledges that their lover has caused problems in their life, including mistreating their child and disrupting their home. However, the singer still declares their love for their lover, proclaiming them as their heart's desire. The intense emotions in the chorus are brought about by the singer's exhaustion from the rollercoaster of emotions they experience in this relationship.
The song is an emotional and raw portrayal of a dysfunctional relationship, and the singer's inability to walk away from it highlights the addictive nature of toxic relationships. The lyrics characterize the singer as both vulnerable and strong, as they are torn between their love for their partner and the need to protect themselves and their family.

I can't quit you, baby
I cannot stop loving you, darling
But I've got to put you down for awhile
But I need to take a break from you for some time
Well, you messed up my happy home, babe
You have disrupted the peace in my joyful abode
Made me mistreat my only child
You caused me to mistreat my own offspring
You know I love you, baby
You are aware that I adore you, dear
My love for you I could never hide
I could never conceal my affection towards you
Yes, you know you're the onliest one, darlin'
You are the only one for me, my love
You're just my heart's desire
All I want is you, my love
Well, I'm so tired I could cry
I am exhausted to the point of tears
I could just lay down and die
I feel like giving up and dying
When you hear me moanin' and groanin', baby
When you hear me moaning and groaning, my love
You know it hurts me way down inside
You should know it pains me deeply
Yes, when you hear me holler, baby
Indeed, when you hear me shout in agony, my love
You know you're my heart's desire
You should be aware that you are the one I long for

Hey now this is a great version of โ Canโt Quit You Baby โ No need to compare Page with Moore they both are interpreting their own version of this blues song ! Anybody heard of Otis Rush ?? Give his version a listen, Just clean guitar ๐ธ with no pedals and an attitude! I do have to say they Mr. Mooreโs solo on this tune Rips pretty Hard, tight and in the pocket !!
