Walkin'
J. Slick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me (yes)
I'm lonely as I can be, I'm waitin' for your company
I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me
What 'ya gonna do when the well runs dry?
You're gonna run away and hide
I'm gonna run right by your side, for you pretty baby I'll even die
I'm walkin', yes indeed, I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
I'm walkin', yes indeed, and I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me (yes)
I'm lonely as I can be, I'm waitin' for your company
I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me
What 'ya gonna do when the well runs dry?
You're gonna sit right down and cry
What 'ya gonna do when I say "bye-bye"?
All you're gonna do is dry your eye
I'm walkin', yes indeed, I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
The lyrics of J. Slick's "Walkin'" seem to revolve around a love story where the singer is hopeful that their love interest will come back to them. The first stanza starts with the declaration of walking and talking about the love between two people. The singer expresses their desire for the loved one to return to them and relieve them of their loneliness. The second stanza creates a situation where there is a possibility of things going wrong between the two. The singer questions what the loved one would do if the well runs dry, and they have nothing left to give. The case scenario here is metaphorical, where the 'well drying up' could symbolize a loss of love, money, or other resources. Finally, the last stanza is hopeful again, where the singer shows their conviction in speaking about the good times between the two and hopes that their loved one will return to them.
