Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen here
I want to tell you bout this baby of mine
Just in a few words, brother, she is so fine
She's my darling girl
And I wouldn't change her for the world

Well, I've never been in love like I am with-a my little girl
She gives me all the love I want and more
She's everything that I've been looking for
She's my angel baby
And I wouldn't change her for the world, now

Oh, I never been in love like I am with-a my little girl
Hey, now, she's the cutest thing that I've ever seen
And when you see her you'll know just what I mean
She's my baby doll girl and I wouldn't change her for the world
Well, I've never been in love like I am with-a my little girl

Now, there's just only one thing that I have to say
I'm gonna love her for the rest of my days
'Cause she's my darling girl
And I wouldn't change her for the world

Oh, I never been in love like I am with-a my little girl
Say, well, I never been in love like I am with-a my little girl




One more time, people
Never been in love like I am with-a my little girl

My favorite guitarist/singer ! When you think he did this song on the go in the studio because he needed one more tune it give you a good idea of his genius... So much energy in his playing here !

God I love his guitar tone in this recording. I always loved this song. Reminds me of a Saturday at home as a kid. My dad used to always blast this album among many others.

I did copy guitar of the Jeff Healey on this record just now. and Healey using string bending m6 on this guitar solo on the second half. now I think maybe Healey copied Eric Clapton in long time ago. Yeah ロケンロー(笑)
