Behind Closed Doors
Jessica Edwards Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She never makes a scene by hanging all over me in a crowd
Cause people like to talk, Lord, how they love to talk
But when they turn out the lights, I know she'll be leaving with me
[Chorus]
And when we get behind closed doors
Then she lets her hair hang down
Oh no one knows what goes on behind closed doors
My, behind closed doors
My baby makes me smile, Lord don't she make me smile
She's never too far away or too tired to say "I want you"
She's always a lady, just like a lady should be
But when they turn out the lights, she's still a baby to me
[Chorus]
The song 'Behind Closed Doors' by Jessica Edwards talks about a woman who is dignified and conscious about her public image, but behind closed doors, she transforms into a completely different person. The first verse explains how the singer's partner behaves in public. She never hangs all over him in a crowd which could attract unnecessary attention and gossip. The second verse talks about the positive attributes of his partner- she makes him smile, is never too far away, and always expresses her desire for him. She's a lady and behaves as a woman should, maintaining her dignity in public. However, the refrain of the song repeats the line "no one knows what goes on behind closed doors" which shows that there is a completely different dynamic at play - one that is private and intimate, away from judgmental eyes.
Overall, the song 'Behind Closed Doors' celebrates the intimacy and privacy of a relationship, highlighting how there is always more to a person than what meets the eye. In public, the woman is conscious of norms and expectations, but in private, she allows herself to fully express her love and desire for the singer. Through its emotive lyrics, 'Behind Closed Doors' beautifully captures the essence of a relationship that is private, intimate, and profoundly emotional.
Line by Line Meaning
My baby makes me proud, Lord don't she make me proud
My significant other fills me with pride, oh how she makes me proud.
She never makes a scene by hanging all over me in a crowd
She doesn't want to create a fuss by constantly clinging to me in public.
Cause people like to talk, Lord, how they love to talk
People have a tendency to gossip and spread rumors.
But when they turn out the lights, I know she'll be leaving with me
However, when we are alone, I know that she'll choose to be with me.
And when we get behind closed doors
When we are in private and away from everybody else.
Then she lets her hair hang down
She becomes more relaxed and comfortable.
And she makes me glad I'm a man
She brings out the best in me and makes me proud to be a man.
Oh no one knows what goes on behind closed doors
Our private lives and the intimacy we share are unknown to others.
My, behind closed doors
It is amazing what happens when we are alone and can be ourselves.
My baby makes me smile, Lord don't she make me smile
My significant other brings me joy, oh how she makes me smile.
She's never too far away or too tired to say 'I want you'
She always makes time for me and lets me know she desires me.
She's always a lady, just like a lady should be
She carries herself with poise and grace, just like a proper lady.
But when they turn out the lights, she's still a baby to me
However, when it's just the two of us, she becomes young and innocent in my eyes.
