I'm In The Mood
John Lee Hooker;Bonnie Raitt Lyrics

I'm in the mood
Feeling a desire or longing for something, currently experiencing a strong emotional state

I'm in the mood for love, yes, I am
Feeling a romantic affection and interest in someone, expressing a desire to be with them

I'm in the mood for love
Continuing to express a strong desire to experience love and affection with someone

I'm in the mood, in the mood
Repeating the strong emotional state of being in the mood for love

I'm in the mood for love, Lord, Lord
Acknowledging a spiritual or religious aspect of this romantic longing

Hooked on you, I say, hey
Expressing an addiction or dependence on the person they desire to be with

Night time is the right time, be with the one you love
Highlighting the appropriate time of day for expressing and experiencing romantic love

But night, night come, baby
Expressing a sense of longing and missing the person they desire during times of separation

You're so far away, away, away
Emphasizing the physical distance between them and their desired partner, which causes feelings of sadness or frustration

My daddy told me
Referencing parental advice or guidance they received at some point in their life

Leave that man alone
Receiving instruction to avoid or end a romantic relationship with a certain person

But my daddy didn't tell me, Lord
Acknowledging that the advice may not have been complete or included all relevant information

What that man was puttin' down
Realizing that the person they were advised to avoid had certain desirable qualities or characteristics

In the mood, baby
Reiterating that they are currently feeling a strong romantic desire or longing

I'm in the mood for some of your love
Specifically expressing a desire for affection and companionship with their desired partner

All right, John Lee, play it, play it, play it, baby
Requesting and encouraging instrumental music to enhance the romantic atmosphere they are experiencing

I don't want be with no, no, no, one else
Stating that they are exclusively interested in being with their desired partner

I can't get my thrill, babe, hon', unless I be with you, you, you
Expressing that their desired partner is the only one who can truly satisfy their romantic and emotional needs

I'm in the mood, in the mood, baby
Continuing to express a strong emotional state of longing for love and affection

Lord, have mercy on me
Asking for compassion or forgiveness for the strong feelings they are experiencing

Have mercy on me, on me, on me
Repeating the request for mercy, emphasizing its importance to them

Lord, Lord, I'm in the mood for you, babe, the mood for you, babe
Expressing that their romantic desire is directed specifically towards their desired partner, with an emphasis on their affection for that person

And now, now, Bonnie, now Bonnie, now Bonnie
Addressing or calling on Bonnie Raitt by name, possibly to seek her guidance or support

What can I do, what can I do, baby?
Asking for advice or help regarding their romantic desire and emotional state

I, I love you, I love you, I love you, you
Emphasizing and expressing their deep affection for Bonnie Raitt

Some of your love, some of your love, ha
Repeating their desire for love and affection from Bonnie Raitt, hoping to receive a positive response

I'm in the mood
Reiterating their strong emotional state of longing for love and companionship

I'm in the mood, baby, yeah
Continuing to emphasize their current emotional state of wanting love and affection

I'm in a mood for some love
Specifically expressing a desire for romantic love and connection with Bonnie Raitt
