Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My babe Oh yeah, she don't stand no kissin',
My babe Well, my baby don't stand no kissin'
'Cept when I'm the one she's kissin',
My babe, true little baby, my babe Oh,
My babe I know she love me, my babe Oh yeah,
I know she love me, my babe Well,
But kiss and hug me, my babe, true little baby, my babe
Whoa, babe!
Yeah, my baby don't stand no foolin',
My babe Oh yeah, she don't stand no foolin',
My baby Well, my baby don't stand no foolin'
When she's around she's so darn coolin',
My babe, true little baby, my babe
Yeah, baby!
Well, my baby don't stand no foolin',
My babe Oh yeah, she don't stand no foolin',
My baby Oh yeah, she don't stand no foolin'
When she's around she's so darn coolin',
My babe, true little baby, my babe Well my babe,
True little baby, my babe Well my babe,
True little baby, my babe
The lyrics of Jools Holland/Tom Jones's song "My Babe" are essentially a love song about a woman whom the singer affectionately calls "my babe". The song emphasizes how the woman does not stand for any "foolin'" or kissing from anyone else except the singer. The singer is aware of the love that his "babe" has for him and describes her as a "true little baby" throughout the song.
The repetition of the lyrics with subtle variations in each verse gives the song a catchy and bluesy feel. The use of repetition also emphasizes the singer's claim on the love and affection of his "babe". The singer's confidence in his "babe's" love for him is also emphasized towards the end of the song when he says "when she's around she's so darn coolin'".
One possible interpretation of this song is that it celebrates a type of possessive and protective love that one has for their partner. The singer is confident about his "babe's" feelings for him and is proud of the fact that she is only affectionate to him. This could be seen as a reflection of traditional gender roles in which men are expected to protect and provide for their partners. Alternatively, the song could be seen as an expression of trust and mutual understanding between the singer and his "babe" in which they have agreed to be faithful and committed to each other.
