Come On In My Kitchen
Keb Mo Lyrics

You better come on into my kitchen
I am inviting you into my personal space to seek comfort and shelter from the harsh realities of the outside world.

Cause it's sure to be raining outdoors
The world outside is filled with difficulties and problems that can't always be solved or avoided.

When a woman's in trouble
Women are often unfairly judged and criticized when they face difficulties or challenges in their lives.

Everybody puts her down
People tend to blame and shame women for their problems, instead of offering support and empathy.

She look for her good man
When a woman is struggling, she often seeks the support and love of a reliable and trustworthy partner.

Lord he can't be found
Unfortunately, her partner may not be available or willing to help her when she needs it most.

There's a cold wind blowing
The world outside is harsh and unforgiving, making it difficult to navigate and survive.

Leaves tremblin' on the trees
Nature reflects the turbulent and uncertain state of the world, with even the trees quivering in fear and uncertainty.

Don't you know that that good girl
The artist of the song has lost a beloved partner, who was kind and loving towards him.

Ya she's leaving me
His partner has decided to leave him, causing him immense heartache and pain.

The woman I've been loving
The singer is deeply in love with a woman who has recently left him.

Left with my best friend
Tragically, his partner has chosen to be with his best friend, which is a major betrayal and source of pain for the artist.

That joker got lucky
The singer feels resentment towards his friend, who he sees as unworthy and undeserving of his partner's affections.

Stole her back again
In his eyes, his friend has taken away the person he loves, leaving him alone and heartbroken.

That good girl's leaving
The singer is once again referencing the fact that his partner has left him.

She ain't coming back
He has come to terms with the fact that his partner is gone for good, and there's no hope of reconciliation.

Took her last nickel from her notion sack
His partner has taken all her belongings and valuables, leaving him with nothing but memories and regret.

Mama's dead and gone
The singer has lost his mother, who was likely a source of love and support for him.

Father's no where's to be
His father is absent or gone, leaving him without any immediate familial support or guidance.

I ain't got nobody
He is completely alone and isolated, with no one to turn to for help or comfort.

To love and care for me
He is in need of love, affection, and emotional support, which he lacks in his current situation.

Yes, it's going to be raining outdoors
The world outside is full of suffering and challenges, which cannot always be avoided or overcome.
