Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Babe, baby, baby, I'm gonna leave you.
I said baby, you know I'm gonna leave you.

I'll leave you when the summertime
Leave you when the summer comes a rollin'
Leave you when the summer comes along.

Babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, baby, baby
I don't want to leave you
I ain't jokin' woman, I got to ramble.
Oh yeah
Baby, baby, babe, I believin'
We really got to ramble.
I can hear it callin' me the way it used to do
I can hear it callin' me back home!

Babe, I'm gonna leave you
Oh, baby, you know, I've really got to leave you
Oh I can hear it callin 'me
I said don't you hear it callin' me the way it used to do?
Ohhh

I know, I know
I know I never never never never never gonna leave your babe
But I got to go away from this place,

I've got to quit you, yeah
Ooh, baby baby baby baby baby baby ooh
Don't you hear it callin' me?
Woman, woman, I know, I know
It feels good to have you back again
And I know that one day baby, it's really gonna grow, yes it is.
We gonna go walkin' through the park every day.

Come what may, every day
Oh, mama baby
I'm gonna leave you go away

It was really, really good.
You made me happy every single day.
But now!
I've got to go away!

Baby, baby, baby,




That's when it's callin' me
I said that's when it's callin' me back home.

imagine hearing this for the first time in 1968

@anthonymartire2036

Must’ve absolutely blown everyone away. I heard this song for the first time while I was cooking like a week ago and had a full on moment. Live for the first time must’ve been unreal.

@Nico-wm4ck

That would have seriously made my life!

@billcraven9485

That's when it happened to me. Changed me forever.
