While he would enjoy the commercial success during a string of albums in the mid- to late '70s, he also lent his production and songwriting skills to several labelmates, including the Natural Four. After the closing of Curtom Records in 1980, Hutson's career diminished into obscurity with the exception of 1982's jazz-funk-tinged Paradise. However, he has maintained a strong cult following among soul collectors to this day, and in 2000 Sequel Records had the good sense to reissue not only the original albums on CD but a two-disc anthology spanning the greatest hits of his career.
Ella Weez
Leroy Hutson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby please (baby please)
Won't you bring your
fine self home
I'm in misery (misery)
and it's killin' me (killin' me)
don't you leave me here all alone
Five o'clock
I'm off of work
honey feeling
going down the stairs
I never thought
that I'd see the day
That I'd go home
and you wouldn't be there
Girl, what good is man
without his woman
Baby I'm no good without you
Ella Weez (Ella Weez)
Baby, please (baby please)
Won't you bring your
fine self home
Girl, my heart's in pain (heart's in pain)
and it's such a shame (such a shame)
Don't you leave me here with no home
Girl, I need you here
'cause I love you dear
I'm lonely when I'm in my room
(Girl, you really know I really need you)
Said' I need you here
cause I love you dear
Don't you fill me back with gloom
Every time - Those days
I don't go to work
I don't know just what to do
Every time I try
to think of something else
my mind just goes back to you
Girl, what good is a man
without his woman
Baby I'm no good without you
Ella Weez (Ella Weez)
Baby, please (baby please)
Won't you bring your
fine self home
I'm in misery (misery)
and it's killin' me, (killin' me)
don't you leave me here with no home
Girl my heart's in pain (heart's in pain)
and it's such a shame (such a shame)
Don't you leave me here with no home
Said' I need you here
cause I love you dear
Don't you fill me back with gloom
I can't stand it, lord
I can't stand it
I can't stand it
(Leroy)
I got to let you go
(chorus)
Got to keep on
keep on trippin
Go to get back to you
Got to keep on
keep on trippin
Go to get back to you
(Leroy)
I got it! Hey!
Got to keep on
keep on trippin
Go to get back to you
Got to keep on
keep on trippin
Go to get back to you

He confesses to not knowing what to do with himself when she's not around, and his mind always goes back to her. He is so attached to her and is not good without her that he is willing to keep waiting for her until she comes back to him. The chorus has Leroy Hutson singing about the need to keep on tripping and getting back to Ella Weez, showing how much the man is dedicated to the pursuit of their love. Overall, the message is about the pain of separation and the need for love in one's life.
