Little Richard's song "True" is a love song about a man's deep affection for his woman. The repeated phrase "true fine mama" is a term of endearment for his significant other, emphasizing not only her physical beauty but also the depth of their relationship. The use of the phrase "on the ball" also illustrates his admiration for her ability to respond quickly to his needs and desires. He begs her not to leave him and promises his love for her each night and day. The repetitive use of the word "honey" reinforces the sweetness of their love, and the singer's emotional attachment to his partner.
The phrase "beckon call" also adds an element of ownership to the song, as if the woman belongs to the man and is at his disposal. However, this is tempered by the deep love and affection he has for her. The repetition of "don't go away" adds a sense of urgency to the song, underscoring the fear of losing the one he loves. Overall, "True" is a simple yet heartfelt song expressing the depth of a man's love for his woman.
