Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even though I'm gone
Cause you know I'll be back again
Just like there's nothin' wrong
Gets lonely in the night time
All I do is think of you
24 hours of every day
I'm goin' crazy Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
When I walk through your door
I'll give you what you want
You want love babe
Gonna give you some love babe
Been so hungry for your touch
I hope my heart can take it
Can you take it. ooh'
Really take it
Those lonely nights won't gonna away
Until your lovin' arms are
Wrapped around me every day
Lonely nights, Lonely nights
They won't go away
Well I just can't wait to see you babe
This road gets weary babe
(But) I know l gotta face it
In my heart I got your photograph
('Cause) it's the safest place to keep it
Another thousand miles today
Soon be back in good LA.
One more hotel then I'm home
Get ready baby, here I come
When I walk through your door
Into your lovin' arms
Gonna gimme' your love babe
Gonna give you my love babe
Been so long I can hardly wait
I can feel the rush
Ooh' Push it baby
Rocka-Bye Baby

Keep the home fire burnin' girl
Please maintain a fire in our home while I am away
Even though I'm gone
Despite my absence
Cause you know I'll be back again
Because you are aware that I am returning
Just like there's nothin' wrong
As if there is no crisis or problem
Gets lonely in the night time
I feel isolated during the night
All I do is think of you
You are the only thing that I ever think about
24 hours of every day
Every minute of every hour, every day
I'm goin' crazy Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
I'm losing my mind due to my longing for you
When I walk through your door
Upon returning to our home
I'll give you what you want
I will provide you with your desired needs
You want love babe
You require affection from me, darling
Gonna give you some love babe
I will deliver love to you
Been so hungry for your touch
I have been yearning for your physical contact
I hope my heart can take it
I expect that I can handle the emotions that come from seeing you again
Can you take it. ooh'
Can you handle the same level of passion as me? Oh!
Those lonely nights won't gonna away
These isolated and lonely evenings will persist
Until your lovin' arms are
Until I am embraced by your affectionate arms
Wrapped around me every day
Holding and embracing me daily
Lonely nights, Lonely nights
Nights filled with disconnection and loneliness
They won't go away
They are not going to vanish
Well I just can't wait to see you babe
I can hardly contain myself until I am reunited with you
This road gets weary babe
Traveling is becoming quite tiresome
(But) I know l gotta face it
However, I am incredibly aware that I must confront and deal with it
In my heart I got your photograph
I have a photograph of you held deep within my heart
('Cause) it's the safest place to keep it
it's the most secure spot to store it
Another thousand miles today
I have to travel another thousand miles today
Soon be back in good LA.
I will be returning back to Los Angeles soon
One more hotel then I'm home
Once I stay in one more hotel, I'll be home with you
Get ready baby, here I come
Prepare yourself, darling, I'm on my way
When I walk through your door
Upon returning to our home
Into your lovin' arms
Being wrapped in your loving arms
Gonna gimme' your love babe
I require your love
Gonna give you my love babe
I will give you my love
Been so long I can hardly wait
It's been so long that I'm barely able to wait
I can feel the rush
I'm feeling quite anxious and excited
Ooh' Push it baby
Oh, help me to move forward, darling!
Rocka-Bye Baby

Pure and genuine rock!
@privatejimmy5861
Schenker rocks with such melodic musical depth of sensibilities and personality..always explosively dynamic and surprising..as opposed to all the over reaching predictable guitarists /"musicians"..sorry
.none compare. While being all that..Schenker manages to remain true genius songwriting and soloing..
It has never been a mystery as to why he has always had it all for me musically and as a such an awesome soloist OMG..
@frankod100
