Signed Sealed Delivered I'm Yours
Peter Frampton Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like a fool I went and stayed too long
Now I'm wondering if your love's still strong
Oo baby, here I am, signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours
Then that time I went and said goodbye
Now I'm back and not ashamed to cry

[Chorus:]
Oo baby, here I am, signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours

I'll be yours
Here I am baby
(Signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours) Oh here I am baby,
(Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours) Baby

Done a lot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean, yeah
Oo-wee babe you set my soul on fire
That's why I know you're my one desire

[Chorus]

Done a lot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean
I could be a broken man but here I am
(Here I am)
Here I am baby (signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours)
Here I am baby (signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours),baby

Here I am baby (signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours)
[Repeat]

LateSummer of 77, Wheaton Illinois. When I heard this song on the radio📻..down to the Woolworths with my paper route $..
I think the other Winfields got tired of me dancing around our place🎶like a loon🎶
the bassline progression, the backup singers just cutting loose on Peter, that top of the cymbal cowbell throughout, his waycool riff on his Les Paul modified.
Peter had taken Stevie's jam to a new level..
The Joy of this Jam has never left!
The sheer joy of being alive, and through the sound of music🕊️
Way to go Frampton!!! You knew how to rock out this chicago boy.and it still kills it today🥰🎵💯🎸🎉🕺

There was a girl I used to cover at a small daily in northern Pa. who did the triple jump for the high school the paper covered. She wore blue running tights with white piping and she had a hitch in her approach that reminded me of this version of this song. In her best interests I will not name names but I think of her every time I recall this song.

I heard him interviewed one time and he said th record company was hot for him to do another album after, Frampton Comes Alive, and he thought this album was just kinda thrown together but, i always liked it

@bubblehead78

5y↑2

I agree. Peter always hated this album but I think it is great. I think he's just being too hard on himself. Lesser musicians would kill to be able to put out an album like this one.

@donandannie4u2

7y↑2

Always thought this recording session sounded really loose and "whatever happens, happens". Maybe it's just the pictures on the album liner conveying that thought. At 3:16, underneath the guitar solo, you can hear background talking and someone actually saying "good one"... I'd love to have been there for this album

As a teen in the mid-late 70s, I vaguely recall liking Frampton Comes Alive (Do You Feel Like We Do, etc.) and songs like this one, but hearing this song now, it obviously sounds flat--at least to me--compared to the Stevie Wonder original.
