Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel desire burning in the street
Uh, I'm missing you, you said you love me too
Uh honey, where are you? Under this sky blue
Louisiana Sunday afternoon
Lord, you got to help me make it through
I can't wait to see my baby soon
I can feel temptation in my bones
But I'm sitting here in my room all alone
Uh, I'm missing you, you said you love me forever
Wish I was kissing you and we could be together
Louisiana Sunday afternoon
Lord, you got to help me make it through
I can't wait to see my baby soon
Louisiana Sunday afternoon
Louisiana Sunday afternoon
Lord, you got to help me make it through
On this Louisiana Sunday afternoon
Louisiana Sunday afternoon
I hear the tap, tap, tap, tap of your steps
I hear the rap, rap, rap on my door
Louisiana Sunday afternoon
My baby is at my door, not a minute too soon
My baby let me love him, love him through and through
Louisiana Sunday afternoon
Louisiana Sunday afternoon
I wanna see my baby, I wanna love my baby
I wanna hug my baby, I wanna squeeze my baby
Louisiana Sunday afternoon
Lord, you got to help me make it through
I can't wait to see my baby soon

I saw her live performance somewhere in San Francisco almost 30 years ago and she played this song. It blew me away and still does.
@Elitelady-br1iw
I am a jazz vocalist and I love performing this song with the band. It always gets a great response. Thank you Diane for such a beautiful song.
@catherinesmith4551
I love Diane's voice, her style, everything! It's 2021, I'm reminiscing about the 1st time I heard this, my brother passed away last year (he was a great musician and yet oddly enough he earned his money as a law enforcement officer with such a spiritual attitude and music kept him grounded & mellow) my brother introduced me to Diane's voice many years ago and listening to this again in 2021, I can't help but think of my dear brother, missing him and the music he helped bring to my soul to, thanks for up-loading this❤
@londonlady4521
Love, love, love this gorgeous song and Diane's fabulous voice, so soulful and jazzy.

Dammit, I'd never heard of her until tonight! I've now had a listen to some other tracks of hers. I've missed so much. She has some musical CV, and more than some ability. A great singer.
@alloallie
@Trevor Morris Absolutely ! And it's never too late to get hooked on Diane !
@gynack
@Alexis Araneta
Aye, better late than never.
