Satisfaction
Smokey Robinson and The Miracles Lyrics

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Expressing excitement and anticipation.

Satisfaction
The feeling of being content and fulfilled.

That means
Implies or suggests.

Different strokes for different folks
People have their own preferences and opinions.

Oh yeah
An expression of agreement or affirmation.

Now to the man who who's scaled the mountain high
Referring to one who has achieved great success or accomplished a difficult task.

Feel of climbing through the sky must satisfy, oh ho
The exhilarating feeling of accomplishment and reaching new heights.

Oh, but having a baby with me, baby
Expressing the singer's personal source of satisfaction.

Is satisfaction enough for me
The singer is content with his current life situation and does not need anything else.

Oh, and holding him tightly by me, mightily
The singer finds happiness in being near and holding his child.

That's satisfaction enough for me
The singer emphasizes that his child is his main source of satisfaction.

Oh, satisfaction (yeah, satisfaction)
Repeating the song's title for emphasis.

Oh yeah (yeah, satisfaction)
Repeating agreement with the idea of satisfaction being subjective to each individual.

Life is so
A acknowledgement that life can be complex and challenging.

To each his own, ooh
Each person has their own unique desires and preferences.

Well now your satisfaction now
The song switches perspectives from the singer's own satisfaction to that of the listener's.

May be
Suggesting a possibility or likelihood.

Anything from A to Z

Your mind is free

Uh huh
An expression signifying agreement.

Can't be classified
Satisfaction is unique and individual, so it cannot be put into categories or labels.

Oh no
An expression of disagreement or disappointment.

It all depends on
Suggesting the idea that the things that bring one satisfaction may vary depending on the individual.

What you feel inside
Personal feelings of joy and fulfillment cannot be measured or compared.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

All of my baby's dreams?
