Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm cutting out on you
You just a play type of baby.
And I ain't got no use for you.
Seven days you play the races.
Seven nights you stay out late.
Your always caught in funny places.
Glamour girl, glamour girl
I find you'll never do.
You just a play type of baby.
And I ain't got no use for you.
Twelve o clock is rising hour.
You think that's a crime.
You better find a better place for charlie
Cause I'm through feeding ya mine.
Glamour girl, glamour girl
I find you'll never do.
You just a play type of baby.
And I ain't got no use for you.
Now the fastest train that's leavin
Is much to slow for me.
Now the fastest train that's leavin
Is much to slow for me.
When all these years I tried to believe you,
That was just a foolin me.
In T-Bone Walker's song "Glamour Girl," the singer addresses a woman he deems as a "play type of baby" and informs her that he is cutting out on her. He details how she spends her time playing the races, staying out late at night, and always getting caught in funny places with every guy she thinks is great. He concludes that he has no use for her and that she will never do for him. The singer further warns the woman that he is through feeding her, and she better find a better place for Charlie, indicating that he will no longer be taking care of her.
The lyrics of "Glamour Girl" provide a commentary on the stereotypical "glamorous" lifestyle that some women might lead. The woman, referred to as a "Glamour Girl," seems to be living a superficial lifestyle and relying on men for her upkeep. The singer is no longer interested in her, suggesting that her lifestyle is a turn-off to him. Additionally, the lyrics highlight the singer's self-respect, as he does not want to waste his time with a woman who he deems as not worth his time.

The Father of electric blues. Set the bar. It still stands. One of a kind. A generational talent. Relatively unrecognized. If you like his music, check out Duke Robillard, who carries the torch for T Bone to this day.
