Have You Seen My Baby?
The Beatles/Ringo Starr Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know she's driving me crazy
With the funny things she do
I seen her with the milkman
Ridin' down the street
When you're through with my baby, milkman
Send her home to me
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
You know it's been so long
Since she has been gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on
I seen her with the gypsies
Dancin' in the woods
She's always been unfaithful to me
She's never been good
I said, "Please, don't talk to strangers, baby"
But she always do
She said, "I talk to strangers if I want to
'Cause I'm a stranger too"
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
You know it's been so long
Since she has been gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Alright
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
You know it's been so long
Since she has been gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Have you seen my baby on the avenue?
Have you encountered my significant other on the street?
You know she's driving me crazy
She is causing me extreme frustration
With the funny things she do
Due to her peculiar actions
I seen her with the milkman
I witnessed her with the milk delivery person
Ridin' down the street
Traveling along the road
When you're through with my baby, milkman
Once you have finished your interaction with my partner, milkman
Send her home to me
Please ensure she returns to my presence
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Wait patiently, remain steadfast
You know it's been so long
It has been a considerable amount of time
Since she has been gone
Since she departed
I seen her with the gypsies
I observed her with the traveling people
Dancin' in the woods
Engaging in dance within the forest
She's always been unfaithful to me
She has consistently displayed disloyalty towards me
She's never been good
She has perpetually exhibited improper behavior
I said, "Please, don't talk to strangers, baby"
I requested, "Kindly refrain from conversing with unfamiliar individuals, my dear"
But she always do
However, she consistently ignores my plea
She said, "I talk to strangers if I want to
She responded, "I engage in discussions with unfamiliar individuals at my discretion
'Cause I'm a stranger too"
Because I, myself, am also unfamiliar to others"
Alright
Okay, understood

I just love how this song comes together. All the players on every instrument sound excellent. Marc Bolan on guitar never hurts a song. And George Harrison producing only makes it better. Great song.

HAS VISTO A MI NENA, UNA VEZ SUBÍ A UN ESCENARIO Y TOME UNA GUITARRA ELÉCTRICA Y CANTE "HAVE YOU SEE MY BABI", LA MENOR IDEA DE LO QUE HACÍA. FUE LA UNICA VEZ QUE TOQUE UNA GUITARRA ELECTRICA, ALLÁ POR LOS 1974

After the first few bars of Bolan's guitar intro, I expected to hear him singing "Sunken Rags". :)

James Booker also provided the memorable piano work on "You're 16."
