She's My Baby
The Mojo Men Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's always on my mind
She's nobody model
But she's so dog gone fine
Roar of a lion, purr of a tame housecat
Smile of a lady, the worth of a...
She's my baby
She's my baby
We go along to a downtown picture show
We have a good time till she sees somebody she knows
I get a little angry, a little upset
But she knows how to make me forget
She's my baby
She's my baby
She's my baby
My bad news baby
She's...
When she leaves me hanging I know that I've been hung
She talks like my sister walks like my brother
Looks like my father but cooks like my mother
She's my baby
She's my baby
She's my baby
The Mojo Men's She's My Baby is an upbeat and groovy song with lyrics that tell the story of a man's love for his "bad news baby". He admits to always having her on his mind, even though she may not fit the traditional definition of a model. To him, she is "so dog gone fine" and possesses a unique combination of traits that make her irresistible. The line "roar of a lion, purr of a tame housecat" emphasizes her duality and suggests that she can be both fierce and gentle.
The song describes the couple's night out at a downtown picture show, where the man gets upset when she sees someone she knows. But despite his anger, she knows how to calm him down and make him forget his frustration. The lyrics suggest that she has a special ability to comfort and soothe him, which is why he affectionately refers to her as his baby three times in the chorus.
The last verse of the song mentions how she can be unpredictable and leave him hanging, which causes him to feel hung up. However, the verse also paints a picture of her as someone who defies gender norms and expectations, with the line "she talks like my sister walks like my brother". She is someone who does not conform to society's gender roles but instead carves her own path. The song celebrates their love despite their differences and shows that they are a great match for each other.
