Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know what?
What?
[CHORUS]
You tickle me baby
You tickle me baby
And I don't mean maybe
You tickle me baby
When you try and tell me what to do
You must be crazy
You must be crazy
You got to be crazy
And I don't mean maybe
You tickle me baby
When you try and tell me what to do
[VERSE 1]
Well ain't nothin' you done been right
You stayed out late at night
You know you do me wrong
So you can't be here long
You may as well confess
'Cause you know I've done my best
[VERSE 2]
Well, stay away from me
You'll cry and I can see
Those tears don't mean a thing
'Cause you know you are to blame
Yes, you lost your chance
When you tried and tell me what to do
Wellll... stop
Wellll... stop
Wellll... stop
Wellll... stop
Wellll... stop
Wellll... stop
[Repeat CHORUS]
[Repeat VERSE 1]
The Royal Jokers' song "You Tickle Me Baby" is a playful tune that features a catchy chorus and entertaining verses. The chorus mentions how the subject of the song tickles the singer, but not in a literal sense. Instead, the subject is being referred to as annoying and crazy when trying to tell the singer what to do. The repetition of the line "You tickle me baby" emphasizes the amusement that the singer feels when the subject is attempting to control their actions. However, the singer urges the subject to stay away, as they have done wrong in the past, and their tears won't make a difference this time.
The verses of the song expand on the message of the chorus, highlighting the subject's wrongdoings and how they have lost their chance with the singer. The line "those tears don't mean a thing" emphasizes the singer's conviction that they will not be swayed or tempted back into a relationship with the subject. The constant repetition of the word "stop" in the bridge creates a sense of urgency and frustration, further emphasizing the singer's desire for the subject to leave them alone.
Overall, the lyrics convey a playful and upbeat message about not allowing yourself to be controlled by others and standing up for yourself. The catchy chorus and repetitive bridge also create an enjoyable listening experience.
