Out on the water coast
I want you to meet me darlin'
Out on the water coast
I want to find out which one you love the most
I want your love
And I sent you a telegram
And I sent you a telegram
And I call you long distance so you know just wild I am
Meet me, meet me, meet me on the water coast
Meet me, meet me, meet me on the water coast
I'm gonna find out this mornin' which one of us you love the most
Meet me, meet me baby, on the water coast
I want you to meet me, meet me, meet me down on the water coast
I'm gonna find out in the mornin' which one you love the most
I'm gonna find out in the mornin' which one that you love the most
The lyrics to The Yardbirds' song "Out On The Water Coast" depict a man pleading for the love of a woman, and the lengths he is willing to go to win her over. It seems that he suspects that she is in love with another man, and he is determined to find out the truth. He calls her repeatedly, sends her telegrams, and begs her to meet him on the water coast so that he can finally know which one of them she truly loves.
The setting of the water coast adds a romantic and dreamy element to the song, as does the repetition of the phrase "meet me, meet me, meet me." This sense of urgency and desperation is further emphasized in the final lines of the song, as the man declares that he will find out in the morning which man she loves the most.
