Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well, I think I'm gonna cry
I'm searchin' for my baby
I think I'm gonna cry, yeah
I can't find that woman
No matter how hard I try
Well, I've got myself a car
Well, I've got myself a car
And that thing is painted blue
But no matter what's done to me, baby
I guess I'll always be blue
Oh, yes
Oh, oh, my good Lord
I got a hundred and fifty things
Now all I gotta find is you
I got a hundred and fifty things
Now all I gotta find is you
And if the Nazz don't help me, baby
You better forget about me too
The Yardbirds feat. Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter's song, The Nazz Are Blue, is a blues song that speaks of the frustration and desperation a man feels as he searches for his baby. The lyrics convey a feeling of deep sorrow as the singer is on the verge of tears as he laments his inability to find the woman he loves. The repeated lines, "I'm searching for my baby, I think I'm gonna cry," show the singer's despair and hopelessness. Despite his efforts, he cannot locate her, no matter how hard he tries.
The song continues with the singer talking about his car, which is painted blue. He says that no matter what is done to him, he will always be blue. Here, the word "blue" means sad or melancholic. He then goes on to say that he has a hundred and fifty things, and all he has to find is his baby. The Nazz mentioned in the last line refers to the band The Nazz, who were contemporaries of The Yardbirds. The singer seems to be saying that if even the help of another band cannot help him find his baby, he might as well give up.
Overall, the song is a powerful expression of the pain and suffering of unrequited love. The repetition of the line "I think I'm gonna cry" adds to the emotional impact of the song, making it a classic blues piece that resonates with people decades after its creation.

I'm searchin' for my baby
I am looking for my lover
Well, I think I'm gonna cry
I am feeling emotional and sad
I can't find that woman
I am not able to locate my lover
No matter how hard I try
Despite my best efforts
Well, I've got myself a car
I have acquired a vehicle
And the thing is painted blue, ah
It is colored blue
But no matter what's done to me, baby
Regardless of what happens to me
I guess I'll always be blue
I will always feel sad
I got a hundred and fifty things
I have many possessions
Now all I gotta find is you
I must find my lover to complete my happiness
And if the Nazz don't help me, baby
If my spiritual guides can't help me
You better forget about me too
You should give up on our relationship
