When Something is Wrong With My Baby
Travis Tritt Patti LaBelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something is wrong with me
And if I know that he's worried
Then I would feel the same, same misery
We've been through so much together
We've been as one, oh that's what makes it better
When something is wrong with my baby
Oh, say it to me baby
Just what he means to me now
Oh, you people, you just don't have a clue baby
Oh you don't understand
People say, say that she's just no good
She's my woman and I know I'm her man
Oh, if the man's, if the man's, if the man's got a problem
I know I'd help, I know I'd help, I know I know I'm gotta solve it
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me
When something is wrong with my baby, something is wrong with me

Purchased this album “country, rythem and blues” years ago. Thought these two were a great combination. Travis did a great job holding his own with Patti. Aaron Neville and Trisha Yeareood, Lyle Lovett and Al Green were also good combos .

I have been a Patti LaBelle super fan for as long as I can remember and I'll never forget the feeling I felt the first time I heard this song back in the late 90s. I searched for it for years until YouTube came about, and I've been thankful ever since!

My daughter and I would sing this song to her Mother, and just sing it ridding around in the car... We both get chills and have so many beautiful memories. When we saw Travis and his daughter sing "There's a Danger" together we both broke out in tears. I Love you Bug!!!!!! We will always have this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@davidalexander828
anybody who can hold their own with Patti Labelle can flat out sing.
