Tyrone Davis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh when I first said I was leaving
Girl, I didn't think I would have to stay gone so long
Ah but now five weeks have ended
And I just realized that I did you worng

But just think why'all I thought I was a big thing
But apparently she thought not
There must be something that I'm missing
Or is it something that she's got

Oh baby what is that you got now baby
Oh I thought I had your mind right
Cause this is what you led me to believe
Oh but now I'm the one who's uptight

And baby I'm the one who's got to plead
But just think why'all, I thought I was a big thing
But apparently she thought not
There must be something that I'm missing

Or is it something that she's got
Oh baby what is that you got now baby
All your sweet lovin' baby
Is oh so devastating to a man

Ah but just like black magic baby
I'm no fool but I couldn't understand
But just think why'all I thought I was a big thing
But apparently she thought not

There must be something that I'm missing
Or is it something that she's got
Oh baby what is that you got now
It makes me want to cry





Baby I love you
Oh baby, oh baby, baby, baby

Overall Meaning

In Tyrone Davis's song "Is It Something You've Got," the lyrics revolve around a man's realization that he was wrong for leaving his partner and coming back to her five weeks later. He questions what exactly he missed out while he was away, mentioning that he thought he was a big deal, but maybe his partner didn't think so. He contemplates whether there is something his partner has that he doesn't, leading him to ask, "Or is it something that she's got?" He then pleads with his partner, expressing his love for her, and unable to understand why she has such a strong power over him.


The song portrays the vulnerability and insecurities that arise when one realizes the mistakes they have made in a relationship. The singer, in this case, is looking for answers and trying to reflect on what went wrong. In the end, he discovers that his partner's love was something that he needed the most, and her absence made him realize how much he relied on her.


The lyrics are symbolic of human relationships and how they can be complex and challenging to decipher. The song's melody, coupled with Tyrone Davis' soulful voice, encapsulates those emotions effortlessly.

Still listening in 2021. This song will always remind of my Grandmother's back in the day basement parties. She is the reason why I am a TD fan. โค

I just love this classic

soln4suhreborn

The best way to enjoy Brunswick/Dakar's big bold brassy sound is on a 45 single. CD's and LP's do their sound no justice at all.
