Tell me what's wrong with me

Baby won't you please come home

Fannie Mae

Now, I ain't been myself
Girl, since you've been gone

I can hear my name a ringing
On down the line
(Fannie Mae, Fannie Mae)
Yeah, I can hear my name ringing
On down the line
(Fannie Mae, Fannie Mae)
I wanna know do you love me
Or am I just wasting my time
Now, Fannie Mae

The song "Fannie Mae" by Gary T is a plea to a woman who has left the singer. He is asking her to come back home to him, as he is in "so much misery" without her. The repetitive line "I want somebody, tell me what's wrong with me" suggests that he is struggling to understand why she left and what he can do to win her back. He is desperate for her to return and is consumed by thoughts of her, hence his repeated cries for her to come home.
The repeated use of the name "Fannie Mae" gives the song a catchy and memorable hook, while also personalizing the singer's longing for his lost love. The line "I can hear my name ringing on down the line" suggests that he is calling out to her but not receiving a response. The final lines of the song, in which he cries out "woe" and "po' me" repeatedly, show the depth of his despair and misery without her.
Overall, the song is a classic example of blues music, featuring a simple but effective bassline and repetitive lyrics that reflect the singer's emotional pain. It's a raw, emotional piece that speaks to the pain of lost love.
