If You're Desperate and You Know It Clap Your Hands

It's funny how a song's musical style and emotional feel sometimes have nothing whatsoever to do with its lyrical content.

When you listen to the 472nd greatest song of all time, "Where Did Our Love Go?" by the Supremes, you may be tempted to clap your hands or move your feet...it's that kind of a bouncy, obviously-1964ish  pop song.

It's also a sad, desperate tale of abandonment.

Baby, baby

Baby don't leave me

Ooh, please don't leave me

All by myself

I've got this burning, burning

Yearning feelin' inside me

Ooh, deep inside me

And it hurts so bad

You came into my heart (baby, baby)

So tenderly

With a burning love (baby, baby)

That stings like a bee (baby, baby)

(Ooh baby, baby)

STD?

Then again, maybe the constant overuse of the word baby isn't coincidental.

Now that I surrender (baby, baby)

So helplessly

You now wanna leave (baby, baby)

Ooh, you wanna leave me (baby, baby)

(Ooh baby, baby)

Men can be such jerks.
