Cherish the Day You're ruling the way that I move And I breathe your…

and
on Tar Baby
The lyrics to Sade's song Tar Baby are full of emotional depth and metaphorical meaning. The song seems to tell the story of a woman who is loved by her grandmother but is perceived as naive and has made a mistake that the grandmother cannot believe. The title "Tar Baby" is derived from an African-American folk tale about a doll made of tar, which represents a trap. The grandmother seems to think that her granddaughter has fallen into a trap and is going down the wrong path. However, the woman has found love, represented by the "tar baby" who has shared a secret with her.
Sade's lyrics seem to convey the power of love to overcome obstacles and healing pain. The song refers to how the woman's love is like a sharp blade that cut through two decades of pain like hot coal on ice. The lyrics also suggest that the woman's love has transformed her life, leading to a golden thread inside the web that she was caught in. The words are full of gratitude and wonder for this love, represented by the magical ability to charm the birds out of the skies with the Tar Baby's magic.
Overall, Sade's song is a testament to the power of love to transform our lives and help heal our pain. The metaphors and allusions used in the lyrics give the song a rich depth of meaning.
