Baybe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You should let your guard down, we could be so nice
Rosalie
Get it out, tell me what you wanna do
You're tongue tied but can we make it two?
I know you said that you'd stay here with me
Then why're your shoes still on? You hate me
I knew it, don't do it, don't run and tell your man
The truth is I couldn't ever stand a chance
But talking to you is like poetry
Yeah I'll never leave you Rosalie
Rosalie, I've been putting in time
I've been working all night get close to me
Turning water to wine I can show you that light
Oh Rosalie, you know she catching my eye
When I'm passing her by at the grocery
I've been putting in time I would do it all night
For Rosalie
Yeah, girl I know that we just met
But I can't get you out my head
Want you to tell me I am yours
Cuz you're the sweetest thing I ever saw
Got me on Sunday singing "Oh my God"
But I'm confused, don't know the truth
Is that your dude? Is he good to you?
Rosalie, I've been putting in time
I've been working all night get close to me
Turning water to wine I can show you that light
Oh Rosalie, you know she catching my eye
When I'm passing her by at the grocery
I've been putting in time I would do it all night
For Rosalie
Rosalie, I've been putting in time
I've been working all night get close to me
Turning water to wine I can show you that light
Rosalie, I've been putting in time
I've been working all night get close to me
Turning water to wine I can show you that light
Oh Rosalie, you know she catching my eye
When I'm passing her by at the grocery
I've been putting in time I would do it all night

Laying all my cards out, wanna make it right

You should let your guard down, we could be so nice
If you open up to me, we could have a great relationship
Rosalie
Refrain
Get it out, tell me what you wanna do
Express your desires and intentions to me
You're tongue tied but can we make it two?
I understand you're nervous, but can we become a couple?
I know you said that you'd stay here with me
You said you would give it a chance with me
Then why're your shoes still on? You hate me
But your actions show that you don't really want to be with me
I knew it, don't do it, don't run and tell your man
I had a feeling this would happen, please don't go talk to your current partner about us
The truth is I couldn't ever stand a chance
Realistically, I know I may never have the chance to be with you
But talking to you is like poetry
Even if nothing happens between us, just talking to you feels like art
Yeah I'll never leave you Rosalie
I'll always be here for you, Rosalie
Rosalie, I've been putting in time
I've been investing time and effort into building a connection with you, Rosalie
I've been working all night get close to me
I want to be closer to you, so I'm willing to work hard to make it happen
Turning water to wine I can show you that light
I can bring joy and happiness to your life, show you new perspectives
Oh Rosalie, you know she catching my eye
I can't help but be attracted to you, Rosalie
When I'm passing her by at the grocery
Even when I see you in mundane, everyday settings, I still feel drawn to you
I've been putting in time I would do it all night
I'm committed to putting in effort and time to build a relationship with you
Yeah, girl I know that we just met
I'm aware that we don't have a long history together
But I can't get you out my head
Despite that, I can't stop thinking about you
Want you to tell me I am yours
I want to hear you say that you want to be with me
Cuz you're the sweetest thing I ever saw
I'm attracted to you because you're kind and lovely
Got me on Sunday singing "Oh my God"
You make me feel happy and elated, like it's a special day
But I'm confused, don't know the truth
However, I'm still uncertain about where we stand
Is that your dude? Is he good to you?
Are you currently with someone else, and if so, are they treating you well?
