サヨナラをしてみたけど
壊れそうな Heart Beat
遠去かる悲しい足音
散らかった部屋でわざと
冷たく笑いかけても
倒れそうな Happy End
追いかけて行きたいけれど
少しだけあなたのこと
キライになるかもしれないけど
あなたはどうぞ別の夢をかなえて
Rock me Baby!
Rock me Baby!
ちぎった写真をつないで
さっきの事考えてる
今はもう Memory
愛した分だけ傷ついた
憎めないまなざしが
モノクロームに沈んでいく
誰の為の True Blue
色あせた映画みたいネ
I don't care, But
少しだけあなたのこと
忘れてしまうかもしれないけど
あなたはどうぞ別の人と歩いて
Rock me Baby!
Rock me Baby!
I don't care, But
少しだけあなたのこと
キライになるかもしれないけど
あなたはどうぞ別の夢をかなえて
Rock me Baby!
Rock me Baby!
The song "Baby Baby" by 山下久美子 reflects the emotions of someone who is going through heartbreak and trying to move on from a past relationship. The lyrics start with the singer knocking on the door in tears to say goodbye to their ex-partner. They feel like their heart is breaking and they can hear the sad footsteps of their ex-partner getting farther away. The singer tries to put on a brave face while smiling coldly, but they really want to chase after their ex-partner and have a happy ending with them. However, they also admit that they might start to hate their ex-partner a little bit as they try to move on.
The second verse talks about how the singer is trying to piece together ripped photos while reminiscing about their past with their ex-partner. They accept that the memories of their relationship are now only memories, and that they have been hurt as much as they have loved. They describe their ex-partner's gaze as something they cannot hate, even as the memories become dull and black-and-white. The singer ends by saying they might forget their ex-partner and start to walk with someone else.
Overall, the song is about the emotional turmoil that someone goes through as they try to move on from a past relationship. It captures the pain, nostalgia, and slight bitterness that comes with trying to let go of someone they still care about.

布袋のキャリアの中で実は久美ちゃんのサポートが1番らしい気がする。曲もアレンジも全てで、勿論BOOWYが1番好きなんだけど、らしいのは久美ちゃん。ギター布袋、ベース松井、ドラム池畑、キーボードホッピーは最強のビートバンドでした。

紅い髪がこんなに似合う女性シンガーは久美ちゃん以外にいない
ライヴパフォーマンスも希有の存在感
もう2度とこんな世界観を持った女性シンガーは日本から生まれないだろう

『あなたはどうぞ別の夢をかなえて』
『あなたはどうぞ別の人と歩いて』
歌詞の全てがまるでその後の御二人の結末を歌っているようで切なくなる。
