Baby Love
Aimer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh baby love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you
But all you do is treat me bad
Break my heart and leave me sad
Tell me, what did I do wrong
To make you stay away so long

'Cause baby love, my baby love
Been missing ya, miss kissing ya Instead of breaking up
Let's do some kissing and making up Don't throw our love away
In my arms why don't you stay
Need ya, need ya

Baby love, my baby love
Why must we separate, my love
All of my whole life through
I never loved no one but you
Why you do me like you do
I get this need

Oh, oh, need to hold you once again, my love
Feel your warm embrace, my love
Don't throw our love away
Please don't do me this way
Not happy like I used to be
Loneliness has got the best of me

My love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you
Why you do me like you do
After I've been true to you
So deep in love with you

Baby, baby, oh 'til it's hurtin' me
'Til it's hurtin' me
Oh, baby love




Don't throw our love away
Don't throw our love away
