Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh baby, baby
Oh baby, baby
How was I supposed to know
That something wasnt right here
Oh baby baby
I shouldnt have let you go
And now youre out of sight, yeah
Tell me baby
Cause I need to know now what weve got
My loneliness is killing me
I must confess, I still believe
When Im not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time
Oh baby, baby
The reason I breathe is you
Boy you got me blinded
Oh baby, baby
Theres nothing that I wouldnt do
Thats not the way I planned it
Show me, how you want it to be
Tell me baby
Cause I need to know now what weve got
Oh baby, baby
Oh baby, baby
Ah, yeah, yeah
Oh baby, baby
How was I supposed to know
Oh pretty baby
I shouldnt have let you go
I must confess, that my loneliness
Is killing me now
Dont you know I still believe
That you will be here
And give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time
I must confess that my loneliness
Is killing me now
Dont you know I still believe
That you will be here
And give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time
The lyrics of Britney Spears' hit song "Baby One More Time" speak of a longing for love and the agony of being apart from the person you love. The song opens with the repeated phrase "Oh baby, baby" which sets the tone of yearning and vulnerability. The lines "How was I supposed to know / That something wasn't right here" suggest a sense of confusion and uncertainty about the state of the relationship. The following line "I shouldnt have let you go / And now you’re out of sight, yeah" reveals regret and a desire to undo past mistakes.
The chorus, which is perhaps the most memorable part of the song, highlights the feeling of emptiness that comes with being away from a loved one. The repeated phrase "My loneliness is killing me / I must confess, I still believe" conveys a sense of desperation and the need to hold onto hope. The line "When I'm not with you I lose my mind / Give me a sign / Hit me baby one more time" is a plea for the person to come back, and is coupled with the metaphor of a physical blow ("hit me") to convey the intensity of the emotions involved.
The bridge, with its repetition of "Oh baby, baby", emphasizes the intensity of the singer's longing for love, while the final chorus reinforces the idea that the singer still believes, despite the odds. Overall, the lyrics of "Baby One More Time" capture the feeling of being young and in love, and the pain of separation and longing.
