baby love
Annie Philippe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 start 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

Baby love, my baby love, why must we separate my love?
All of my whole life through
I never love no one but you
Why you do me like you do, I guess it's me
Ooh, 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 ya oh how I need ya
Why you do me like you do
After I've been true to you
So deep in love with you
Baby, baby ooh
'Til it hurt me, 'til it hurt me
Ooh baby love




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

Overall Meaning

Annie Philippe's Baby Love is an emotional ballad about a woman desperately trying to salvage her failing relationship with her lover. The first verse sets the tone, as she expresses her need for her partner, but also her hurt over the way she is being treated. Philippe reveals that despite her love for him, he is constantly breaking her heart and leaving her sad. Pleading for an explanation, she asks what she did wrong to make him stay away for so long. However, despite all the problems they face, Philippe still misses him terribly and wants to make up and kiss and make up.


In the second verse, Philippe's sense of desperation grows as she begs her lover to come back to her. She questions why they must separate when she has loved no one but him her whole life. Philippe seems confused and hurt about why he treats her the way he does, acknowledging that it could be her fault, but wanting to feel his warm embrace once again. However, she is aware that their love is in danger of being thrown away and begs him not to give up on her. She reveals that she is deeply unhappy and lonely without him, but still holds onto the hope that they can work things out.


Overall, Baby Love is a heart-wrenching plea for reconciliation in a relationship that has gone wrong. Annie Philippe's powerful vocals and heart-on-sleeve lyrics make it a classic of its era.

Ouh ouh
Baby love, my baby love
Dis-moi pourquoi, oh oh
Fais-tu ça ?
Je ne pourrai pas deux fois
Aimer de cet amour là
Mais que t'ai-je fait, dis-moi,
Pour que ton coeur efface tout ?
Oh ! Baby love, my baby love
Je t'en supplie !
Que faut-il croire
Si ton amour s'endort,
Si ton sourire n'est plus pour moi ?
Chaque jour et chaque nuit
Chaque heure aussi
Me seront tristes, tristes
Baby love, ouh ouh, baby love
Baby love, my baby love
Ce n'est pas vrai,
Dis que tu mentais !
Que c'était une erreur
Que tu voulais me faire peur
Afin de juger mon cœur
Et pour moi, oui, oui, oui !
Je pardonnerai
Je pardonne encore tout cela
J'oublierai, vois-tu,
Que tu ne m'aimes plus
Que je reste perdue
Et nous revivrons tout
Ensemble, tout !
Tu seras toujours
My baby love,
Je ne pourrai pas deux fois
Aimer de cet amour-là
Mais que t'ai-je fait, dis-moi ?
Baby, baby, baby
C'est donc fini
Oui, c'est bien fini
Baby love, ouh ouh, baby love
Quelqu'un t'attend déjà
Tu t'éloignes de moi
