Changed My Life
Baby Bash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you turned and walked away,
Tell me what to do.
I changed my life so I could be with you
But you turned and walked away
Tell me what to do
Somehow I know you still believe
Somehow I know you still believe
You interrupted my bliss
Fuck this I'm sorry
Used to be steak fish calamari
But now all you do is drink and party
Girl you ain't the greatest the greatest was Ali
In the words of the late great Bob Marley
No Woman, no cry, yes suh I do believe
I count my blessing every time I see my loved ones
Wondering why I be stressing of a silly woman
Boy get your head straight, boy get your head right
Keep on buzzin' with your cousin
Boy have a good time
Sometime I know it's right, sometimes I know it's wrong
Sometimes I do it big, sometimes I'm all alone
I changed my life so I could be with you
But you turned and walked away,
Tell me what to do.
I changed my life so I could be with you
But you turned and walked away
Tell me what to do
Somehow I know you still believe
Somehow I know you still believe
Up and down like a see-saw
Baby let me free fall
Me fall for that again
Don't make me hee haw
Never will I get caught up again
I'm gonna put that on my momma and my next of kin
They say money can't buy me happiness,
But it will brighten my day
They say money can't buy me happiness,
But it will brighten my day
Baby girl you dun did it
Girl I ain't wit it
Only problem in my life was you,
So good riddence
I'm out the door quick, feet first sideways
I'm checking out baby,
And breathin' some highway
I changed my life so I could be with you
But you turned and walked away,
Tell me what to do
I changed my life so I could be with you
But you turned and walked away
Tell me what to do
Somehow I know you still believe
Somehow I know you still believe
Money won't buy you happiness
But it will brighten your day
Money won't buy you happiness,
But it will brighten your day
In Baby Bash's song "Changed My Life," the singer addresses a woman who has walked out on him after he has changed his life to be with her. The lyrics express his frustration with her decision and his confusion about what to do. He had made significant changes in his life to try to be with her, but she still left. The singer also reflects on his own life and the value of his blessings, particularly his loved ones, compared to the silly woman who caused him so much stress. He ultimately decides to move on from the relationship and leave it behind, even though he acknowledges that she may still believe in him.
The song's lyrics can be seen as a cautionary tale about sacrificing too much for a relationship that ultimately does not work out. The singer has changed his life for this woman, but she still left, and now he is left to wonder what to do. He realizes that the relationship was not healthy for him and decides to move on, despite the pain and disappointment. The line "Money won't buy you happiness, but it will brighten your day" further emphasizes the message that relationships should be rooted in love and not material things.

And breathin' some highway
I am hitting the road and leaving this behind
