Broken Heart
Babys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heard she's been seen around
I hear she gets
what she wants everytime
I know what she put you through
I know what you'd like to do
Cause I lost my heart
to her sometime ago
Wipe your tears away
It's all that you can do
A broken heart never mends
Crying tears til the very end
At home on the boulevard
Cheap whiskey and tarot cards
Man she's outrageous
She wants the best in life
Sugar daddies with again' wives
She's expensive everything she does
So come on
Wipe your tears away
It's all that you can do
A broken heart never mends
Crying tears til the very end
She knows what it must be like
Living in paradise
If you ain't got money she don't want to know
I know what she put you through
I know what you'd like to do
I lost my heart to her sometime ago
So come on
Wipe your tears away
It's all that you can do
When you've got a broken heart
Come on
Wipe your tears away
It's all that you can do
Oh yeah
The song "Broken Heart" by Babys is a heart-wrenching ballad about a man who is trying to move on from a woman who has left him for greener pastures. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song as the singer hears rumors that his ex-girlfriend is back in town and has been seen around. He knows that she gets everything she wants, and he understands too well what she put him through. He lost his heart to her sometime ago, and it seems that he is still hurting from the experience.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the pain of a broken heart that never mends. The singer is crying tears until the very end, and he is left to pick up the pieces of his life. The second verse paints a picture of the woman in question as someone who is outrageous and wants the best in life. She has sugar daddies with aging wives and is expensive in everything that she does.
The song's title is an obvious reference to the singer's broken heart, and Babys does an excellent job of conveying his emotions through the lyrics. The overall message of the song is that even though it's hard to move on from a breakup, you must wipe your tears away and keep going. It's a universal message that anyone who has experienced a broken heart can relate to.

Silver Dreams
For the last year
I've been searching
I needed something to believe
I'm a gambler
With my fortune
Trying to keep you up my sleeve
When I'm away
I fill my heart with
Dreams
I lose myself
Keep my silver dreams of you
Are you lonely
Are you crying
Are your tears for me
When I come home
And I touch you
What will our eyes see?
For the next year
I'll be traveling
Roads that take you far from me
Time can take love
Time can fade love
I hope that you'll remember me
When I'm away
I fill my heart with
Dreams
I lose myself
Keep my silver dreams of you
I lose myself dreaming silver dreams
I lose myself dreaming silver dreams
Silver dreams
Silver dreams
Ahh...

I'm Falling
I think I lose my mind, so don't cut the ties with me.
Baby I'm falling
Baby I'm falling
Your lies are killing me inside
And who is gonna quiet my pain?
Baby I'm falling
Baby I'm falling Baby
I thought that we could be more
Than just another mistake in my life
But you just watch me crawling
I thought that we keep on trying
To leave this world far behind
Can't you see, I'm falling, I'm falling
10 am: I'm barely getting sober
We fucked it up again and now it's over
Maybe I will make it on my own but
You know, I need your head upon on my shoulder
Yeah, You've been on my mind almost all the time
Don't tell me this is goodbye I don't wanna lose you like...
I think I lose my mind, so don't cut the ties with me
Baby I'm falling
Baby I'm falling
Your lies are killing me inside
And who is gonna quiet my pain?
Baby I'm falling
Baby I'm falling
I thought that we could be more
Than just another mistake in my life
But you just watch me crawling
I thought that we keep on tryin'
To leave this world far behind
Can't you see, I'm falling, I'm falling
I think I lose my mind, so don't cut the ties with me
Baby I'm falling
Baby I'm falling

This whole album is SO good. Man, those were the days. I STILL have this in my collection. It's a miracle that we both made it this far!
Endorphin Rider
You said it babe!!
Jerry Veilleux
Right!!! I can totally relate to that
Someone Somewhere
I loved this album but left all my records behind when I moved to the States. Have to replace this one. It's brilliant. Not cheap either. Still hot.
Jonathon Langford
Yeah, I’m pretty amazed I’m still here. This is such a great album.
Kerri Braddock
Mixing classical music with rock is genius just like ELO. So far ahead of its time. 10 out of 10. This whole album is genius. Released in the late 70’s. Still sounds good now in 2021.
Dink Martini
One of the few albums that doesn't have a bad track.
Frederick Glasser
Listening to John sing, it's like a narcotic: addicting, relaxing, euphoria. Swear I could listen to this on an endless loop. Really wish I had seen the group live.
Treff Bennett
The Baby's were pretty big but should have been HUGE! Perfect combination of aggression and melody, with Waite's vocals smooth and distinctive, Wally's "less is more" sturdy playing, clever arrangements....four or five essential albums with BROKEN HEART the gem of the bunch! Dig John Waite's solo stuff, as well. Peeps who saw em' live, but were there for other bands, were usually blown away by THE BABY'S talent!!! THAT IS FACT! YankeeDoodleDandy-awesome post, my friend! Blasted the hell out of it on killer headphones!

michael corby was the big part you left out, waite had a great voice but corby was the inspiriation for their sound.
