That track won a Grammy Award and became an international 40 hit in many countries while also being featured in several films. Later singles with significant airplay include "You All Dat", "Move It Like This", and "Best Years of Our Lives" among others. Yet their commercial fortunes came in fits and starts after the 2002 album 'Move It Like This'. While barely releasing any more material, they toured often during the past decade, finally becoming a dormant project over the past several years as its members pursued other endeavors. This changed in October 2015 when a rejuvenated group released the album 'Ride With Me'.

Beautiful Girl
Baha Men Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your way to beautiful girl
That's why it'll never work you'll have me suicidal suicidal when you say its over
Dam all these beautiful girls
They only wanna do you dirt
They'll have you suicidal
When they say its over
Yeah it was back in 99 watchin movies all the time
Ooh when I went away for doin my first crime
The song "Beautiful Girl" by Baha Men is about a man who is head over heels in love with a beautiful girl. However, despite his deep admiration and love for her, he realizes that their relationship will never work out. Every time she mentions breaking up or ending their relationship, he becomes so devastated that he feels suicidal. The song talks about the pain and anguish that can arise from being in a toxic relationship with someone, especially if that person is extremely attractive.
The opening lyrics, "Beautiful girl, your way to beautiful girl/ That's why it'll never work, you'll have me suicidal, suicidal when you say it's over," expresses how the singer is completely smitten with the woman, yet he knows that he shouldn't be. He is so drawn to her physical appearance that he ignores all of the red flags in their relationship. The chorus that follows - "Dam all these beautiful girls/ They only wanna do you dirt/ They'll have you suicidal/ When they say it's over" - warns of the dangers of being too attracted to someone and how it can lead to a painful, emotionally draining relationship.
