The group's debut, 'Junkanoo', was released in 1992, and it was very traditional in its sound. They soon began aiming their music at a more mainstream pop and dance music audience, however, and the Baha Men finally succeeded in breaking through with their 2000 remake of "Who Let the Dogs Out?", originally composed by Anslem Douglas.

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'.

I'm Walking
Baha Men Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm walkin'
Yes indeed, I'm talkin'
By you and me, I'm hopin'
That you'll come back to me, yeah, yeah

I'm lonely
Yes I can be, I'm waitin'
For your company, I'm hopin'

That you'll come back to me

What you gonna do when the well runs dry?
You gonna run away and hide
I'm gonna run right by your side
For you pretty baby I'll even die

I'm walkin'
Yes indeed I'm talkin'
By you and me, I'm hopin'
That you'll come back to me

I'm walkin'
Yes indeed, I'm talkin'
By you and me, I'm hopin'
That you'll come back to me, yeah, yeah

I'm lonely
Yes I can be, I'm waitin'
For your company, I'm hopin'
That you'll come back to me

What you gonna do when the well runs dry?
You're gonna sit right down and cry
What you gonna do when I say bye-bye
All you gonna do is dry your eye

I'm walkin'
Yes indeed, I'm talkin'

By you and me, I'm hopin'
That you'll come back to me

Overall Meaning

The song "I'm Walking" by the Baha Men is a classic love song that revolves around lost love and the hope for reunion. The song's lyrics are simple, yet expressive and convey a strong feeling of longing and longing for the return of a loved one. The lyrics describe the singer's loneliness and their wait for their loved one to return. They are hoping that their loved one will come back to them.

The song begins with the singer stating that they are walking and talking. The use of the phrase "I'm walkin'" suggests that the singer is doing something proactive and forwards. The line "By you and me, I'm hopin'" hints that the singer is addressing someone in particular, someone whom they were once close to. The following two lines, "That you'll come back to me, yeah, yeah" confirm the singer's desire to be reunited with this person.

The second verse continues the theme of loneliness and waiting. The line "Yes I can be, I'm waitin'" is direct, and the subsequent phrase, "For your company," is indicative of the singer's emptiness without their loved one. The chorus is a repetition of the first verse, emphasizing the singer's determination to reunite with their loved one.

The third and final verse delivers the message in a more assertive manner; the use of the line, "What you gonna do when the well runs dry?" suggests that the singer is getting impatient with their loved one's absence. The following lines convey the singer's conviction that they will remain by their loved one's side and that they are willing to die for them. The chorus is repeated once more, ending the song on the same hopeful, optimistic note.
