Be My Baby
Beyond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look into my eyes
Tell me you won't suffer for any other
Take away all these separate days
Be my double
Stay with me all through my life
Cross the Bridge of Sighs
Are we friends or lovers, or something other
Be my double, leave the past behind
Be my double, stay with me tonight

One on one all along
Oh, I need to be near you
Be my twin
One on one or alone
Oh, I need to be with you

Be my twin
Petrol blue your smile
Wrapped in sheer nostalgia of wealth and power
I'll cross your heart with a credit card

Be my double
Let me be your alibi
Forgery and style
Angel of desire, I'll feed your fire
Be my double, steal a brand new life
Be my double, stay with me tonight

One on one all along
Oh, I need to be near you
Be my twin
One on one or alone
Oh, I need to be with you
Be my twin
One on one all along
Oh, I need to be near you

Be my twin
(Be my mirror life)
(Be my past and present)
(Look into the future)
(Stay with me tonight)

One on one all along
Oh, I need to be near you
Be my twin
One on one or alone
Oh, I need to be with you

One on one all along
Oh, I need to be near you
Be my twin
One on one or alone
Oh, I need to be with you

One on one all along
Oh, I need to be near you
Be my twin




One on one or alone
Oh, I need to be with you
