A live version (4:37) of the song was later released on his 1976 multi-platinum album Frampton Comes Alive!, where it gained popularity as a hit song, peaking at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The most popular cover version of this song by Big Mountain from 1994 is often mistakenly credited to Bob Marley and also to UB40 due to mislabeled MP3 files which circulated through P2P networks, similar to the artist confusion of the song Cat's in the Cradle.
Baby I Love Your Way
Big Mountain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh, baby, I love your way, every day
Shadows grow so long before my eyes
And they're moving across the page
Suddenly the day turns into night (ooh)
Far away from the city
'Cause your love just won't wait, ayy-yeah
Ooh, baby, I love your way, every day, yeah
I wanna tell you I love your way, every day, yeah
I wanna be with you night and day
The moon appears to shine and light the sky
With the help of some fireflies
I wonder how they have the power to shine, shine, shine
Well, I can see them under the pine
But don't, whoa no, no, hesitate, la-di-da
'Cause your love just won't wait, ayy-yeah
Ooh, baby, I love your way, every day, yeah
I wanna tell you I love your way, every day, ayy-yeah
I wanna be with you night and day
Whoa baby, oh baby, please, every day
How I love, how I love you, oh
I love your way
Ooh, baby please
I can see the sunset in your eyes
Brown and grey, and blue besides
Clouds are stalking islands in the sun
I wish I could buy one out of season
But don't, whoa no, no, hesitate, la-di-da
'Cause your love just won't wait (ayy-yeah), just won't wait
Ooh, baby, I love your way, every, every day
I wanna tell you I love your way
(I wanna tell you, how I love your little ways)
I wanna be with you night and day (every day and every way)
Billi-aboo-dee-dee-da-di-do-sta-da-bee-yeah
Ooh, baby, I love your way (ooh baby)
(How I love your little ways, yeah)
I wanna tell you I love your way (I wanna tell you how I)
(I wanna tell you how I love your little ways)
I wanna be with you night and day
(Biddi-aboo-see-da-ja-bee-da-di-yeah)
Ooh, baby, I love your way (ooh, baby, baby, baby)
