Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She was standin' on the floor
And it hit me like a bolt of lightnin'
Baby when she walked through the door
And the time was right
Stars were shinin' bright
And I kept fallin' oh
Yes it may sound funny to you
Now she's my baby blue
Well, it was a jumpin' night
And everybody playin' their games
When I saw her in the light I knew I'd
Never be the same
Yes the stars were bright
A jumpin' Friday night
And I kept fallin' yeah, yes
Yes it may sound funny to you
Oh she's my baby blue
There's no lines between us
No games we play
So why wait 'till tomorrow, baby
When we can live today
And now I'm the light
The light that's shinin' bright
In her eyes, oh yes
Well it may sound funny to you
Oh, shes my baby blue
Oh now listen, it may sound funny to you
Oh, she's my baby blue
The song "Baby" by Blackfoot is a heartfelt and nostalgic love song about a man's first love. In the first verse, the singer recalls the moment he first laid eyes on her and the feeling of being struck by an electric shock. The stars were shining bright, and he found himself falling deeper in love with each passing moment. The second verse continues the love story with a jumpin' Friday night and him seeing her in the light which makes him feel like he's never going to be the same again. In the final verse, he expresses his love by saying that there are no lines or games when it comes to their relationship. He encourages his lover not to wait until tomorrow but instead to live in the moment. The song's refrain "Baby when she walked through the door, oh now listen it may sound funny to you, but she's my baby blue" is an ode of Love to his soulmate.
