Born To Be My Baby
Bon Jovi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rainy night and we worked all day
We both got jobs 'cause there's bills to pay
We got something they can't take away
Our love, our lives

Close the door, leave the cold outside
I don't need nothing when I'm by your side
We got something that'll never die
Our dreams, our pride

My heart beats like a drum (all night)
Flesh to flesh, one to one (and it's alright)
And I'll never let go cause
There's something I know deep inside

You were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But I bet he must have had a plan
'Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

Light a candle, blow the world away
Table for two on a TV tray
It ain't fancy, baby that's OK
Our time, our way

So hold me close better hang on tight
Buckle up, baby, it's a bumpy ride
We're two kids hitching down the road of life
Our world, our fight

If we stand side by side (all night)
There's a chance we'll get by (and it's alright)
And I'll know that you'll be live
In my heart 'til the day that I die

'Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But I bet he must have had a plan
'Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

My heart beats like a drum (all night)
Flesh to flesh, one to one (and it's alright)
And I'll never let go cause
There's something I know deep inside

'Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But I bet he must have had a plan

'Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man





You were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

@Fritha71

Whenever I watch this video, my mind is cast back to December 1988, just before Christmas. I was a seventeen year old huge Bon Jovi fan here in Finland. This is what I wrote in my Bon Jovi diary on the day I first saw it:
*December 17 1988
I saw the video for Born to Be My Baby… I couldn't help but cry while looking at it because there, captured on film, were all the things I had longed to see: the affection, the camaraderie, Jonny…

The video was shot in black and white and in some ways it was very plain, the concept being very basic: the guys are in the studio and supposedly recording 'Baby. But all the rest of it! All that which most people won't detect and understand; with Jonny and Richie singing in the same mic "…you were born to be my baby…" while looking at each other, both smiling and Christ, just really LOVING each other. One can detect it so clearly… The other lovely moment occurred when Jon was hugging this girl - not sure who it was but the hug was a warm one… The kind of hug I would like to have from him, as well. And at that moment he was open for everyone to see.

So yeah, I really liked the video a lot. I grew attached to it already.*

Once in a while I go back and read my diary from those days and smile to myself. Ah, the golden 80s =)



@martinkuliza

+Patricia Morais Unfortunately it's disappeared with time my dear. like dust in the wind.
look on the bright side, we still do have Jon and Bon Jovi.
you know what though.
recently Malcolm from ACDC was forced to leave ACDC due to health issues.


Michael Jackson passed on us not to long ago.
now for me, Bon Jovi really helped me grow up and understand life.


when he passes ,(and i'm dreading the day) i'm gonna pretty sad for a long time.
you can't but help think about it
jon is only around 7 - 10 older than i am , and i dread the day he passes.
i hope he lives to like 100 and i live to around 87 or so , so i don't have to see it


they were good times huh.
the slow dancers the romance the general feel of the whole time...
Silent Night, Living in Sin, Born to be my baby, She don't know me
and so on..

Rainy night and we worked all day
We both got jobs 'cause there's bills to pay
We got something they can't take away
Our love, our lives

Close the door, leave the cold outside
I don't need nothing when I'm by your side
We got something that'll never die
Our dreams, our pride

My heart beats like a drum (all night)
Flesh to flesh, one to one (and it's alright)
And I'll never let go cause
There's something I know deep inside

You were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But I bet he must have had a plan
'Cause you were born to be my baby

Light a candle, blow the world away
Table for two on a TV tray
It ain't fancy, baby that's OK
Our time, our way

So hold me close better hang on tight
Buckle up, baby, it's a bumpy ride
We're two kids hitching down the road of life
Our world, our fight

If we stand side by side (all night)
There's a chance we'll get by (and it's alright)
And I'll know that you'll be live
In my heart till the day that I die

'Cause you were born to be my baby

'Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But I bet he must have had a plan

'Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

You were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

Pero Alec j such solo tocaba en vivo... Con el tiempo salió a la luz que no grabo un solo disco de estudio solo tocaba en vivo. El que grababa en los discos es el actual bajista.
