Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go
So won't you say you love me
I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make 'em turn their heads
Every place we go
So won't you please
(Be my be my baby) Be my little baby
(I want it only say) Say you'll be my darling
(Be my be my baby) Be my baby now
(I want it only say)
I'll make you happy, baby
Just wait and see
For every kiss you give me
I'll give you three
Oh, since the day I saw you
I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you
Till eternity
So won't you please
[Chorus: x2]
(Be my be my baby) Be my little baby
(I want it only say)
(Be my be my baby)
(I want it only say)
The lyrics to Brian & Dennis Wilson's "Be My Baby" express the deep desire someone can feel for another person, which in this case is a plea for them to reciprocate those feelings. The singer describes how from the moment they met this individual, they knew they needed them in their life and that they wouldn't want to lose them. The urgency and passion in these lines is palpable and make it clear that there is a strong emotional connection.
The second verse of the song is filled with promises of happiness, with the singer claiming that they will make the other person proud of them and turn heads everywhere they go. This sense of devotion and loyalty indicates the depth of feeling that the singer has for the object of their affections. The chorus reinforces this, with the singer begging the other person to be their beloved and promise to be their everything. The repetition of the phrase "Be my little baby" at the beginning and end of each chorus reinforces the central message of the song: a desperate plea for love and connection.
