Try It Baby
Chris Clark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're leaving me behind
Everybody seems to love you
Oh, you're doing just fine, fine, fine
But take away your good looks
And all your fancy clothes
Why don't you just
Try it baby
Try it baby
Try it baby
You'll see
Nobody loves you but me
Now you tell me that you're so busy, pretty baby
You ain't got much time
Oh, how will I remember
When all your time was mine, mine, mine
Well move on back cross the track, baby
Where you came from
Why don't you just
Try it baby
Try it baby
Try it baby
Try it baby
You'll see
That nobody loves you but me
Nobody loves you but me
I really want to hold you, pretty baby
In my arms again
But I can't get close to you
For all your loving friend, friend, friend
But take your name from the bright lights baby
And tell me that you are all through
Come on and
Try it honey
Try it baby
Try it sweetheart
Try it honey
You'll see, nobody loves you but me
The lyrics to Chris Clark's song Try It Baby convey a sense of nostalgia and longing for a lost love. The singer addresses their former lover, acknowledging that they have moved on and are doing well, but ultimately conveying that nobody truly cares for them as deeply as the singer does. The lines "take away your good looks and all your fancy clothes" suggest that the singer values their former partner for more than just their physical appearance or material possessions. The repeated refrain of "try it baby" implies that the singer is urging their former love to come back and give their relationship a second chance. The use of words like "honey," "pretty baby," and "sweetheart" convey a sense of affection and endearment.
In the second verse, the singer conveys their sadness and frustration that they no longer have their former partner's undivided attention. They implore the ex to "move on back cross the track," suggesting that they've strayed too far from their roots or from what they once had with the singer. Despite this, the singer remains hopeful that the ex will come back to them, as evidenced by the repeated entreaties to "try it" and the assurance that "nobody loves you but me." The closing lines of the song express the singer's desire to physically hold their former love again, but it seems unlikely as the ex is now surrounded by "loving friends."
Line by Line Meaning
Now you're moving on up, pretty baby
You're making progress in your life, leaving me behind
You're leaving me behind
You're leaving me behind as you get ahead in your life
Everybody seems to love you
Many people are fond of you
Oh, you're doing just fine, fine, fine
You're doing very well for yourself
But take away your good looks
If you didn't look good
And all your fancy clothes
And didn't wear fancy clothes
Why don't you just
Why not try to
Try it baby, Try it baby
See what happens if you do
You'll see
Nobody loves you but me
I am the only one who truly loves you
Now you tell me that you're so busy, pretty baby
You inform me that you are very busy
You ain't got much time
You don't have much time anymore
Oh, how will I remember
How will I forget
When all your time was mine, mine, mine
When we used to spend all your time together
Well move on back cross the track, baby
Go back to where you came from
Why don't you just
Why not try to
Try it baby, Try it baby
See what happens if you do
You'll see
That nobody loves you but me
I am the only one who truly loves you
I really want to hold you, pretty baby
I really want to hug you
In my arms again
To hold you close again
But I can't get close to you
I can't be with you as much as I want
For all your loving friend, friend, friend
Because you have many friends who love you
But take your name from the bright lights baby
Forget about fame and fortune
And tell me that you are all through
And tell me you're done with all of that
Come on and Try it honey, Try it baby, Try it sweetheart, Try it honey
Give it a chance and try it out
You'll see, nobody loves you but me
I am the only one who truly loves you
