Baby I Love Your Way
Chrissie Hynde/UB40 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyday, yeah
Shadows grow so long before my eyes,
and they're moving across the page.
Suddenly the day turns into night,
Far away from the city.
But don't, oh no, hesitate, 'cause your love just won't wait
Ooh Baby I love your way. Everyday, yeah yeah
Wanna tell you I love your way. Everyday yeah yeah
Wanna be with you night and day.
Moon appears to shine and light the sky
With the help of some firefly.
Wonder how they have the power to shine,
Shine, shine, shine,
I can see them under the pine.
But don't, oh no, hesitate, 'cause your love just won't wait
Ooh baby I love you way. Everyday, yeah yeah
Wanna tell you I love your way. Everyday, yeah yeah
I wanna be with you night and day.
Oh baby, oh baby please,
Everyday, yeah,
I will love, I will love ya,
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.
Oh don't hesitate, 'cause your love just won't wait (just won't wait)
Ooh baby I love your way (every, everyday)
I wanna tell you I love your way
I wanna be with you night and day (Everyday, every way)
Ooh baby I love your way(Ooh baby, ow, I love your little way)
I wanna tell I love your way
I wanna be with you night and day
(until fade)
In "Baby I Love Your Way," Chrissie Hynde and UB40 express their deep affection for someone and their desire to be with them every day and night. The song portrays a sense of longing and admiration for this person.
The lyrics start by describing shadows growing long before the singer's eyes, symbolizing a sense of darkness or uncertainty. The day turns into night, suggesting a physical distance from the city or the person they love. Despite this, the singer urges their loved one not to hesitate because their love cannot wait.
The moon's appearance is described as shining and lighting up the sky, aided by the presence of fireflies. This imagery highlights the beauty and wonder of nature and serves as a metaphor for the loved one's ability to light up the singer's life. The mention of the pine tree suggests a calm and peaceful setting where the fireflies can be seen.
The third verse introduces the idea of seeing the sunset in the loved one's eyes, which is described using colors such as brown, grey, and blue. This imagery suggests a deep emotional connection and the ability to see different moods and landscapes reflected in their eyes. Additionally, the singer expresses a desire to buy an island out of season, which could symbolize an unconventional longing or a desire for something unattainable.
Throughout the song, the refrain repeats the declaration of love and the desire to be with the person night and day.

The song eventually fades out, leaving the impression that the love and longing expressed in the lyrics could persist indefinitely.
Overall, "Baby I Love Your Way" encapsulates the sensation of being deeply in love, yearning for a special someone, and cherishing every aspect of their presence.
