Just My Baby And Me
Clarence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But my baby don't love nobody but me, nobody but me
Oh, everybody wants my baby
But my baby don't want nobody but me; that's plain to see
Yes, she got a foam like Venus
Honest, I ain't talking Greek
No one can come between us She's my Sheba, I am her Sheik
Yes, everybody loves my baby
But my baby love nobody but me, yeah, nobody but me
The song "Everybody Loves My Baby" is about a man boasting about how many people love his significant other but reassuring himself that she only loves him. The first verse says that everyone loves his baby, but she doesn't love anyone other than him. It hints that the man may be insecure and is proud to have someone so widely desired, but he wants to make sure that she stays loyal to him. The second verse describes his baby's beauty, comparing it to Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty. The man claims that no one can come between them and that they are like royalty, with him as her Sheik and her as his Sheba.
The theme of the song may reflect the idea of envy and jealousy, as the man gains a sense of pride from everyone wanting his baby, yet at the same time it causes him stress, as he constantly worries about her faithfulness. However, the lyrics illustrate the strong bond between the couple, with an emphasis on their mutual love for each other. It's a song that conveys a sense of love that is passionate, protective, and possessive.
