Baby I Love You
Destiny Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I should be getting roses
With kisses on my head
If you think that I'm joking
You better think again
We hang out in the evenings
But it's just the weekends
I blame myself for this but wait
It's your game
I've got a lot on my mind
And I can't be wasting more time
So I need ya to tell me boy
Do you hear everything I say
Do you wanna know about my day
Can you show me that you love me too
Can you love me
Can you love me
The way I love you
The way I love you
When we go out I feel like it's a table for one
I'm staring at your face while you're staring at your phone
I try to make you jealous and flirt with the waiter
But here I am still waiting for things to get better
I buy you chocolate cause I think you're special
I take pics of you cause you're such a model
I take you out and give you a show
I make you feel loved but what about me though
I've got a lot on my mind
And I can't be wasting more time
So I need ya to tell me boy
Do you hear everything I say
Do you wanna know about my day
Can you show me that you love me too
Can you love me
Can you love me
The way I love you
Ooh ooh
The way I love you
I'm not asking for much
Just show me
Just show me a little love
I'm not asking for much
Just show me
Just show me a little love
A little love
Cause I don't see it
Do you hear everything I say
Do you wanna know about my day
Can you show me that you love me too
Can you love me
Can you love me
The way I love you
Ooh ooh
Can you love me
Can you love me
The way I love you
Ooh ooh
Can you love me




Can you love me
The way I love you

Line by Line Meaning

I should be getting roses
I deserve romantic gestures and affection


With kisses on my head
I expect sweet, loving gestures from you


If you think that I'm joking
Don't underestimate the seriousness of my feelings


You better think again
Take my words seriously and reconsider your actions


We hang out in the evenings
We spend time together, but only on weekends


But it's just the weekends
Our time together is limited and not enough


I blame myself for this but wait
I take responsibility, but there's more to it


It's your game
You hold all the power and control the dynamics


I've got a lot on my mind
I have many thoughts and concerns


And I can't be wasting more time
I can't afford to keep investing without reciprocation


So I need ya to tell me boy
I need clear communication from you


Do you hear everything I say
Are you truly listening to my words and understanding?


Do you wanna know about my day
Do you have genuine interest in my daily life?


Can you show me that you love me too
Prove your love for me through actions


Can you love me
Are you capable of loving me?


The way I love you
With the same intensity and depth of my love for you


When we go out I feel like it's a table for one
I feel neglected and alone even when we're together


I'm staring at your face while you're staring at your phone
You prioritize your phone over our connection


I try to make you jealous and flirt with the waiter
I attempt to get your attention and make you value me


But here I am still waiting for things to get better
Despite my efforts, our relationship remains unsatisfying


I buy you chocolate cause I think you're special
I give you gifts to express my affection and admiration


I take pics of you cause you're such a model
I capture your beauty because I find you attractive


I take you out and give you a show
I make an effort to entertain and impress you


I make you feel loved but what about me though
I prioritize your emotions, but my own needs are neglected


Ooh ooh
Expressing a longing or desire


I'm not asking for much
My needs and expectations are reasonable


Just show me
Simply demonstrate


Just show me a little love
Give me some affection and care


Cause I don't see it
I feel a lack of love and attention from you

Lyrics: I love you
I love you, I love you
Baby, I love you, you are my life
My happiest moments weren't complete if you weren't by my side (you weren't by my side)
You're my relation in connection to the sun (connection to the sun)
With you next to me there's no darkness I can't overcome (I can't overcome)
You are my raindrops, I am the seed (I am the seed)
With you and God who's the sunlight I bloom and grow so beautifully (grow so beautifully)
Baby, I'm so proud, proud to be your girl (proud to be your girl)
You make the confusion go all away from this cold and mixed-up world
I am in love with you (I'm in love)
You set me free
I can't do this thing called life without you here with me
'Cause I'm dangerously in love with you (dangerously in love)
I'll never leave
Just, just keep lovin' me the way I love you lovin' me
'Cause I am in love with you (I'm in love)
You set me free
I can't do this thing called life without you here with me
'Cause I'm dangerously in love with you (dangerously in love)
I'll never leave
Just keep lovin' me the way I love you lovin' me
And I know you love me, love me for who I am (who I am)
'Cause years before I became who I am, baby, you were my man (baby, you were my man)
I know it ain't easy, easy lovin' me (easy lovin' me)
I appreciate the love and dedication from you to me (you to me)
Later on in my destiny I see myself having your child (see myself having your child)
I see myself being your wife and I see my whole future in your eyes (future in your eyes)
Thought of all my love for you sometimes makes me wanna cry (makes me cry)
Realize all my blessings, I'm grateful to have you by my side
I am in love with you (I'm in love)
You set me free (oh)
I can't do this thing called life without you here with me (do this thing)
'Cause I'm dangerously in love with you (in love with you)
I'll never leave
Just, just keep lovin' me the way I love you lovin' me (lovin' you)
'Cause I am in love with you (I'm so in love)
You set me free
I can't do this thing called life without you here with me (without you)
'Cause I'm dangerously in love with you (oh no, oh no)
I'll never leave
Just keep lovin' me the way I love you lovin' me (lovin' me)
Every time I see your face my heart smiles (every time I see your face my heart smiles)
Every time it feels so good it hurts sometimes (every time it feels so good it hurts sometimes)
Created in this world to love, to hold
To feel, to breathe, to live you
Dangerously in love, yeah
I am in love with you (I'm in love)
You set me free
I can't do this thing called life without you here with me (can't do this thing, yeah)
'Cause I'm dangerously in love with you (I love you, I love you, I love you)
I'll never leave
Just, just keep lovin' me the way I love you lovin' me (keep lovin' me, oh no)

You set me free (I'm in love with you)
I can't do this thing called life without you here with me (I cannot do, I cannot do anything)

Just keep lovin' me the way I love you loving me (lovin' me dangerously)
Dangerously, dangerous, dangerously in love (dangerous, dangerous)
With you ooh (dangerous, dangerously in love)
Oh I love you
I love, I love, I love, I love, I love you (I love you)
I love you, oh yes (I love you, I love you, I love you)
