Be My Baby
F. Dee Johnson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If it was all a dream and then I woke up
It'd be worth it if you broke my heart
It'd be worth it if you broke my heart in two
I don't even know what to think
We've only been on like, two dates
You'd be worth it if you broke my heart
It'd be so easy for you to do
I'd let you rip me to shreds
Doot doo doo doo
Doot doo doo doo
I need some preparation for that pretty face
When I see it I think, "This Must Be The Place"
It'd all be worth it if you broke my heart
Yeah, you'll be worth it when you break my heart in two
I think that I could use some sun
I think that I should go buy a gun
But I've had my eye on a pistol like you instead
It comes naturally to you
And when given the chance
I'd let you shoot me down dead
Nice, baby
And it's alright
It's alright and you're so nice, baby
It's so nice, it's so nice
You're so nice
And it's so nice to get lost in your eyes, baby
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright, baby
You're really a treasure to hangout with
Just a couple 'cowboys smoking cigarettes all day
We should do it again sometime, yeah
Or maybe, like, a million more times
The lyrics of F. Dee Johnson's song Be My Baby express a conflicted love interest who feels enamored by the person they're dating, even though they don't fully understand why. They describe their date as a magical potion, and how it'd be worth it even if their heart was broken by this person. They think about this person all the time, even when they're considering buying a gun. The singer is caught up in the thrall of attraction and doesn't know what to think, but they're happy to go along with the ride.
The emotions behind the lyrics depict the tumultuous feelings of new love, specifically in feeling an intense attraction to someone who might not be good for you or aware of your feelings. It highlights the feeling of being willing to risk the heartbreak, and even death because it's all worth it to be close to them. It also depicts how people can be drawn to someone without having any tangible reason why. The song is written in a playful, slightly ironic manner to highlight the folly of these feelings.

I want to spend more time with you and hope you feel the same
Or maybe, like, a million more times
I never want to stop being around you and want to continue this relationship forever
