I Got My Baby
Faith Hill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Diggin' around
Feelin' so down
Floatin' around like a feather
Nothin' but me

And all of my dreams
Trying to hold it together
Those were long days
Long days indeed

Could not avoid
I felt no joy
No relief

Everyone knows
When that's how it goes
It's usually bound to get better
So when you arrived

I looked in your eyes
And all I could see was forever
What a fine day
A fine day indeed

When you showed up I fell in love
Now look at me

I got my baby
I got those good times
Don't lack no sunshine
Baby I got you

Darlin', I find you're blowin' my mind
Every time that I hold you
Better than gold
The deeper we go

Nobody knows it like I do
These are sweet days
Sweet days indeed
A love that flows
Will always grow
Now can't you see

I got my baby
I got those good times
Don't lack no sunshine
Baby I got you

Red hot and no blues
Got no more bad news
I got my baby
Baby, I got you

And on and on
Oh what a love affair
And on and on
Oh, I will always be there
Yeah
Oh baby

I got my baby
I got those good times
Don't lack no sunshine
Baby I got you

Red hot and no blues
Got no more bad news
I got my baby
Baby, I got you

I got my baby
I got those good times
Don't lack no sunshine
Baby I got you

Yes, I do




Red hot and no blues
Got no more bad news

Overall Meaning

The song "I Got My Baby" by Faith Hill was released in 1998 as part of her album "Faith". The song tells a story of a woman who was feeling down and lost, but the arrival of her love interest changed everything. The opening lines, "Diggin' around, feelin' so down, floatin' around like a feather, nothin' but me and all of my dreams, trying to hold it together," indicate that the singer was feeling lost and directionless, with no clear idea of where she was headed. These are the "long days" that she speaks of.


The singer goes on to say that she "could not avoid" feeling no joy or relief, which is a relatable feeling for anyone who has gone through tough times. However, she holds onto the hope that things will get better, and when her love interest arrives, she knows that "all [she] could see was forever". The song then goes on to celebrate the joy that her relationship has brought her, with the lyrics "better than gold, the deeper we go, nobody knows it like I do".


The song is a powerful testament to the transformative power of love, and how it can change a person's life for the better. The powerful chorus of "I got my baby, I got those good times, don't lack no sunshine, baby I got you" cements the message that the singer doesn't need anything else but her love interest to feel complete and happy.
