Overall Meaning

Flamingosis's song "Finesse (Hey Baby)" is a song about begging for forgiveness after being wronged in a relationship. The song features repetitive lyrics, mostly consisting of the phrases "Hey, Baby" and "Subwoman" with occasional verses. The song starts with the phrase "Yeah" repeated thrice, probably signifying the singer's eagerness to communicate his thoughts. The phrase "Hey Baby" and "Subwoman" could signify two different things or people. It may be that the singer is torn between two women whom he has been in a relationship before. The singer could be emphasizing his plea by addressing both women in the chorus. It could also mean that the woman, whom the singer is begging for forgiveness, represents both women that he's involved with.


The verses show remorse and regret for not being strong enough to let go of the woman even after she caused him hurt. The lyrics "Instead, I end up on my knees, begging you to please forgive me. I know you know you were wrong, but my love for you is, oh, so strong" show the desperation of the singer, who wants to make amends and probably wants the woman to give their relationship another chance. The song ends with repetitive chanting of "Say, baby" and "Hey, Baby" mixed with apologies and promises of eternal love.
