Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, don't worry
Don't worry, oh, no, no, no

Oh me, oh my
Pretty baby, don't be shy
Oh me, oh my
I'm gonna tell you why
Oh me, oh my
Pretty baby, don't be shy
Oh me, oh my
I'm gonna tell you why

You're so attractive
Why are you behaving like this
As if you've got doubts inside
Baby, there's no reason to hide

Oh me, oh my
Pretty baby, don't be shy
Oh me, oh my
I'm gonna tell you why

Oh me, oh my
Pretty baby, don't be shy
Oh me, oh my
I'm gonna tell you why

Not only good looking
You'd like to taste so fine cuisine
For you they'd make vacancy
Baby, you've got you Ph.D.

Oh me, oh my
Pretty baby, don't be shy
Oh me, oh my
I'm gonna tell you why

Oh me, oh my
Pretty baby, don't be shy
Oh me, oh my
I'm gonna tell you why

Mmm yeah
Ah ah ah
Ooh ooh baby

Baby, you've got class
You're boss
You know how to treat a man
Don't change your thing

Darling, I'm so proud of you
Your examples are so true

Oh me, oh my
Pretty baby, don't be shy
Oh me, oh my
I'm gonna tell you why

Oh me, oh my
Pretty baby, don't be shy
Oh me, oh my
I'm gonna tell you why

You're so attractive
Why are you behaving like this
As if you've got doubts inside
Baby, there's no reason to hide

Oh me, oh my
Pretty baby, don't be shy
Oh me, oh my
I'm gonna tell you why

Oh me, oh my
Pretty baby, don't be shy
Oh me, oh my
I'm gonna tell you why

Not only good looking
You'd like to taste so fine cuisine
For you they'd make vacancy
Baby, you've got you Ph.D.

Oh me, oh my
Pretty baby, don't be shy




Oh me, oh my
I'm gonna tell you why

I found a Garnett Silk cassette tape on the entertainment stand when I was around 6 or 7 and played it every day and night when I wasn't outside running around or in the house doing something with the family. I remember my older sisters and mother telling me that he passed away years earlier, but I couldn't understand or accept that such a beautiful soul as his could be taken away so I began to cry and cried for days after that when I heard his gifted voice through music. Rest with Jah, Garnet
