Be My Baby
Graham BLVD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then she vanished on the breeze
Trying to hold on to that was just impossible
She was more than beautiful
Closer to ethereal
With a kind of down to earth flavor
Close my eyes
It's three in the afternoon
That she's really gone for good
Anybody seen my baby
Anybody seen her around
Love has gone and made me blind
I've looked but I just can't find
She has gotten lost in the crowd
And I was flippin' magazines
In that place on Mercer street
When I thought I spotted her
And getting on a motor bike
Looking really lady like
Didn't she just give me a wave?
Salty tears
It's three in the afternoon
Has she disappeared
Has she really gone for good
Anybody seen my baby
Anybody seen her around
If I just close my eyes
I reach out and touch the prize
Anybody seen her around
Oh yeah that's what I'm sayin'
We came to rock for Brooklyn
And Queens and Long Island
And all over the world
We came to rock for everybody like this
Anybody seen my baby (anybody, anybody seen my baby)
Anybody seen her, anybody seen her around
If I just close my eyes
I reach out, I reach out and touch the prize
Anybody seen her around
anybody seen my baby
Anybody seen her around (lost, lost and never found)
(Oh yeah) I must have called her a thousand times
Oh, sometimes I think she's just in my imagination

Line by Line Meaning
She confessed her love to me
She openly expressed her love for me
Then she vanished on the breeze
Then she disappeared suddenly as if carried away by the wind
Trying to hold on to that was just impossible
Attempting to hold onto that love was futile
She was more than beautiful
She possessed a beauty that surpassed mere physical appearance
Closer to ethereal
She had a celestial quality, almost otherworldly
With a kind of down to earth flavor
Despite her ethereal nature, she had a relatable and grounded essence
Close my eyes
I shut my eyes
It's three in the afternoon
It is currently three o'clock in the afternoon
Then I realize
Then I come to the realization
That she's really gone for good
That she has truly left and will not return
Anybody seen my baby
Has anyone encountered my beloved
Anybody seen her around
Has anyone spotted her recently
Love has gone and made me blind
Love has caused my sight to be obscured
I've looked but I just can't find
I have searched, but I am unable to locate her
She has gotten lost in the crowd
She has become lost amidst a group of people
And I was flippin' magazines
And I was casually looking through magazines
In that place on Mercer street
In that specific location on Mercer Street
When I thought I spotted her
When I believed I saw her
And getting on a motor bike
And climbing onto a motorcycle
Looking really lady like
Appearing elegant and feminine
Didn't she just give me a wave?
Didn't she just greet me with a wave?
Salty tears
Tears mixed with salt, indicating sadness
Has she disappeared
Has she vanished
Has she really gone for good
Has she truly departed without a possibility of return
If I just close my eyes
If I simply shut my eyes
I reach out and touch the prize
I extend my hand to grasp the desired outcome
Oh yeah that's what I'm sayin'
Oh yes, that's what I am expressing
We came to rock for Brooklyn
We arrived to perform energetic music for the people of Brooklyn
And Queens and Long Island
As well as the areas of Queens and Long Island
And all over the world
And in various locations globally
We came to rock for everybody like this
We came to entertain everyone with our music in this manner
I must have called her a thousand times
I must have made a thousand phone calls to her
Oh, sometimes I think she's just in my imagination
Sometimes I believe she exists solely in my imagination
