Anybody Seen My Baby?
Groove Da Praia 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
In the song "Anybody Seen My Baby" by Groove Da Praia, the lyrics depict a heartfelt longing for a lost love. The singer recounts how the woman, who had professed her love, suddenly disappeared, leaving him unable to hold onto their relationship. The lyrics describe her as not only beautiful but also ethereal, with a down-to-earth charm. The singer reflects on the moment when he realizes that she is truly gone, and he can no longer find her.
The second verse brings an element of hope as the singer spots a woman who resembles his lost love, getting on a motorbike and giving him a wave. However, as he searches for her in the crowd, he becomes overwhelmed with sorrow, shedding "salty tears" in the afternoon. The song expresses the pain of not being able to find the person he loves, feeling blind and lost without her.
Throughout the lyrics, there is a sense of desperation and longing conveyed by the repeated question, "Anybody seen my baby?" The singer feels as though he has been searching endlessly for her, calling her a thousand times, and begins to wonder if she was just a figment of his imagination.

She confessed her love to me

Trying to hold on to that was just impossible
Attempting to keep her love was extremely difficult
She was more than beautiful
She possessed a beauty that exceeded ordinary standards
Closer to ethereal
Almost otherworldly in her appearance
With a kind of down to earth flavor
Despite her ethereal nature, she had a relatable and grounded quality
Close my eyes
Shutting my eyes
It's three in the afternoon
It is three o'clock in the afternoon

Anybody seen my baby
Has anyone encountered the person I love

She has become misplaced among a large group of people
And I was flippin' magazines
And I was casually flipping through magazines
In that place on Mercer street
In that particular location on Mercer street
When I thought I spotted her
When I believed I saw her
And getting on a motor bike
And getting 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 hand gesture?
Salty tears
Tears with a slightly salty taste
It's three in the afternoon
It is three o'clock in the afternoon

If I simply shut my eyes
