Baby
Jagged Edge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're my
You're my
You're my baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
You're my baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, yeah-yeah (oh)

It was the summer 2001
All before the drama begun
When we first met
I seen you sitting out on your steps
You was broke down crying, a mess
So I interfered (whoa, whoa)
I asked what's the reason for tears
I was wishing you could tell me your fears
But I'll start with ya name
You told me how ya man playing games
So I said that it was time for a change
And you just laughed
But it looked like you ain't laughed in while (ooh)
I was glad that I could give you a smile
Then we both blushed
But really, girl, it ain't no rush
I was thinking girl that we can discuss
A future for us
'Cause homeboy just got you crushed
You need to leave that clown in the dust
Trust, I just want to talk
I'm thinking I can give you a call
And we can pick it up
Where we left off
I'll holla tomorrow (girl, I understand)

Girl, I understand you loyal to your man
And that's alright, oh baby
But that don't change the fact
That you fine and you stay crying every night, nah baby
Girl, you got to let him know
You can't live like this no more
Nah, baby
Can't see
Together you and me could be so special, baby (we could be so special, baby)

Our feelings get greater
A million days later
Talking all night we stay up but
Here comes your ex
Returned with the drama and stress
All the nonsense you just left, but yet you accept
and go back to try it again
Then return with a broken heart that I gotta mend?
That's unfair
I've only been your lover and friend
Homie there, he just front and pretend
But you don't care, the life he leads is unsafe
I would never place my hands to your face
But still I chase
Cat and mouse, first you kick him out
Then you at his house, what is that about?
I can't figure you out
Even your friend said I was better
But you listen to 'em never like, "Uh uh, whatever"
So the next time he hurt you again
You already knew where you should've been
And that's with me (I understand, baby)

Girl, I understand you loyal to ya man
And that's alright aww baby
But that don't change the fact that you fine
And you stay crying every night, nah baby
Girl you got to let him know
You can't live like this no more, nah baby
Can't you see
Together you and me could be so special, baby

All the times you 2way me, telling me that you miss me
Wanting me to come over and keep you busy
Remember that?
Now that you gone, it's been kinda hard
Can't think, can't sleep, can't do nothing at all
Just tell me why you had to go back
See you ain't have to go through that, my baby
You could've been here right by my side
Me and you at the park taking walks outside, but
Instead, I keep on having these dreams
Waiting for my phone to ring, my baby
Wishing that it'll be you
But I know that won't come true

Girl, I understand you loyal to ya man
And that's alright aww baby
But that don't change the fact that you fine
And you stay crying every night, nah baby
Girl you got to let him know
You can't live like this no more, nah baby
Can't you see
Together you and me could be so special, baby

Girl, I understand you loyal to ya man
And that's alright aww baby
But that don't change the fact that you fine
And you stay crying every night, nah baby
Girl you got to let him know
You can't live like this no more, nah baby
Can't you see
Together you and me could be so special, baby

Eh, you know, these little young boys out here rappin now




Back in my day you didn't have to have no gat to be no rapper
I well wish it could be like that again
