Little Birdy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Am I too stupid to see
When I get home to see you
I rush after your charms
Its naughty, to be here
And my love song for you, babe
Then I'm lyin on top of you
Wait I can not see
It's naughty to be here
It's naughty
But I can't say that I love you anymore
I just want to make you happy
Just living for today
Baby Blue I'm yours
But I only wish it was my plan
Change the wild love song
To the one you hate
Is it all that your waiting for
Patience and you'll see
That in too long you'll be alone
You let me go
It's naughty to be here
It's naughty
But I can't say that I love you anymore
I just want to make you happy
Just living for today
Baby Blue I'm yours
But I only wish it was my plan
Change the wild love song
To the one you hate
But I can't say that I love you anymore
I just want to make you happy
Just living for today
Baby Blue I'm yours
But I only wish it was my plan
Change the wild love song
To the one you hate
It's naughty to be here
It's naughty
The song "Baby Blue" by Little Birdy is a bittersweet love song that has a lot of raw emotion encapsulated in its lyrics. The song begins with the singer questioning whether they are too young or too stupid for their partner and articulating their immediate attraction towards them. The lyrics in the chorus reveal a complicated relationship - the singer feels that they cannot say that they love their partner anymore, but they only want to make their partner happy in the moment. The bridge talks about waiting for the relationship to stabilize and for the patience to give them a clear understanding of the future. The song concludes with the singer admitting to feeling conflicted and guilty for their feelings, stating that it's naught to be there, but they are in a state of limbo.
The lyrics suggest a love story that is marred with ambiguity and confusion. The singer seems to be feeling guilty for their attraction while also seeking to find a balance in their relationship. The song talks about the struggle of being in limbo between loving someone and letting them go. The lyrics in "Baby Blue" come alive with the help of the melody, which follows the ebb and flow of the lyrics' emotional trajectory.

Am I too young for you, babe
I'm wondering if my age is a problem for you
Am I too stupid to see
I'm questioning whether I'm naive for not seeing something
When I get home to see you
I'm eager to see you when I arrive home
I rush after your charms
I'm irresistibly drawn to your enticing qualities
Its naughty, to be here
I know it's inappropriate to be in this situation
And my love song for you, babe
This song is my declaration of love for you
Is it all that you propose
Is my love enough for you?
Then I'm lyin on top of you
I'm physically intimate with you
Wait I can not see
I realize that this relationship may not be right
It's naughty to be here
I know it's wrong for us to be together
But I can't say that I love you anymore
I'm starting to doubt my love for you
I just want to make you happy
I'm willing to do what it takes to make you happy
Just living for today
I'm not thinking about the future, only the present
Baby Blue I'm yours
I belong to you, Baby Blue
But I only wish it was my plan
This isn't the life I envisioned for myself
Change the wild love song
I need to change my crazy infatuation with you
To the one you hate
To a more compatible type of love for you
Is it all that your waiting for
Is my love what you're expecting?
Patience and you'll see
If you give me time, things will work out
That in too long you'll be alone
If you don't wait, you'll end up alone
You let me go
If you don't wait, you'll lose me

I didn't think it was possible for an Aussie female performer to be any sexier than Chrissie Amphlett(back in the day), that plus decent songs as well!
