My Baby You
Marc Anthony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see all the reasons why
My life's worth a thousand skies
You're the simplest love I've known
And the purest one I'll own
Know you'll never be alone
My baby you
And 'cause of you
I don't have to wonder why
Baby you
There's no more just getting by
You're the reason I feel so alive
Though these words I sing are true
They still fail to capture you
As mere words can only do
How do I explain that smile?
And how it turns my world around
Keeping my feet on the ground
My baby you
Are the reason I could fly
And 'cause of you
I don't have to wonder why
Baby you
There's no more just getting by
You're the reason I feel so alive
Oh
I will soothe you if you fall
I'll be right there if you call
You're my greatest love of all
You are the reason I could fly
And 'cause of you
I don't have to wonder why
My baby you
There's no more just getting by
'Cause you're the reason I feel so alive
Ariana I feel so alive
