Too Busy Thinking About My Baby
Mardi Gras Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Listen to me people
I ain't got time to think about money
Or what it can buy
And I ain't got time to sit down and wonder
What makes a birdie fly
What makes a flower grow
And I've never given a second thought
To where the rivers flow
Too busy thinking about my baby
And I ain't got time for nothing else
Said, "I ain't got time to discuss the weather
How long it's gonna last
And I ain't got time to do no studies
Once I get out of class"
Tellin' ya I'm just a fellow
Said, "I got a one track mind
And when it comes to thinking about anything but my baby
I just don't have any time"
Too busy thinking about my baby
And I ain't got time for nothing else
Too busy thinking about my baby
And I ain't got time for nothing else
The diamonds and pearls in the world
Could never match her worth, no, no
She's some kind of wonderful, people tell ya
I've got heaven right here on earth
I'm just a fellow
With a one, one track mind
And when it comes to thinkin' about anything but my baby
I just don't have any time
Too busy thinking about my baby
And I ain't got time for nothing else
Too busy thinking about my baby
And I ain't got time for nothing else
Too busy thinking about my baby
Ain't got time for nothing else, no, no, no
Too busy thinking about my baby
Ain't got time for nothing else, no, no, no
Too busy thinking about my baby
In "Too Busy Thinking About My Baby," Mardi Gras sings about how he is so consumed with thoughts of his partner that he doesn't have time for anything else. He explains that he doesn't have time to think about money or material things because his thoughts are solely focused on his woman. He further emphasizes this idea by stating that he doesn't have time for trivial conversations, weather discussions, or even studying. Mardi Gras emphasizes the value of his partner and how she's the only thing that matters to him.
The lyrics express the passion and intensity that someone feels when they are in love. The love for their partner consumes their thoughts, making it hard for them to focus on anything else.
