Baby I Love You
Milk & Sugar feat. Miriam Makeba & Jungle Brothers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up from something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed screaming out the words I dread
I think I love you (I think I love you)

This morning I woke up with this feeling
I didn't know how to deal with and so I just decided to myself
I'd hide it to myself and never talk about it
And did not go and shout it when you walked into the room
I think I love you (I think I love you)

I think I love you so what am I so afraid of
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for

I think I love you isn't that what life is made of
Though it worries me to say that I never felt this way

I don't know what I'm up against
I don't know what it's all about
I got so much to think about

Hey, I think I love you so what am I so afraid of
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for

I think I love you isn't that what life is made of
Though it worries me to say I never felt this way

Believe me you really don't have to worry
I only wanna make you happy and if you say "hey go away" I will
But I think better still I'd better stay around and love you
Do you think I have a case let me ask you to your face
Do you think you love me?

I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you




I think I love you
I think I love you

Overall Meaning

The Milk & Sugar song "You and I" describes a person who has suddenly become aware of their feelings towards someone and is struggling to understand and cope with them. The first verse illustrates the sudden awakening of these feelings, which interrupt a perfectly good dream. Upon realizing these emotions, the person is so overwhelmed that they scream out loud. The second verse tells us that the individual is aware of the fact that they are in love, but they don't know what to do about it. They consider keeping it to themselves but are too scared to share it with the person they love. The bridge of the song expresses the person's anxiety about their newfound love; they are afraid that the love they feel is not reciprocated or that it's unrequited.


The lyrics also represent the common struggle of someone falling in love for the first time. The singer is torn between their emotions and logic, and they don't know what their crush might think of them. There is an inner battle between their head and heart, as they try to understand what they are feeling. The song conveys feelings of vulnerability and insecurity, typical of an individual falling in love. The song ends on a hopeful note when the person decides to confront their crush about their feelings, asking if there is love between them.

I believe that I am in love with you
