I Love You Baby
Muse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh I am growing tired
Of allowing you to steal
Everything I have
You're making me feel
Like I was born to service you
But I am growing by the hour

You left us far behind
So we all discard our souls
And blaze through your skies
So afraid to die

'Cause I was born to destroy you
I am growing by the hour
I'm getting strong in every way

You led me on
You led me on
You





Oh, I'm getting strong in every way

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Muse's song "Hate This and I'll Love You" showcase the pain and degradation someone feels when they are continuously being taken advantage of. The first few lines "Oh I am growing tired, of allowing you to steal, everything I have" highlight the fatigue and frustration that the singer is experiencing. They feel that everything they own, including their time and energy, is being taken away by this person. The line "You're making me feel like I was born to service you" adds to this sentiment, emphasizing how trapped and powerless the singer feels in this situation.


Towards the end of the first verse, the singer begins to realize that they don't have to continue feeling this way. They state "But I am growing by the hour, you left us far behind". The phrase "growing by the hour" is important because it shows how the singer is slowly but surely gaining the strength to stand up for themselves. The line "you left us far behind" could be interpreted in a few different ways. It could suggest that the person who is causing the singer so much pain has moved on and left them behind, or it could indicate that they have left behind their old way of living and are gaining strength from that.


The chorus further emphasizes the newfound strength that the singer is experiencing. They state "I was born to destroy you, I am growing by the hour, I'm getting strong in every way". These lines suggest that the singer is no longer willing to be a victim and is instead turning the tables on the person who has caused them so much pain. The final line "I'm getting strong in every way" shows how the singer is not only physically growing stronger but also mentally and emotionally.


Line by Line Meaning

Oh I am growing tired
I am becoming exhausted


Of allowing you to steal
Permitting you to take possession of my possessions


Everything I have
All of what I own


You're making me feel
You're causing me to think


Like I was born to service you
As if my existence was to cater to you


But I am growing by the hour
Though, I am constantly improving


You left us far behind
You abandoned us quite long ago


So we all discard our souls
Therefore, we all forsaken our own souls


And blaze through your skies
And rush through the skies you rule


So afraid to die
So scared of death itself


'Cause I was born to destroy you
Because I was brought forth to ruin you


I am growing by the hour
I am progressively developing


I'm getting strong in every way
I'm becoming better in each and every manner


You led me on
You guided me to a path


You led me on
You guided me to a path


You
You

You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
You feel like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last
Love has arrived
I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you makes me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you

I love you baby
If it's quite all right
I need you baby
To warm the lonely nights
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say it
Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down
I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I've found you
Stay and let me love you
Baby
Let me love you
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
You feel like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last
Love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you

I love you baby
If it's quite all right
I need you baby
To warm the lonely nights
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say it
Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down
I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I've found you
Stay and let me love you
Baby
Let me love you

Me and my wife had this as our final wedding dance...nobody knew we were doing it and when it came on people were looking around asking 'who is this and why are they having this!?' until they all recognised it was Muse, our favourite band, and the whole place erupted singing along to the chorus. Very happy memories!

I love this cover so much. It's a darker but pleasant twist on what is supposed to be an adorable song and message. I absolutely love the vibe of this cover.

Zoe Gartham

I love Muse, they are such a good band, with an eclectic style all their own, one that has evolved greatly over the years, and I have a ton of respect for them. Yes, this is a good cover. I especially like the little guitar riffs between the verses and the chorus - they are done really well. However, Frankie Valli he is not. I truly mean that with no disrespect. Frankie may have been before my time, but I grew up listening to oldies. The Four Seasons was one of my all time favorite groups, and this is still, to this day, one of my top 3 songs of all time. I have so many memories tied to this song, the original, that as amazing as this cover is, it will never be better (for me) than the original.

@Zoe Gartham Well said! A great cover is a great cover, but nothing beats the original :)

This song, in my opinion, is the ultimate song to sing to your lover in a public place to embarass them/show your undying love for them. xD
