Baby
Natural Child Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, I know you look good
Everybody thinks that I should
I don't need a woman I could

Baby, I see looking my way
You look cute
Honey what can I say
It's gonna take all of my man to take me away

Baby, I know I think you're pretty fine
But I got a girl at home
And she's all mine
So I ain't trying to wast anymore of your time

I said baby, I said baby
I'm so frustrated
Honey I can't take it
I don't know what I'm gonna do with you

I said baby, I said baby
I'm so frustrated




Honey I can't take it
I don't know what I'm gonna do with you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Natural Child's song "Baby" express the internal conflict of a man who is attracted to a woman but is already in a committed relationship. He acknowledges the woman's physical appearance and the attention she is receiving from others, but ultimately decides to remain faithful to his partner. Despite his decision, he can't help feeling frustrated and conflicted, as evident in the repetition of the chorus "I'm so frustrated, honey I can't take it, I don't know what I'm gonna do with you."


The repetition of the word "baby" throughout the song adds to the sense of attraction and temptation that the singer is feeling, and the line "it's gonna take all of my man to take me away" suggests that he is struggling with his desires. The final verse, where he tells the woman that he is not trying to waste any more of her time, shows that he is aware of the harm that his actions could cause and is trying to do the right thing.


Overall, the lyrics to "Baby" capture the complexity of human relationships and the struggle to do the right thing when faced with temptation.
