Baby you
Phil Vassar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well maybe lately I've been acting a little bit strange
And maybe there's a few things
I need to explain
So what if I call you at work for now reason
And I sent you those flowers today
So what if my friends tell me
They never see me
And everyone's sayin' I've changed

If you think I always think about you
And I dream about you day and night
If you think for a moment I can't live without you
And maybe I've fallen in love with you
Baby, you're right
Baby, you're right

Somehow, somewhere I went and crossed
Over the line
And I let you see the man that was hiding inside
It's highly irregular, I must confess
No this usually isn't my style
Oh I know my heart's beatin' out of my chest
And I just can't do nothin' but smile

If you think I always think about you
And I dream about you day and night
If you think for a moment I can't live without you
And maybe I've fallen in love with you
Baby, you're right
Baby, you're right

Baby, you're so wrong if you think
That you're holdin' on just a little too tight
But, if you're believin' that I'm never leavin' you
Baby, you're right

If you think I always think about you
And I dream about you day and night
If you think for a moment I can't live without you
And maybe I've fallen in love with you
If you think that I'm hopeless without you
There's no way I can put up a fight
If you think for a moment I can't live without you
And maybe I've fallen in love with you

Baby, you're right
Baby, you're right
