Mr. Worldwide, T-Pain
El que no vale consejo, no llega viejo

If your girl wanna play, let her go (ah-ha)
Said let her go, la-la-la-la
If your girl wanna play, let her go (ah-ha)
Said let her go, la-la-la-la (ah-ha)
If your girl wanna play, let her go (ah-ha)
Said let her go, la-la-la-la
If your girl wanna play, let her go

Hey, baby girl, what you doin' tonight?
I wanna see what you got in store (hey, hey baby)
You're giving it your all when you're dancin' on me
I wanna see if you can gimme some more (hey, hey baby)
You can be my girl, I can be your man
And we can pump this jam however you want (hey, hey baby)

Ooh, you got it, 'cause you make me wanna say hey baby (you know what I want)
Yeah, don't stop it
(I want you tonight)

I'm a Dade county, self paid, self-made millionaire
I used to play around the world
Now I'm around the world, getting paid
Girl problems, no problems
Don't hate the game that won't solve it
I want to get with you, mami
Now let me see where the Lord split you (dale)

Hey, baby girl, what you doin' tonight?
I wanna see what you got in store (hey, hey baby)
You're giving it your all when you're dancin' on me
I wanna see if you can gimme some more (hey, hey baby)

Make money, make money
This chico right here gotta eat, baby
Scared money don't make money
That's how it goes in the street, baby
But enough about the the nonsense
Baby girl, take a shot to clear your conscience
Not a goon or a goblin, I'm a monster
'Cause I hit all baddest woman in the world, gangsta

Ooh, baby, baby (la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pitbull's "Hey Baby" appear to be a mix of flirtatious pick-up lines, braggadocio, and invitations to dance. The "Hey baby girl what you doin' tonight, I wanna see what you got in store..." verse seeks to entice a woman into spending time with him, promising to follow her lead in their activity together. The chorus repeats the message to give a woman freedom to leave, dance, and generally pursue her own desires. The lyrics constantly refer to women in sexualized terms and attempt to solidify a heterosexual male ego by showcasing the singer's wealth and success with women.


Overall, the lyrics encourage a particular perspective of gender roles in romantic and sexual relationships, in which men are the ones making advances and dictating the terms of the encounter, with women receiving that attention and being objectified. While the lyrics are certainly catchy and have become a hit, they can easily be critiqued for limiting both genders and perpetuating a certain type of toxic masculinity.
