Would you be my baby doll
If you promise to be my bad boy
A lover you and me be my bad boy
Could you be my bad boy, i will be ur bad boy - (3)

Hamko naa mar dale yeh adaaye kisikee
Jo bura hai woh dil ko lagta bhala hai - (2)
Am gonna give it toh you once and for all
You can play with me i am ur babydoll
You will be my babydoll, i will be ur babydoll - (3)
Ham jahan mil rahe ho aisee koyee jagah ho
Log ho khub sare sabki hampe nigah ho

Jo bura hai woh dil ko lagta bhala hai - (2)
Ishk iss overtake i am keeping you suck
Out of control i would be freaking you n kicking it up
Would you kiss a shark???
We can do it all public do it all alone
Could be a secret do it on a cell phone
From the car toh the elevator down toh the couch
From the floor toh the bed we could be freaking it up

Aha keep ur wicked and rough like
Wait till u get enough light, aha aha) - (2)

The lyrics of Pritam's song Allah Bachaaye are about a couple who is deeply in love and ready to face any challenge together. The song starts with the male singer asking the female singer to be his baby doll and bad boy, promising to be her bad boy as well. The lovers are then compared to a spicy and sweet mix, which makes them irresistible to others. The chorus then states that the love they have for each other is a dangerous addiction, but at the same time, it feels good.
The second verse maintains the same theme, with the male singer saying that he will give himself to the female singer once and for all. He refers to her as his baby doll and reciprocates by calling himself her baby doll. They express that wherever they are together, they attract attention and people look at them. They are not afraid of doing something that no one else has done before.
The bridge of the song describes their passion for each other in more detail, using metaphors such as getting addicted to each other's love and becoming immersed in each other's dreams. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing that love is a mixture of good and bad and that they are willing to take the risk.
