Half On A Baby
R. Kelly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn the lights down low, I'm ready the break it off
Since computer love, been wanting to set it off
Like a hotel room I'm checking in to you
Digging like shovel, all the things you do
Take a leap over the broom, it's how you making me feel
Come on in dis room, and let's keep it real, you know

Half on a baby
All I need is your body next to me (saying ooh)
Ooh na na na na na (yo, yo body) Yo body na na na [Repeat: x2]

Now tell me what the deal is, are u ready to bump
It's gonna take a life time, to give u all of dis love
So baby open up, and get ready to receive
A miracle of love, getting down with me
Like a baseball field, wanna hit a home run
Me and u get together babe, and raise a lil' one

Half on a baby
All I need is your body next to me (saying ooh)
Ooh na na na na na (yo, yo body) Yo body na na na [Repeat: x2]

Set it off in a six, baby dat'll be cool
Take a trip down town between me and you
Sipping Don Perigdon
Conversation like, what?
Not afraid to go there, why don't u open up
After 9 to 5, you deserve some 12
Making future plans, to be where I dwell

Half on a baby
All I need is your body next to me (saying ooh)
Ooh na na na na na (yo, yo body) Yo body na na na [Repeat: x2]

Half on a baby
All I need is your body next to me (saying ooh)
Ooh na na na na na (yo, yo body) Yo body na na na [Repeat: x2]

From my toes up (From my toes up)
To my knee cap (to my knee caps, to waistline)
And slowly (and slowly, lady)
Can we go half on my baby [Repeat: x2]

Half on a baby




All I need is your body next to me (saying ooh)
Ooh na na na na na (yo, yo body) Yo body na na na [Repeat: x2]

Overall Meaning

In R. Kelly's song "Half On A Baby," he sets a romantic atmosphere by asking to dim the lights. He expresses his intentions to start a physical relationship since he heard "Computer Love." Kelly then tells his partner that he wants to share a lifetime of love with her and is ready to commit by using marriage imagery, "take a leap over the broom." He then suggests that they should raise a child together. The chorus is a plea to his lover to be intimate with him, accompanied by a sensuous "ooh na na na na na" sound. R Kelly also suggests to his lover that they should go out, spend some quality time together over champagne, and get to know each other better instead of just embracing each other's bodies.


The lyrics of the song may indicate a yearning for a deep connection and relationship beyond physical intimacy, which is supported by his introduction of the idea of having a child together. There may also be a hint that the relationship may not be at the same level of commitment as he would like, given his plea to "go half" on their future baby, which indicates he is not entirely sure if his partner is ready to commit.

[Verse 1]
Turn the lights down low
I'm ready to break it off
Since computer love
Been wanting to set it off
Like a hotel room
I'm checkin' into you
I'm diggin' like a shovel
All the things you do
Take a leap over the broom
That's how you're makin' me feel
Come on in this room
And let's keep it real and go

Despite of what R.Kelly has done that still doesn't take away his talent as an artist, writer or producer. I'll forever listen to his music. THIS IS MY OPINION, NOBODY HAS TO AGREE WITH IT!!

@trueeemontero21

Hell Nah bruh

@janelle009

Or despite what those girls parents did. Sick freaks selling their girls for cash then having a problem when that cash money runs out. How many were underage? Dude was railroaded and now everyone is cashing in. Sad so many can't see it and are gleeful over a man losing it all.

@janelle009

@@trueeemontero21 Have you ever read more than what the news tells you? These fathers are more to blame than he is. They never had an issue til he quit giving them anything. If he's to blame and needs life in prison then they need 1 to the head as the parents.

@janelle009

No way I'd sell of my kid at a concert and take money and then cause an issue when dude went broke. They saw dollar signs. No wonder many dont even speak to their parents to this day. They sold them out for profit in all ways possible. Doesn't make him innocent but makes them equally guilty if not more.
