Oh Baby
Rhianna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh Baby Oh still a long way to go
And hold on if you're loosin your way
Oh Baby Oh still along way to go
Hold on tighter if your goin my way oh

Someone take this gloom and walk right on
Take it some place that I dont go
Try to push myself it just holds me back
The stronger I go
I'm learning fast to fly away
And I took the blues on and won
Turn around I'll be smiling all the way to the sun hey yey

Oh Baby Oh still a long way to go
And hold on if your loosin your way
Oh Baby Oh still along way to go
Hold on tighter if your goin my way oh

Steady as you go hold your hand in mine
Don't stop if your movin on
Put your mind into a happy photograph
Ain't no worry at all
I'm gettin stronger everyday
It feels so good just to smile
Feels just like I can take a thousand miles in my stride hey yey

Oh Baby Oh still a long way to go
And hold on if your loosin your way
Oh Baby Oh still along way to go
Hold on tighter if your goin my way oh

Oh Baby Oh still a long way to go
And hold on if your loosin your way




Oh Baby Oh still along way to go
Hold on tighter if your goin my way oh
