Take Off & Baby!
Ronald Christoph feat. Orlando Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You must be mistaken! It couldn't have been! You couldn't have seen him yesterday!
He's doing some deal up in Baltimore now... I hate it, when he's away!
You must be mistaken, I'm sure that you are! There's more than one car with stickers
on. And lots of young guys wear courdrary pants. And I'd know if he hadn't gone!

Take that look off yor face! (Take that look off yor face!) I can see through
your smile! (I can see through your smile!) You would love to be right, I bet, you
didn't sleep good last night, couldn't wait to bring all of these bad news to my
door. Well, I've got news for you: I knew before.

I'f I'm not mistaken, it started last year. I'm not very clear how it began
I noticed a change, but I just closed my eyes as only a woman can.

No, I didn't dig deep. (No, I didn't dig deep.) I did not want to know. (I did
not want to know.) Well, you don't interfere when you're scared of the things, you




might hear. When he's back, you think, I will end it right there and then? Well, my
fair weather friend- you're wrong again!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ronald Christoph feat Orlando's song Take Off Baby depict a woman being confronted by her friend who claims to have seen her partner with another woman. However, the woman denies the accusation and defends her partner's whereabouts by saying he is away on a business deal in Baltimore. She denies any wrongdoing on her partner's part and says that she would definitely know if he hadn't gone. She urges her friend to take the look off her face as she knows she wants to be right but also reveals that she already knew about her partner's infidelity.


Throughout the song, the woman reveals that she had noticed a change in her partner's behavior but chose to ignore it, closing her eyes as only a woman can. She admits to not wanting to dig deep and find out the truth as she was scared of what she might hear. The woman stands up for herself and defends her partner despite the accusations, sticking by his side until he returns.


The song's lyrics resonate with those who have been in a situation where they have to defend their partner's actions despite knowing deep down that they have been unfaithful. The denial of the truth and the reluctance to dig deep and find out the facts are common themes that many people can relate to.

Take that look off yor face! (Take that look off yor face!) I can see through your smile! (I can see through your smile!) You would love to be right, I bet, you didn't sleep good last night, couldn't wait to bring all of these bad news to my door. Well, I've got news for you: I knew before.
I see through your attempt to pretend to look surprised and your obvious desire to be right. You probably couldn't sleep last night due to your eagerness to bring me this bad news. However, I knew about my partner's infidelity way before you told me.


I'f I'm not mistaken, it started last year. I'm not very clear how it began. I noticed a change, but I just closed my eyes as only a woman can.
I think my partner started cheating on me last year, but I'm not sure how it all began. I noticed a difference, but I ignored it like many women tend to do.

I didn't investigate further because I didn't want to discover the truth. It's easy not to get involved when you're afraid of the things you might uncover. Do you think I'll confront him when he's back? Well, you're wrong again, my unreliable friend!
