Baby Tonight
SINGER SONGER Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh baby, tonight
Thank you for listening to my silly story
Oh baby, tonight
Starving children on the TV show
Wherever we go
Think, love things
Think, love things
I'm so sorry to all over the world
I'm only thinking about my love
Thank you for listening to my story
Oh baby, tonight
Thank you for listening to my silly story
Oh baby, tonight
We are living under the same sky
but saying nothing
I'm as helpless as a new born baby
Think, love things
Think, love things
I'm so sorry to all over the world
I'm only thinking about my baby
The lyrics to "Baby Tonight" by SINGER SONGER are deeply moving and touch on themes of empathy, love, and global issues. The song opens with a note of gratitude to the listener, thanking them for taking the time to hear the singer's story. As the song progresses, we hear about the struggles of the world, including images of starving children on the TV and endless wars. Though these issues are heart-wrenching, the singer nonetheless feels helpless and focused only on their own love, rather than being able to make a broader impact on the world.
This theme of love continues to be a central focus of the song, as the singer acknowledges that they and the listener may be under the same sky, but they are not communicating or taking action. Despite this, the singer is once again apologetic for only having thoughts about their own love rather than being able to alleviate the struggles of others.

I wish more people in the crowd appreciated this. Such a random callback. And the fact that Road Dogg knows the lyrics and Jarrett’s stumbling along is a wonderful touch.
@dionius4549
Because road dogg was the one who sang, and JJ just lipsynced it back in the day
@rosendoortega9045
Dion Ius road dogg actualy wrote it.
@daveburchill3779
@Rosendo Ortega no he didn’t. Jim Johnston wrote it for his wife long before that.
@brettfowler8394
Brian was the original voice smh
@rolltide9547
@Dave Burchill Actually Kid Rock wrote this song for Vince McMahon he was going to do a Hank Williams jr gimmick.

Kudos to WWE for forgetting the past and allowing Jeff Jarrett to return home to receive the honor. Jeff earned his moment in the sun after decades of paying his dues in the business.
@TheGreatLKHS
I love this song. I was incredibly surprised how good it was, when I first heard it years ago.
@SGGaming1
He did thank Kurt.That brought a smile to my face.They had one of the best feuds in TNA
@gammasmash1924
Road Dogg should manage a stable. He's always been great on the mic.
