BE MY BABY
Safeway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forever every night
I need a miracle
For I can carry on
I wanna feel tonight
More of than normal life
You baby came to me
Since I saw your face
About to set my head
Forget about your sparkling dance
A special way, no
I know that what I'm feeling
Takes me back to you
Believe in me
And trust in what I say it's true
OOh
I'm not a criminal
I am a man in love
I'm not a criminal
You wanna be, be my baby
Yeeh, yeeh, be my baby (x2)
I've been dreaming about you, baby baby
I've been dreaming about you
You know what I'm feeling
Yeh yeh
I'm not a criminal
I am a man in love
I'm not a criminal
You wanna be, be my baby
I'm not a criminal
I am a man in love
I'm not a criminal
You wanna be, be my baby
Yeeh yeeh
Be my baby
The lyrics of Safeway's song "Be My Baby" suggests a man's yearning for a woman who he believes is his destiny. He describes his feelings for her as a dream that he would like to have every night, indicating that he wants their love to last forever. He admits that he needs a miracle to keep him going, suggesting that without her, he would be lost or unfulfilled. He wants to feel more than his everyday life has to offer, and just her presence alone brings him this feeling. The man is convinced that he has been waiting for her for a long time, and his life has been incomplete until now.
The phrase, "Since I saw your face, about to set my head" suggests that she has a striking appearance that has captivated him. The line, "Forget about your sparkling dance, a special way, no" could mean that he sees beyond her captivating beauty and is interested in her for who she is. The man is confident that what he feels is real and that it will bring them together. The phrase "Believe in me, and trust in what I say it's true" is meant to persuade her that he is sincere about his feelings and that she should trust him.
The song's chorus, "I'm not a criminal, I am a man in love" is repeated several times throughout the song, demonstrating the man's commitment to her and his honesty about his intentions. He wants her to be his partner, and the repetition of "you wanna be, be my baby" enforces this idea. In summary, the song expresses the singer's longing for a woman that he believes is his destiny, who will fulfill him and bring meaning to his life.
