Since I met you baby
My whole life has changed
Since I met you baby
My whole life has changed
Oh and all my friends tell me
That I'm not the same

Let me tell you, since I met you baby
Oh I'm a happy man, a happy man
Since I met you baby
Oh, looks like I'm a happy man
And I'm gonna try and please you
In every, in every, in every way that I can

Let me tell you, I don't need nobody
To tell my troubles to, to tell my troubles to, no no
I don't need nobody
To tell my, to tell my, to tell my, to tell my troubles to
Oh, 'cause since I met you baby
All I need, all I need, all I need is you

Oh, pretty baby
Mmm-hmm
You know I love you baby
I love you better than I do myself
Oh yeah
You know I love you honey
You know I love you better than I do myself now
Mmm-hmm
And oh, when I'm with you I don't need nobody else now

Love me in the mornin'
You gotta love me late at night, late at night, I want you to love me late at night
Love me in the mornin'
Oh, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me late at night




And oh when you love me baby
I know everything, everything is alright

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sam Cooke's song "Baby Baby Baby" are a declaration of love and gratitude. The first two verses describe how the singer's life has changed for the better since meeting his love interest. He sings about his newfound happiness and how his friends have noticed a change in him. He then makes a promise to try and please his love interest in every way he can. He doesn't need anyone else to tell his troubles to because his love interest is all he needs. The last verse is a request for his love interest to love him in the morning and at night, and a reassurance that everything is alright when they're together.


The song is a classic example of Cooke's smooth soulful style, with his trademark crooning vocals and a bluesy guitar riff. Cooke's emotive delivery makes the lyrics feel sincere and heartfelt, and the simple instrumentation allows the focus to remain on the vocals and lyrics. The song's structure is traditional for its time, with a verse-chorus-verse structure and a repeating guitar riff.

The lyric is not “Nothing loss of days...”
It is “Nothing’s lost, all is gain...”
You will notice this actually supports the rhyme.
