Get Back My Baby
Shaggy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sitting here staring at the four walls thinking what is it I got to do?
Get back my baby
Lonely is taking over now and my heart's kinda heavy so
I gotta get back my baby
I'm feeling kind of hopeless now, should have never messed around
You never know what you got 'til the moment that you lose it
I gotta get back my baby
My girl, why, tell me what I got to say now
'Cause I don't really wanna see you wave, bye
I can't bear all this pain in my heart
I swear I won't lie
As soon as you walk out the door tell me why I realize
I can't live without you

Sitting here staring at the four walls thinking what is it I got to do?
Get back my baby
Lonely is taking over now and my heart's kinda heavy so
I gotta get back my baby
I'm feeling kind of hopeless now, should have never messed around
You never know what you got 'til the moment that you lose it
I gotta get back my baby

As she cries telling me that we're through, I can't deny
Won't deny, on my bended knee
Best to give it a try
Stop, goodbye, she won't even look me in the eye
Baby, I lied but I love you
I'll do anything girl

Sitting here staring at the four walls thinking what is it I got to do?
Get back my baby
Lonely is taking over now and my heart's kinda heavy so
I gotta get back my baby
I'm feeling kind of hopeless now, should have never messed around
You never know what you got 'til the moment that you lose it
I gotta get back my baby

At night I wonder
Why did I commit such blunder?
Now the pain is taking me under
She deleted my number
Nightmare, I woke from my slumber
I'm thinking baby what should I say
Tell me where have you gone?
Baby when you coming home?
I need you by my side and my throne
As I grow weak, without you girl I'm incomplete
I'll do anything just to make it up

Sitting here staring at the four walls thinking what is it I got to do?
Get back my baby
Lonely is taking over now and my heart's kinda heavy so
I gotta get back my baby
I'm feeling kind of hopeless now, should have never messed around




You never know what you got 'til the moment that you lose it
I gotta get back my baby

@keithsmith7990

Great tune and what a fun song to listen to and watch as a video. They nailed this one perfectly. They looked like they had fun hanging out in the video as well. Nothing forced, no awkwardness, looked like they were friends forever. Add that to a fantastic beat, lyrics, and music and you get an amazing hit. Love it.
