Ooh Baby Baby
Shalamar Lyrics

Ooh la, la, la, la.
Expressing a feeling of passion and excitement.

I did you wrong, my heart went out to play
Admitting to making a mistake by letting emotions control actions.

And in the game I lost you, what a price to pay!
Regretting the consequences of actions and acknowledging the loss of a valued relationship.

I'm cryin', ooh baby baby ooh baby baby
Expressing sadness and longing for the lost relationship.

Mistakes I know I've made a few,
Acknowledging that no one is perfect and has made errors in judgment.

But I'm only human; you've made mistakes too!
Apologizing while recognizing that the other person is also at fault in the relationship.

Ooh baby baby
Expressing a deep emotional connection with the person being spoken to.

Ooh baby baby I'm just about at the end of my rope.
Feeling hopeless and desperate due to the loss of the relationship.

But I can't stop tryin', I can't give up hope
Refusing to give up on the possibility of reconciliation and expressing determination to fix the broken relationship.

'cause I feel someday I'll hold you near,
Having faith in the future and imagining a better outcome for the relationship.

Whisper I still love you
Expressing ongoing love and affection for the other person.

Until that day is here ooh I'm cryin'.
Acknowledging the present sadness and pain caused by the loss of the relationship.

Ooh baby baby ooh baby baby
Repeating the emotional connection and longing for the other person.
