Spector Ronnie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woa-oh, woa-oh oh oh
Have I ever told you
How good it feels to hold you
It isn't easy to explian
And though I'm really trying
I think I may start crying
My heart can't wait another day
When you kiss me I've just got to say

(Baby I love you)
Come on baby
(Baby I love you)
Oh-ee baby
Baby I love only you

Woa-oh, woa-oh oh oh
I can't live without you
I love everything about you
I can't help it if I feel this way
Oh I'm so glad I found you
I want my arms around you
I love to hear you call my name
Oh tell me that you feel the same

(Baby I love you)
Come on baby
(Baby I love you)
Oh-ee baby
Baby I love only you





Woa-oh, woa-oh oh oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ronnie Spector's song "Baby I love you" express the intense emotions of being head over heels in love with someone. The singer describes the joy and comfort she feels in holding her lover, and admits that it's difficult to put into words just how good it feels to be with them. The use of the repetition of "woa-oh" throughout the song conveys the giddy, exhilarating feeling of being in love.


The chorus of the song, where the singer repeatedly proclaims "Baby I love you," is the ultimate expression of her feelings. She can't help but cry because her heart is so full of love for this person, and she wants to be with them every day. The song portrays a love that is all-consuming and overpowering, where the lover cannot imagine life without their beloved. The repetition of the phrase "Baby I love you" emphasizes this all-encompassing love, as if the singer is trying to convince herself as much as her lover of the depth of her feelings.
