Ooh Baby Baby
Spirit Traveler Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sun a-shining, there's plenty of life. . .
a new day is dawning sunny and bright.
But after I've been crying all night the sun is cold
and the new day seems old.
Since I lost my baby, since I lost my baby.

Birds are singing and the children are playing,
there's plenty of work and the bosses are paying.
Not a sad word should my young heart be saying,
but fun is a bore and with money I'm poor.
Since I lost my baby, since I lost my baby.

Next time I'll be kinder, won't you please help me find her?
Someone just remind her 'bout this love she left behind her.
'Til I find her I'll be tryin' now, ev'ry day I'm more inclined to find her,
inclined to find her, inclined to find my baby.
Been a-looking ev'rywhere, baby, I really, really care.

Oh, determination is fading fast. . . Inspiration is a thing of the past. . .
Can't see my hope's gonna last. . .
good things are bad and what's happy is sad.
Since I lost my baby, since I lost my baby.




I feel so bad, oo, I'll feel so sad, everything is a-wrong,
I feel so bad, oo, I'll feel so sad, everything is a-wrong,

Overall Meaning

Spirit Traveler's song "Ooh Baby Baby" speaks about the pain and heartbreak that follows the loss of a loved one. The opening lines of the song set a hopeful tone, indicating the beginning of a new day with the sun shining bright. However, the singer's grief takes over quickly and the sun hereafter feels cold and the new day loses its charm. The loss of a partner takes a toll on every aspect of life as even fun activities become uninteresting and financial prosperity loses its charm. The singer feels poor and desolate since he lost his beloved. The lyrics "since I lost my baby" get repeated twice in every verse, cementing the devastating impact of the loss.
