Tamia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hopin' that you would call me
My eyes, my eyes are tired from us sittin' up and just talking, all night
My supervisor noticed im kind of slow for today
My girlfriends also noticed I'm joyful
What can I say
It only been two months but
I'm prayin' that your the one
Please baby be
Keep replaying your kisses
Can't get them out of my mind
I try
My work is piling up and
Who'd guess that I'd get behind
But that's fine
Its only 12:07
I take my first break at two
It seems I have a message
I hope to god that its you
It only been two months but
I'm prayin' that your the one
Please baby be the one
Please baby be
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no,
No, no, no, no
No- no
Its 2:15 I'm smiling
I hear your voice on the phone
Oh my,
Tell me you wanna see me
Can't wait until I get home, tonight
My mind says slow it down girl
This thing right here is so new
But my heart says keep it movin'
Two thoughts but I'm not confused
It only been two months but
I'm prayin' that your the one
Please baby be the one
Please baby be
In Tamia's song "Daydreaming," she sings about being infatuated with someone who she hopes is "the one" for her. She is sitting at work, daydreaming about this person and hoping that he will call her. Tamia's eyes are tired from staying up all night with this person, just talking. Her supervisor notices that she is moving slowly due to her lack of sleep, but her friends have also noticed that she is more joyful lately. Tamia is only two months into this relationship but is already praying that this man will be the one for her. She spends her workday replaying their kisses in her mind and anxiously waiting for a message from him. When he finally calls her, she can't contain her excitement and can't wait to see him later that night. Though her mind tells her to take things slow, her heart tells her to keep moving forward with this promising relationship.
The lyrics of "Daydreaming" capture the excitement and uncertainty that often come with new relationships. Tamia's lyrics reflect the feeling of being consumed by thoughts of a new love interest, even while trying to focus on other areas of life such as work. We get a sense of the eagerness and excitement she feels when she hears his voice on the phone and the internal conflict she experiences between taking things slow and following her heart.
