BABY BABY
The Miracles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I did you wrong my heart went out to play
But in the game I lost you
What a price to pay, hey I'm crying
Ooo, baby baby
Ooo, baby baby
But I'm only human
You've made mistakes too, I'm crying
Ooo, baby baby
Ooo, baby baby
I'm just about at the end of my rope
But I can't stop trying, I can't give up hope
'Cause I feel that one day, I'll hold you near
Whisper, I still love you
Until that day is here, I'm crying
Ooo, baby baby
Ooo, baby baby
Ooo, baby baby
Ooo ooo ooo ooo, baby baby, ooo
The lyrics to "Ooo Baby Baby" by The Miracles tell the story of a man who took his partner for granted, played with her feelings and lost her. He is filled with regret, remorse and longing for his lost love. He admits to making mistakes and being only human, asking for forgiveness and a second chance. The repeated refrain of "Ooo, baby baby" conveys the depth of his feelings for his lost love and his desperation to win her back. He feels at the end of his rope but cannot give up hope that one day they will be reunited.
The lyrics are delivered with emotion and passion, with the lead singer's falsetto conveying the pain and regret in his voice. The repetition of "Ooo, baby baby" is a simple yet effective hook that conveys the essence of the song's message. The use of the simple phrase "I'm crying" adds to the emotional impact of the song, highlighting the man's vulnerability and his need for the love and forgiveness of the woman he has lost.
This song has been covered by many artists, including Smokey Robinson (from The Miracles), Linda Ronstadt, and Todd Rundgren. It has been featured in several movies and television shows, including Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco, and The Sopranos.

Ooo la la la
Sighing in regret for my mistakes
I did you wrong my heart went out to play
I betrayed you while I was pursuing my own desires
But in the game I lost you
I lost you as a result of my selfish actions
What a price to pay, hey I'm crying
The consequence is heavy and I regret it, crying in despair
Ooo, baby baby
This mistake affects our relationship
Mistakes, I know I've made a few
I acknowledge my actions and take responsibility for them
But I'm only human
Recognizing my imperfections and limitations
You've made mistakes too, I'm crying
Acknowledging your mistakes and crying in empathy with you
I'm just about at the end of my rope
I feel like I am running out of options to win you back
But I can't stop trying, I can't give up hope
I refuse to give up and will continue trying to make things right
'Cause I feel that one day, I'll hold you near
My hope is to reconcile and hold you close once again
Whisper, I still love you
I want to assure you that my love for you remains despite my mistakes
Until that day is here, I'm crying
Until we can be together again, I am crying and feeling remorseful
Ooo ooo ooo ooo, baby baby, ooo
Repeating the plea for forgiveness and reconciliation
