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 baby baby ooo
The Miracles’ “Ooh Baby Baby” is a melancholic love song about the heartache and pain that comes with making mistakes in a romantic relationship. The opening line “Ooo la la la la” is a nostalgic and reflective verse that sets the tone of the song. The singer admits to wronging his partner and explains that his heart led him to play around, but he lost her in the game. Losing her has left him with an unbearable sadness that causes him to cry.
The chorus, “Ooo baby baby” is a repeated lament indicating the depth of the singer’s sorrow, as he accepts responsibility and reveals that he’s only human and that he’s made mistakes in the relationship too. He also hopes his partner can forgive him, as they’ve made mistakes at some point during their time together.
As the song continues, the singer reveals how close to the edge of his own sanity he has come. But despite everything, he’s still chasing after her and keeping hope up. He believes that one day they will be reconciled and be able to express their love to each other again. Until that day comes, he will be crying.
“Ooh Baby Baby” is a song meant to be sorrowful and apologetic, with lyrics that speak to anyone who has made mistakes in a relationship. However, it also speaks to the idea that love and hope can overcome anything given enough time.
