Baby I Love You
The Yayhoos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well sometimes I just can't believe you're mine
But every now and then
I'm ready to say when
Oh, baby, I love you, just leave me the fuck alone
Well in your arms is where I long to stay
But something deep inside says not today
Working on this beer
Oh, baby, I love you, just leave me the fuck alone
I try so hard each day
To make things go our away
There's nothing left to say for tonight
For a couple of days I won't be coming round
I'm going to go get lost, I think I might skip town
Now I don't mean to pout
But you plain wore me out
Oh, baby, I love you, just leave me the fuck alone
Oh, baby, I love you, just leave me the fuck alone
I'm tired of dancing, I just want to go home
I know your cooking's great
But dinner will have to wait
Oh, baby, I love you, just leave me the fuck alone
Well I'm in a frazzled state
The party will have to wait
Oh, baby, I love you, just leave me the fuck alone
The Yayhoos's song Baby I Love You is a classic example of a love-hate relationship. The song begins with the lyrics "Well you know I said I'd love you for all time. Well sometimes I just can't believe you're mine." This suggests that the singer has genuine feelings for their partner, but at times struggles to come to terms with them. The next line "But every now and then I'm ready to say when" implies that the singer is always on the verge of giving up on the relationship. The chorus "Oh, baby I love you, just leave me the fuck alone" highlights the constant conflict between love and the need for space.
The second verse "Well in your arms is where I'll always stay, but something deep inside says not today" reveals the singer's inner conflict between the desire to be with their partner and the need for personal space. The line "Well I'll be sitting here, working on this beer" suggests that the singer uses alcohol as a coping mechanism to deal with the internal struggle. The line "I try so hard each day, to make things go away" further emphasizes the singer's struggle to keep the relationship going.
The final verse "For a couple of days I won't be coming round, I'm going to go get lost, I think I might skip town" suggests that the singer has had enough and needs to take a break from the relationship. The line "But you plain wore me out" suggests that the constant need for attention and affection has taken its toll. The chorus "Oh, baby I love you, just leave me the fuck alone" is repeated to emphasize the singer's need for space.
