Try It Baby
Tyrone Davis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're leaving me behind
Everybody seems to love you
Oh, you're doing just fine, fine, fine
But take away your good looks
And all your fancy clothes
Why don't you just
Try it baby
Try it baby
Try it baby
You'll see
Nobody loves you but me
Now you tell me that you're so busy, pretty baby
You ain't got much time
Oh, how will I remember
When all your time was mine, mine, mine
Well move on back cross the track, baby
Where you came from
Why don't you just
Try it baby
Try it baby
Try it baby
Try it baby
You'll see
That nobody loves you but me
Nobody loves you but me
I really want to hold you, pretty baby
In my arms again
But I can't get close to you
For all your loving friend, friend, friend
But take your name from the bright lights baby
And tell me that you are all through
Come on and
Try it honey
Try it baby
Try it sweetheart
Try it honey
You'll see, nobody loves you but me
The lyrics of Tyrone Davis's “Try It Baby” is a story of a man singing to his former lover who had left him behind and is moving on up in the world, surrounded by people who seem to love her. He acknowledges her good looks and fancy clothes but reminds her that no one loves her but him. The song is filled with mixed emotions of longing, sadness, and jealousy.
The man asks his former lover to try to remove her good looks and fancy clothes and see what remains; evidently, she will find that nobody loves her but him. He tells her to move back where she came from and to try it for herself. In the second verse, the man asks his former lover to recall the days when all her time was his. He begs her to come back to him, but he faces a setback because of all the friends who surround her.
The song's chorus is repeated several times, emphasizing the point that everyone around her seems to adore her, but if she takes a step back and tries, she will notice that no one else loves her like he does. The lyrics are relatable and tug at the heartstrings of someone who has experienced a painful breakup, unrequited love or unfaithfulness.

Tyrone Davis is the perfect man of my dreams, my secret admirer and a very good friend of mine and I love this song In The Mood and it's one of the sexiest quiet storm bedroom ballads of all time. That song makes me want to get a little sexy tonight and I like to slow dance to the slinky and seductive melody by the romantic candle lights that ignites the sensual seduction in the nighttime. And best of all, I like to feel the sultry heat of the fire burning very hot with Tyrone Davis and my body has been yearning for love and smooth passion at the stroke of twelve at midnight. RIP Tyrone Davis. Keep on singing up there in soul heaven with the late Luther Vandross, Freddie King, Jackie Wilson, Major Harris and of course, the late
R&B/soul star Teddy Pendergrass.
