BABY BABY
Unwritten Law Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, alright

I met this girl out of this world
This girl's what dreams are made of
Don't push or shove now, oh yeah

She's like a rollercoaster
Hold your holster, she's not breaking down

And I'm goin' 'round and she said

If the world shattered
Nothing mattered, yeah
Oh baby, I'm coming home

Yeah, if the world shattered
Nothing mattered, yeah
Oh baby, baby, come on
Oh, yeah

I tripped and breakdown
There's no slipped, I head into my drink now
Open and swallow, oh yeah

I started drinking
Thinking that I'm not that far from breaking down
And I'm goin' down 'cause she said

If the world shattered
Nothing mattered, yeah
Oh baby, I'm coming home

Yeah, if the world shattered
Nothing mattered, yeah
Oh baby, baby, come on

Yeah
Oh baby, baby, come on
Alright

Yeah, oh baby, baby, come on
Yeah, yeah yeah
Alright, yeah, [Incomprehensible]

And if the world should shatter
Crack apart and split tomorrow
Open and swallow, oh yeah

Yeah, oh baby, baby, come on

Yeah, oh baby, baby, come on
Oh yeah, alright

Overall Meaning

The song "Baby Baby" by Unwritten Law is a powerful ode to a love interest that the songwriter sees as an escape from his own personal demons. The singer expresses that he's met a girl who's "out of this world" and "what dreams are made of". He also emphasizes that he doesn't want to "push or shove" and that she is like a "rollercoaster". The imagery here suggests emotional ups and downs, but he's holding onto his "holster" because he's confident that she won't break down. He then describes himself as on the edge of a breakdown, "thinking that I'm not that far from breaking down / And I'm goin' down." But the chorus brings the two ideas together, with the singer telling his love interest that, "if the world shattered / Nothing mattered, yeah / Oh baby, I'm coming home." Essentially, he's saying that he wants to build a life with her where nothing else matters, because he knows that he can count on her.

Overall, the song shows a deep vulnerability in the singer. He's expressing that he's struggling with his own challenges, but that the love of the person he's singing about is what's keeping him afloat. He views her as his escape from the turmoil he's experiencing, and the way he describes her as being "out of this world" and as willing to stand by him through anything suggests that he deeply values her presence in his life.
