Like A Baby
WHAM! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Foreign skies
Blinded me to empty charms.
I crossed the ocean,
Fell into your arms

So sure, so wrong..
You sang me a simple tune,
I took if for a song.

Say goodbye
Don't tell me why you have to go
Loving you was as good as gone
As good as gone.

I'd love to know you
Really know you
But you see, there's something you should know,
I never really thought you'd go

Because today,
I would have sworn I heard you say
"I love you"
"I want you"
"I need to be with you today"
I saw something in your face

Stay here beside me,
I need your love to guide me
Your love,
But now it's gone away,




You left me crying like a baby,
Like a baby

Overall Meaning

The song "Like a baby" by WHAM! talks about a person who is blinded by the charms of a foreign land and finds love in the arms of someone but eventually gets hurt. The person is so sure of the love they have found, but in the end, things do not work out, and they are left heartbroken. The person remembers the simple tune their lover sang to them and thought it was a love song, but in reality, it was not.


The person pleads with their lover not to leave, but they are unable to understand why they have to go. The love they shared was so good, but it was also as good as gone. The person wants to really know their lover, but there is something they should know – that they never really thought their lover would leave them. They thought they heard their lover say, "I love you" and "I want you" and "I need to be with you today." But now, their love is gone, and they are left crying like a baby.


Line by Line Meaning

Foreign skies
Being in a new place made me blind to things that don't matter.


Blinded me to empty charms.
The new place I was in caused me to overlook the things that weren't truly important.


I crossed the ocean,
I took a huge journey to get here.


Fell into your arms.
And then finally ended up in your loving embrace.


So sure, so wrong..
I thought I had it all figured out, but I was actually completely mistaken.


You sang me a simple tune,
You said something to me that seemed easy to understand.


I took if for a song.
But I mistook your words as much deeper than they actually were.


Say goodbye
Now it's time to part ways.


Don't tell me why you have to go
But don't bother giving me any kind of explanation.


Loving you was as good as gone
The love we had was already fading away.


As good as gone.
It was inevitable that our love wouldn't last.


I'd love to know you
I'd love to really understand who you are.


Really know you
To get to the core of your being.


But you see, there's something you should know,
However, let me share something with you.


I never really thought you'd go
I never thought the day would come when we would have to say goodbye.


Because today,
Just earlier today,


I would have sworn I heard you say
I was convinced that I heard you express a specific sentiment.


"I love you"
You told me you loved me,


"I want you"
That you wanted to be with me,


"I need to be with you today"
And that it was imperative that we spend time together today.


I saw something in your face
I observed something in your expression


Stay here beside me,
Stay here with me,


I need your love to guide me
I require your support to navigate through life.


Your love,
Your love,


But now it's gone away,
But alas, it has departed.


You left me crying like a baby,
You caused me to sob uncontrollably, like an infant,


Like a baby
Like a baby.

Foreign skies
They've blinded me to empty charms
I crossed the ocean
And fell into your arms
So sure, so wrong
You sang me a simple tune
I took if for a song
Say goodbye, don't tell me why you have to go
Loving you was as good as gold
As good as gold
I'd love to love you, really love you
But you see, there's something you should know
I really didn't think thought you'd go
Because today
I could have sworn I heard you say
"I love you, I want you"
"I need to be with you today"
I saw something in your face
Stay here beside me
I need your love to hide me
You lied
And now you've gone away
And left me crying like a baby
Like a baby

........Loads of love for all who remember George Michael ✨🎶✨

My favorite song from Wham. I'm 18 and Goerge Michael is one of my favorite singers. I could listen to this on repeat especially while driving at night. God rest his soul.

@marbulostv8053

One of the greatest Artists of all Time. This Song is very relaxing.

@marcosmartinez8088

I figuring it out his music from his begining. I first listened to the Faith album and i loved it. You could listened to Prince, him and George Michael have like a similar style of music but both are really music geniuses in their own way.

@bestris1752

Man, if we could only go back! I was 13 when this came out, this tune and all of Wham's tracks were the soundtrack of my youth! What a better time. I feel blessed to have grown up in such a magical time. 80s were heaven.

@groofoot

I was 13, too ... and Amen to everything you typed! <3

@monicaraines6310
