like a baby
Wham! / George Michael Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
The song starts off with the lines "Foreign skies blinded me to empty charms, I crossed the ocean, fell into your arms." The singer is reminiscing about a time when he was in a foreign place, and he met someone special. The singer was so taken by this person that he was blinded to anything else that might have been negative about them. He was so in love that he fell into their arms.
The next couple of lines, "So sure, so wrong. You sang me a simple tune, I took it for a song," show that the singer was so sure that this person was his forever love, but he was wrong. The person sang him a simple song, but he thought it was much more than that. He took it as a sign of their love for each other.
As the song progresses, the singer pleads with the person not to go, saying "Say goodbye, don't tell me why you have to go. Loving you was as good as gone, as good as gone." He is desperate for them to stay, but he knows that they have to leave. He loved them so much, but now it seems like that love was for nothing.
The song ends with the lines "You left me crying like a baby, like a baby." The singer is heartbroken, and he feels like he has lost everything. He thought that they had something special, but it was all just a mirage.
Line by Line Meaning
Foreign skies
Being in a new place made me forget about the things that matter
Blinded me to empty charms.
I got distracted by things that looked pretty but turned out to be meaningless
I crossed the ocean,
I took a big risk and went on a journey
Fell into your arms
I found comfort and safety in being close to you
So sure, so wrong..
I thought I knew what I wanted, but I was mistaken
You sang me a simple tune,
You told me things that were easy to believe
I took if for a song.
But I mistook them for something more significant than they were
Say goodbye
You're leaving
Don't tell me why you have to go
I don't understand why you have to leave me
Loving you was as good as gone
Our relationship was doomed from the beginning
As good as gone.
It never really had a chance
I'd love to know you
I wish I understood you better
Really know you
I want to have a deep understanding of who you are
But you see, there's something you should know,
There's something I need to tell you
I never really thought you'd go
I didn't believe our relationship was that fragile
Because today,
Something happened earlier that made me think...
I would have sworn I heard you say
I thought I heard you say
"I love you"
Those three words that mean so much
"I want you"
I thought you wanted me as much as I wanted you
"I need to be with you today"
You seemed like you had to be with me right then
I saw something in your face
I noticed an expression on your face
Stay here beside me,
Please don't leave
I need your love to guide me
I need your support and affection to help me through tough times
Your love,
What I thought was love
But now it's gone away,
But now it has vanished
You left me crying like a baby,
You made me feel helpless and vulnerable
Like a baby
Just like a newborn who can't protect themselves

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.

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.
