Baby I Love You
Yayhoos The 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'll always 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 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 tried 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' song "Baby I Love You" is a humorous take on the ups and downs of relationships. The song's chorus repeats the title phrase, "Oh, baby, I love you, just leave me the f*ck alone," which, at first glance, seems to be a contradiction. However, the song is a commentary on the push and pull of relationships, where one partner can simultaneously love their significant other but also feel burnt out and overwhelmed at times.
The opening lines set the tone for the song, with the singer proclaiming their love for their partner "for all time." However, they quickly express their disbelief that this person is really theirs. The verse reveals a moment of clarity where the singer is ready to say "when" and take a break from the dynamic. The second verse continues the theme of conflicting emotions, with the singer wanting to stay in their partner's arms but feeling like they need some space. The bridge finds the singer feeling overwhelmed and just wanting to be left alone for a few days.
Overall, the song is a humorous take on the struggles of relationships, where one partner can simultaneously love their significant other but also need time and space to themselves. The catchy chorus and upbeat melody create a juxtaposition with the song's content, making it a light-hearted yet relatable tune.
