Ooh Baby Baby
Zapp and Roger Lyrics

Ooh la, la, la, la.
Expressing admiration, excitement, or joy in a fun and playful way.

I did you wrong, my heart went out to play
Acknowledging a mistake in pursuing someone else and causing harm to the relationship with the person.

And in the game I lost you, what a price to pay!
Reflecting on the negative consequences of the mistake and the cost of losing the person's love.

I'm cryin', ooh baby baby ooh baby baby
Expressing intense emotions of sadness and regret for the situation through the repetition of the phrase.

Mistakes I know I've made a few,
Recognizing that errors have been made in the past.

But I'm only human; you've made mistakes too!
Offering a justification and reminding the person that they are also capable of mistakes.

Ooh baby baby
Expressing a yearning and desire for the person.

Ooh baby baby I'm just about at the end of my rope.
Conveying the feeling of being overwhelmed and close to giving up.

But I can't stop tryin', I can't give up hope
Determined to keep trying and not lose faith in the possibility of rekindling the relationship.

'cause I feel someday I'll hold you near,
Holding onto the belief that they will be reunited.

Whisper I still love you
Expressing the depth of love and longing for the person.

Until that day is here ooh I'm cryin'.
Continuing to feel sorrow and heartache until the day that they are reunited.

Ooh baby baby ooh baby baby
Repeating the phrase to emphasize the strength of the emotions behind the song.
