I be thinking about you
Baby, baby, baby, yeah
Tossing in my bed all these thoughts in my head
Got me losing my breath now
Baby, baby, baby, yeah
Tell me what would you do
How I feel about you
About you
I wanna your be first, your last, your everything
I wanna be in your arms and definitely
I wanna be someone you keep coming back to see

Wanna be your baby
Deep down inside there's an unending fire
And I just can't contain it
Baby, baby, baby, yeah
You're the only one who came
Show me that you feel the same
I wanna hear you say my name
Baby, baby, baby, yeah

She longs to be "your first, your last, your everything", someone who they keep "coming back to see". The lyrics convey a sense of desperation, as the singer pleads with the object of her affections to reciprocate her feelings. The line "Tell me what would you do if you only knew how I feel about you, about you" highlights the singer's desire to know if her feelings are requited or not.

@JarrettWilliams99
Can't believe this isn't one of her top songs
@paninaro81
another good Swedish pop album that never got a US release. I especially love this Baby song, it has an 80's feel to it! Her vocal style is similar to Rihanna. But why does it say one song "Never Gonna Die" is not available in my country? A wonderful pop record! :-)
@TheAiscy
