Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby I'm back (yeah)
I'm here to cater to you (any thing that you want me: do I'll do it)
Cause I'll be your lover (I'll be your lover)
I'll be your best friend
Tell me what I gotta do (tell me what I gotta do and I'll do it)
Now I'm back in a flesh
Forget about the rest; let's go inside, I'm back in your zone
Baby I'm back in your vibe, now I can't be denied I can lie I'm on ya
I never ever wanna say sayonara
Somebody told me that the grass was greener
On the other side of andele arriba
Never really used to be a mean to cheat her
What I gotta do to be a keeper
These words comin' out the speaker, true love is off the meter
Don't look no farther!
Baby I'm back (yeah)
I'm here to cater to you (any thing that you want me: do I'll do it)
Cause I'll be your lover (I'll be your lover)
I'll be your best friend
Tell me what I gotta do (tell me what I gotta do and I'll do it)
I was gone for a minute but now I'm home,
Kids forget me for being a rolling stone,
Please forgive me let me polish it up like chrome,
Get off the phone till he swears to leave me alone,
Let my start your interest, now there's no more dating on the internet,
Cause you already know how I get it wet, how I get it so salty and I get respect,
You don't have to look no farther, you dealin' with the whole enchilada,
You don't have to look no farther, you hotter then a fire starter
Don't look no farther!
Baby I'm back (yeah)
I'm here to cater to you (any thing that you want me: do I'll do it)
Cause I'll be your lover (I'll be your lover)

The lyrics to Akon's song "Baby I" are about a man who has been away from his lover for a while but is now back and wants to make up for lost time. He promises to cater to her and be her lover and best friend. He admits that he had previously been tempted by other women, but now he knows he wants to be with her and make it work. The lines "I was gone for a minute but now I'm home, kids forget me for being a rolling stone" suggest that he may have been unfaithful or unreliable in the past, but now he wants to make things right.
The lyrics also contain references to sex, with lines like "let me hit it" and "how I get it wet." However, the overall tone of the song is one of commitment and devotion. The chorus repeats the line "Don't look no farther, baby I'm back" to emphasize that the singer is now fully committed to the relationship and wants to make it work.
