Go Baby Go
Ride the Waves of Freedom: Beth Ditto's 'Go Baby Go' Revels in Choosing Love
Lyrics
I don't have all the answers
I lack complete knowledge or solutions
I don't pretend to know
I don't feign understanding
There's too many cooks in the kitchen
There are too many people involved, causing chaos
Too many songs on the radio
There's an overflow of songs on the airwaves
I don't know what they're saying
I don't comprehend their message
It doesn't really matter, I ain't listenin'
The content doesn't affect me, I'm not paying attention
This pretty face ain't going to waste
My attractiveness won't be wasted
I ride, baby, ride
I'll keep moving forward energetically
High baby, high
Reach a high point
Low, baby, low
Reach a low point
Take it, don't leave it
Accept what's offered, engage in dancing
Dancing
Moving rhythmically in response to the music
Go, baby, go
Encouragement to move forward or progress
Hmm go, baby, go
-Go, baby, go
-Now I'm gonna call you ghost rider
Nickname given, possibly indicating a daring persona
Ghost ridin' on, with you in the back
Continuing boldly with someone in the background
I'm gonna call you baby
Term of endearment used until a dramatic reaction
Until you turn around and have a heart attack
Predicting a sudden shock or surprise
Now, I'm gonna tell you the future
Prophecy about the future involving various types of people
You, me, the creeps and the losers
The attractiveness of an individual won't be wasted
Your pretty face ain't goin' to waste
Enthusiastic invitation to continue forward energetically
Let's ride, baby, ride
High baby, high
Repeated encouragement to move or progress
Low, baby, low
-Take it, don't leave it
-Dancing
-Just go, baby, go
Reiteration of urging to move forward or progress
Go, baby, go
-Go, baby, go
-Go, baby, go
-Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Repetitive vocalizations adding emphasis
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
-Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
-I believe in you, baby
Expressing belief in someone's goodness and choosing them
'Cause you're all kinds of good
-I have the freedom to choose
-And I'm choosing you
-I believe in you, baby
Reiteration of belief and commitment to doing good
'Cause I only do you good
-I have the freedom to choose
-And I'm choosing you
-High baby, high
Encouragement to move or progress, repeating the theme
Low, baby, low
-Take it, don't leave it
-Dancing
-Go, baby, go
-Go, baby, go
-Go, baby, go
-Take it, don't leave it
-Dancing
-Just go, baby, go
-Go, baby, go
