You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby
Timeless Beauty Unveiled: You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby
Lyrics
Oh you know, you know, you know
Expressing familiarity and certainty
You must have been a beautiful baby
Implying the listener was a stunning baby
You must have been a wonderful child
Emphasizing the listener was an exceptional child
When you were only starting
Referring to the early years of growth
To go to kindergarten
Pointing to the time of starting school
I bet you drove those other childs wild
Suggesting the listener had a captivating effect on other children
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Reiterating affirmation and excitement
And when it came to winning blue ribbons
Indicating success in competitions
Well, I bet you taught the other kids how
Implying the listener was a leader or standout in teaching others
Well, I can see the judge's eyes
Imagining the scene of a competition
As they handed you the prize
Visualizing the moment of receiving an award
I bet you took the cutest bow
Assuming a graceful response upon winning
Yeah, you must a been a beautiful baby
Reaffirming the listener's exceptional appearance as a baby
'Cause baby won't you look at you now
Comparing the listener's past appearance to their present self
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Reiteration of excitement and affirmation
You must a have been a beautiful baby
Reiterating the listener's beauty as a baby
You must a have been a beautiful child
Stressing the listener's appeal as a child
When you were only startin'
Referencing the early schooling period
To go to kindergarten
Reflecting the impact on other children
I know you drove the other childs wild
Reiterating the listener's effect on peers
An' I wasn't even there
Expressing surprise at not being present during those times
An' when you came to winnin' blue ribbons
Reaffirming success in competitions
Hey, I know you taught those other kids how
Stating knowledge of the listener's teaching abilities
Well, I can see the judge's eyes
Imagining the judging moment in a competition
As they handed you the prize
Visualizing the act of receiving an award
I know you made the cutest bow
Assuming a charming response upon winning
Yeah, you must a been a beautiful baby
Reiteration of the listener's past beauty
'Cause baby won't you look at you now
Inviting the listener to reflect on their present self
Oh, I mean, I mean, oh, beautiful
Expressing admiration for the listener's beauty
Oh, beautiful
Repeating admiration for beauty
Oh, beautiful
-Oh, beautiful
-Oh, beautiful
-Oh, beautiful
-Aah, I know you're beautiful
Asserting the listener's beauty in present times
Too beautiful for words
Describing the listener as indescribably beautiful
