Try It Baby
Unrequited Love: Yearning and Heartbreak in Chris Clark's "Try It Baby
Lyrics
Now you're moving on up, pretty baby
Expressing that the person is progressing or improving in life.
You're leaving me behind
Feeling left behind as the person moves forward.
Everybody seems to love you
Noticing that others admire and appreciate the person.
Oh, you're doing just fine, fine, fine
Acknowledging the person's success and well-being.
But take away your good looks
Suggesting that physical appearance is a significant part of the person's charm.
And all your fancy clothes
Highlighting the importance of material possessions and external image.
Why don't you just
Encouraging the person to consider a different perspective or action.
Try it baby
Repeatedly urging the person to try a different approach or behavior.
Try it baby
-Try it baby
-Try it baby
-You'll see
Implying that trying the suggested change will reveal something important.
Nobody loves you but me
Asserting that the speaker is the only one who truly loves the person.
Now you tell me that you're so busy, pretty baby
Addressing the person's busyness and lack of time.
You ain't got much time
Expressing a sense of loss as the person becomes occupied.
Oh, how will I remember
Reflecting on the past when the person's time was dedicated to the speaker.
When all your time was mine, mine, mine
Reiterating the speaker's claim to the person's time and attention.
Well move on back cross the track, baby
Suggesting a return to the person's origins or roots.
Where you came from
Encouraging the person to go back to where they started.
Why don't you just
Repeating the plea for the person to try a different path.
Try it baby
-Try it baby
-Try it baby
-Try it baby
-You'll see
Emphasizing that the suggested change will reveal the speaker's unique love.
That nobody loves you but me
Reaffirming that nobody loves the person except the speaker.
Nobody loves you but me
-I really want to hold you, pretty baby
Expressing a strong desire to embrace the person.
In my arms again
Yearning to hold the person close once again.
But I can't get close to you
Feeling unable to get emotionally close due to the person's social circle.
For all your loving friend, friend, friend
Referring to the person's friends who might be affecting the relationship.
But take your name from the bright lights baby
Advising the person to step away from the spotlight and fame.
And tell me that you are all through
Asking the person to confirm the end of their glamorous lifestyle.
Come on and
Encouraging the person to try a different, simpler approach.
Try it honey
Repeating the plea for the person to try a more modest way of life.
Try it baby
-Try it sweetheart
-Try it honey
-You'll see, nobody loves you but me
