Baby It's Me
Embracing Love's Fire: Baby It's Me by Diana Ross
Lyrics
You got the shakin, I got the shimmy
You have excitement or energy, and I have enthusiasm or eagerness.
You got the takin, I got the gimme
You possess the ability to take, and I have the inclination to give.
And I don't want to go but baby you send me
Although I don't want to leave, your influence captivates me.
You want it all and I want to give it
You desire everything, and I am willing to provide it.
You are the dream and I want to live it
You represent the ideal, and I aspire to experience it.
And I don't want to go but baby you send me
Despite my reluctance, your allure compels me to go.
Baby it's me, I'm the same as you
I am the same as you; we share common qualities.
A dreamer who dreams that's a dream come true
We are both dreamers, and my dreams have come true by meeting you.
And all my life all I've wanted to meet someone just like you
Throughout my life, meeting someone like you has been my deepest desire.
Someone just like you who wants to love me, too
Specifically, someone like you who desires to love me in return.
Someone just like you
This emphasizes the desire for a unique and special connection.
we've got the spark, we've got the desire
We have a spark, a strong attraction, and a shared passion.
The longer we burn the higher the fire
The longer our love lasts, the more intense it becomes.
And baby take my heart, I want you to have it
I am willing to give you my heart; I want you to possess it.
Our love's a storm, it goes on forever
Our love is like a storm, enduring and powerful.
The more that it rains the better the weather
Challenges make our love stronger and better.
And baby take my heart, I want you to have it
I am committed to giving you my heart.
Baby it's me, I'm the same as you
I am similar to you, sharing common characteristics.
A dreamer who dreams that's a dream come true
Both of us are dreamers, and my dreams have become reality with you.
And all my life all I've wanted to meet someone just like you
Meeting someone like you has been a lifelong aspiration.
Someone just like you who wants to love me, too
Emphasizing the desire for mutual love from someone like you.
Someone just like you
This reinforces the wish for a unique and reciprocal connection.
You got the shakin, I got the shimmy

You got the takin, I got the gimme

And I don't want to go but baby you send me

You want it all and I want to live it
You have aspirations, and I am eager to live them with you.
You got a dream and I want to live it
