If You Be My Baby
Unconditional Love's Promise: If You Be My Baby
Lyrics
If you be my baby, tell you what I'll do
If you agree to be my partner, here's what I will do
I'll give you so much lovin', you gotta love me too
I'll provide you with a significant amount of love, and in return, I expect your love too
If you be my baby
Reiteration of the proposal, asking for confirmation
If you be my baby
Repetition for emphasis, expressing a strong desire for the listener to be the speaker's baby
If you be my baby
Continued emphasis on the desire for the listener to be the speaker's baby
I'm gonna keep you satisfied
Commitment to keeping the partner content and happy
Now listen to me baby, just what I'm talkin' 'bout
The speaker urges the listener to pay attention to what is being communicated
You got something woman, makes a dumb man scream and shout
Complimenting the listener, suggesting they possess qualities that captivate and excite
If you be my baby
Reiteration of the proposal, seeking confirmation
If you be my baby
Emphatic repetition, underscoring the importance of the listener being the speaker's baby
If you be my baby
Strong desire for the listener to be the speaker's baby, emphasizing commitment
I'm gonna keep you satisfied
Commitment to keeping the partner content and happy (repeated)
Lookin' for a woman, never done no wrong
Searching for a partner who has never caused harm or done wrong
Cook my meals in the day time and love me all night long
Desire for domesticity - wanting a partner who cooks meals during the day and provides love throughout the night
If you be my baby
Reiteration of the proposal, seeking confirmation
If you be my baby
Emphatic repetition, underscoring the importance of the listener being the speaker's baby
If you be my baby
Strong desire for the listener to be the speaker's baby, emphasizing commitment
I'm gonna keep you satisfied
Commitment to keeping the partner content and happy (repeated)
If you be my baby, tell you what I'll do
Reiteration of the benefits the speaker will provide if the listener agrees to be their baby
I'll give you so much lovin', you gotta love me too
Promise of abundant love, with an expectation of reciprocal love from the listener
If you be my baby
Reiteration of the proposal, seeking confirmation
If you be my baby
Emphatic repetition, underscoring the importance of the listener being the speaker's baby
If you be my baby
Strong desire for the listener to be the speaker's baby, emphasizing commitment
I'm gonna keep you satisfied
Commitment to keeping the partner content and happy (repeated)
