Baby I've Changed
Love's Redemption: A Plea for Second Chances
Lyrics
She used to love me
Recalling a past when the singer was loved by their partner
She don't love me no more
Expressing the current absence of love from the partner
I stepped over the line
Admitting to crossing boundaries or limits in the relationship
Too many times
Indicating multiple instances of crossing these boundaries
And she stepped out the door
Resulting in the partner leaving
Well, baby, I've changed
Asserting a change in behavior or attitude
Won't you come back home?
Requesting the partner to return home
'Cause I've changed my wicked ways
Claiming to have altered negative habits
And I'll never throw your mail away
Promising not to interfere with the partner's belongings
And I won't tell you that your hair looks gray
Pledging not to criticize the partner's appearance
And I'll let you listen to Sugar Ray
Willingness to accommodate the partner's music preferences
And I'll say I love you every day
Commitment to expressing love daily
'Cause it's true
Acknowledging the truth of their feelings
Baby, I do
Reaffirming love for the partner
Now I hope and I pray
Expressing hope and desire for redemption in the relationship
I can turn this mess around
Seeking to rectify the situation
And I search for a way
Looking for ways to convince the partner to stay
To convince you to stay
Desiring commitment from the partner
And not just skip town
Urging the partner not to leave abruptly
Well, baby, I've changed
Reiteration of changed behavior
Won't you come back home?
Repeated plea for the partner's return
'Cause I've changed my wicked ways
Reaffirming the change in negative behavior
And I'll put away my socks and shoes
Willingness to take care of household chores
If the lights go out, I'll change the fuse
Commitment to handle problems, even minor ones
And I'll let you listen to the blues
Acceptance of the partner's music choices
And I'll say I love you
Reiterating the expression of love
Just because it's true
Emphasizing the sincerity of their love
Baby, I do
Reaffirming commitment and love
Baby, I do
Repeated declaration of commitment and love
Baby, I do
Final affirmation of commitment and love
