Baby It's Real
Embracing the Authenticity of Love: Baby It's Real by Rufus Thomas
Lyrics
My love is real, my love is real
Expressing the sincerity and authenticity of the speaker's love.
This thing I feel, baby, it's real
Affirming that the emotions experienced are genuine and not superficial.
Something inside said I can't hide
Internal feelings are so strong that they cannot be concealed.
Baby, it's real, I know, I know it's real
Reiterating the certainty that the love is real and undeniable.
I work my fingers down to the bone
Emphasizing hard work and dedication in the relationship.
And with these hands, I build you a home
Describing the physical efforts put into creating a home for the loved one.
My love is strong, stronger than Rome
Comparing the strength of the speaker's love to something formidable (stronger than Rome).
Oh, baby, it's real, oh, yes, I know it's real
Reaffirming the authenticity of the love, acknowledging its reality.
My friends all say that I'm a fool
Addressing the skepticism or disapproval of friends regarding the speaker's love.
But I can't stand my friend's ridicule
Expressing discomfort with friends' criticism and judgment.
Because it's real, oh, the way I feel
Highlighting the genuine nature of the emotions despite external opinions.
Yes, baby, it's real
Affirming the reality of the love once again.
I know, I know, I know, I know it's real
Repetition emphasizing the speaker's certainty about the authenticity of the love.
Sure as the sun shine in the sky
Using a metaphor (sunshine) to convey the enduring and constant nature of the speaker's love.
My love for you will never, never, never, never die
Asserting the eternal quality of the speaker's love.
And if you feel the way that I feel
Inviting the loved one to reciprocate similar feelings.
Baby, oh, it's real, I know, I know, I know it's real
Reaffirming the genuine nature of the love and the speaker's certainty.
And if you feel, oh, oh, the way that I feel
Repeating the invitation for the loved one to acknowledge the authenticity of their own feelings.
Baby it's real, oh, yes, it's real
Affirming once more that the love is real.
