Baby Doll
Embracing Love's Struggles: "Baby Doll" Song Meaning Unveiled
Lyrics
Baby doll
Term of endearment for someone special
Do you believe they'll catch you when you fall?
Questioning whether support will be provided in times of trouble
And when morning comes
Reference to the start of a new day
The sun is gonna shine
Optimism about positive outcomes in the future
Don't forget your minor key's
Remembering the melancholic aspects of life
Your half lit cigarette
A symbol of a transient moment or experience
'Cause when morning comes
Reiteration of hope for a positive future
God knows that you'll be mine
Claiming ownership or a connection to someone
So let me in
Desire for entry into someone's life
I'm ready to beg and to sing for my sins
Willingness to plead and express remorse for mistakes
Not leave it to chance and sweet coincidence
Avoiding leaving things to chance and coincidence
Well, that's just crazy and you know it's true
Recognizing the craziness of a situation
Well, they said you was long gone
Disregarding rumors of someone's absence
I just laughed and said alright bring her home tonight
Confidence in bringing someone back home
And I heard you was graciously put on
Dismissal of rumors about someone's condition
I just laughed and said good night, guess it's alright
Acceptance of a situation as okay
Baby doll
Reiteration of the term of endearment
The men who hang like flowers in you're hall
People attracted to someone's allure
Are asking when
Curiosity about when love will be expressed
Your love is gonna show
Anticipation for love to manifest
And who knows why
Reflection on missed opportunities in love
The love you need will always pass you by
Feeling like the needed love always eludes
Well, I heard it's true
Acknowledgment of heard rumors about love
Your love is gonna grow
Expectation for love to grow
So let me know
Request for clarity or information
'Cause I can stay or honey I can go
Willingness to adapt to situations
Just to wherever you tell me so
Ready to follow instructions or directions
And find my place there and there I'll stay
Desire to find one's place and remain there
Well, they said you was burned out
Disbelief in rumors about someone's downfall
I just laughed and said come on, she's not burned she's just gone
Rejection of negative assumptions about someone
And it took me too long till I found out
Realization that it took time to understand a situation
Faces that you know the best oh well, I guess
Acceptance of the familiarity of certain faces
And they laughed when you said you was leaving
Recollection of disbelief when someone planned to leave
Everybody knows you well except for me, can't you tell?
Realization that others know someone well
And you watched from the wings of the late show
Observation of someone from a distance
Roses by your feet are red for me you said
Symbolic association of roses with a personal message
Baby doll, baby doll, baby doll, baby doll
Repetition of the term of endearment for emphasis
Baby doll, baby doll, baby doll, baby doll
Continued emphasis on the term of endearment
