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
