Here I Am Baby
Love's Unexpected Triumph: Here I Am Baby
Lyrics
Here I am baby, the one who swore to never yield
The speaker presents themselves, having previously vowed not to surrender.
Here I am baby, the one who swore to play the field
The speaker acknowledges their earlier commitment to avoiding committed relationships.
Said I wouldn't let no man tie me down, not a single one now
Expressing the resolve not to be tied down by any man, emphasizing independence.
Wasn't gonna give my heart to a mother's son now
They were determined not to give their heart to anyone.
Many a day I proudly stated, the man for me ain't been created
The speaker confidently proclaimed that they had not found a suitable partner.
But here I am baby, the one who was so love-defiant
The speaker, despite their previous defiance towards love, now finds themselves in love.
Here I am baby, the one who was so self-reliant
They were previously highly self-reliant and independent.
Said I wouldn't need men or nothin' else; I'd be independent
They once believed they wouldn't require men or anything else and could be self-sufficient.
Make a fortune all my own, I'd know how to spend it
Had plans to earn their own fortune and manage it independently.
I'd be so stationary, love would be unnecessary
The speaker thought they would be emotionally detached, rendering love unnecessary.
But here I am
Reiterating their current situation after the preceding statements.
Here I am, baby baby baby, you want me and I do concede
The speaker acknowledges the desire of the other person and admits to being attracted to them.
Here I am, baby baby baby, I find you're what I really need
Recognizing the necessity of the other person in their life.
Say you've got me hangin' on a string, don't you let me drop now
Feeling emotionally vulnerable and pleading not to be abandoned by the person they love.
Since you started lovin' me, don't you ever stop now
Expressing the importance of the relationship and asking for the love to continue.
Don't wanna be loved by another, I ain't goin' another further
Declaring a refusal to entertain love from anyone else and not wanting to proceed further in other relationships.
Here I am, baby baby baby, take me 'cause I'm yours alone
Offering themselves entirely to the person they love.
Here I am, baby baby baby, yours to call your very own
Acknowledging their exclusivity to the person and being dedicated only to them.
