Lyrics
She said she didn't know me
She expresses unfamiliarity with the speaker.
Said I'm sweet
Despite not knowing the speaker well, she acknowledges the speaker as sweet.
She said she didn't know me
Reiteration of her lack of knowledge about the speaker.
Now I'm not so sweet
The speaker's sweetness has diminished in her perception.
And yeah yeah baby baby yeah
An expression of dissatisfaction or change in the relationship.
Now I'm not so sweet
The speaker acknowledges a personal change, becoming less sweet.
Yeah yeah maybe baby yeah
Reiteration of the changing dynamics and a plea to set the speaker's "baby" free.
Set my baby free
The speaker wants freedom for the person referred to as "baby."
And now I'm looking for ya
The speaker is actively searching for something meaningful or significant.
What it could be
Pondering what the potential could be in the search.
And now I'm looking for ya
A continuation of the search for meaning or purpose.
You want to be with me
Someone wants to be with the speaker in the midst of their search.
Yeah yeah baby baby yeah
Reflection on the diminished sweetness of the speaker.
Now I'm not so sweet
The speaker reiterates a personal change, becoming less sweet.
Yeah yeah maybe baby yeah
Repetition of the changing dynamics and a plea to set the speaker's "baby" free.
Set my baby free
Restating the desire for freedom for the person referred to as "baby."
