In “Baby Eyes” the narrator meets an innocent girl who is the polar opposite of who he is (dangerous and out of control). Even though he likes her he warns her of his personality and wants her to be kept safe from the more mischievous side of his personality.
[Intro]
Go! Go! Go!
[Verse 1]
Year of the rat, last of the litter
Somebody shot the babysitter
They say my middle name is "Danger"
The kind you keep away from strangers
[Chorus]
I say, "Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm out of control"
Well, baby, when I see your pretty face
I say, "Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
God rest your fuckin' soul"
'Cause baby, baby, I was born to kill
[Verse 2]
I pulled the trigger for the shooting stars
I am the motor in your crashing car
I am the cherub in the Arab spring
I am the bullet in your magazine
[Chorus]
I say, "Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm out of control"
Well, baby, when I see your pretty face
I say, "Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
God rest your fuckin' soul"
'Cause baby, baby eyes
Well, baby, baby eyes
Well, baby, baby, I was born to... kill!
