“Baby I” is the second single off Ariana’s album Yours Truly. In this song Ariana Grande is trying to explain to the boy she loves him. Even though she has these strong feelings for him, she can’t get her thoughts and words together to express this to him.
Popsugar rated this track 4.5/5 and stated...
[Verse 1]
Baby, I got love for thee so deep inside of me
I don't know where to start (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I love you more than anything
But the words can't even touch what's in my heart (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
No, no (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
When I try to explain it, I be soundin' insane
The words don't ever come out right
I get all tongue-tied (And twisted)
I can't explain what (I'm feelin')
And I say, "Baby, baby" (Oh-woah-woah), "Baby"
[Chorus]
(Baby, I) Oh, baby, oh, baby, my baby
(Baby, I) Oh, baby, baby, I
(Baby, I) All I'm tryna say is you're my everything, baby
But every time I try to say it, words, they only complicate it
Baby, baby (Oh-woah-woah)
[Verse 2]
Baby, I'm so down for you
No matter what'cha do (Real talk), I'll be around (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, baby
See, baby, I been feelin' you
Before I even knew what feelings were about (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, baby (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
When I try to explain it (Ooh), I be soundin' all crazy
Words don't ever come out right
I get all tongue-tied (And twisted)
I can't explain what (I'm feelin')
And I say, "Baby, baby" (Oh-woah-woah), "Baby"
[Chorus]
(Baby, I) Oh, baby, oh, baby, my baby
(Baby, I) Oh, baby, baby, I
(Baby, I) All I'm tryna say is you're my everything (Baby)
But every time I try to say it, words, they only complicate it
Baby, baby (Oh-woah, oh-woah)
(Baby, baby) Ooh-ayy
[Bridge]
Straight up, you got me (Ah-ah) all in
(How) Could I not be?
I sure hope you know (I sure hope you know)
If it's even possible, I love you more
Than the word "love" can say (Say)
It's better not explaining
That's why I keep saying "Baby, I"
[Chorus]
(Baby, I) Oh, baby, oh, baby, my baby
(Baby, I) Oh, baby, baby, I
(Baby, I) All I'm tryna say is you're my everything, baby
But every time I try to say it, words, they only complicate it
Baby, baby (Oh-woah, oh-woah)
Baby (Baby, baby), baby, I (Baby, I)
Oh, baby (Ooh), oh, baby, my baby (Baby, I)
(Baby, I) Oh, baby, baby, I (Ah)
(Baby, I) All I'm tryna say is you're my everything, baby
But every time I try to say it, words, they only complicate it (Ooh)
Every time I try to say it, words, they only complicate it
Every time I try to say it, words, they only complicate it
Baby, baby (Oh-woah-woah)
Baby, baby
