“Babygirl” is Charli entertaining a sexually-charged fantasy. Speaking directly to the listener, she implicates them in her plans by continually referring to “you” and “us.” Guest vocalist Uffie adds to this illusion with her verse, which contains the most explicitly fantastical proposition:
Go ste...
[Verse 1: Charli XCX]
If you're feeling real sad, just look on your wall
I'm your pin-up princess, yeah, you know who to call
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
I've got a million dollar smile, I can live in your dreams
With my angel wings and Fiorucci jeans
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
[Pre-Chorus 1: Charli XCX]
Close your eyes and lay back (Mhm)
Think about us, we could burn up the second we touch
Yeah, let your mind just relax
We could play rough, make your blood rush, velveteen brush
[Chorus: Charli XCX]
I’ll be your baby girl, your baby girl
I’ll be your baby girl, your baby girl
I’ll be your baby girl, your baby girl
I’ll be your baby girl, your baby girl
[Verse 2: Uffie]
Gloss on my lips, pop, sun in my eyes
Go steal the liquor from inside
Wanna take a little sip with you
Wanna spend a little bit with you
Open the top, pop, drink in my glass
Here come the cop, cops, better drink fast
Wanna take a little sip with you
Wanna spend a little bit with you
[Pre-Chorus 2: Charli XCX]
Just close your eyes and lay back (Mhm)
Think about us, we could burn up the second we fuck
Yeah, let your mind just relax
We could play rough, make your blood rush, velveteen brush
[Chorus: Charli XCX]
I’ll be your baby girl, your baby girl
I’ll be your baby girl, your baby girl
I’ll be your baby girl, your baby girl
I’ll be your baby girl, your baby girl
[Bridge: Charli XCX]
I'm hanging all alone
Let me live inside your world (Hmm)
More than a fantasy
Let me be your baby girl (Hmm)
[Chorus: Charli XCX]
I’ll be your baby girl, your baby girl
I’ll be your baby girl, your baby girl
I’ll be your baby girl, your baby girl
I’ll be your baby girl, your baby girl
I’ll be your baby girl, your baby girl
I’ll be your baby girl, your baby girl
I’ll be your baby girl, your baby girl
I’ll be your baby girl, your baby girl
[Outro: Charli XCX & Uffie]
Baby girl, your baby girl
I'll be your baby girl, your baby girl
Baby girl, your baby girl (Haha, sassy babes)
I'll be your baby girl, your baby girl
