Babydoll
Mariah Carey · Triple Feature [2010]
Watching TV in my hotel suite
I check my service every second
At 2:10 you still hadn't called me
So I'm gonna leave my cell phone
Turned on in my purse by the bed
And before I fall asleep
I guess I'll just check my machine
Again and again because I'm
Obsessing on you
Chorus:
I wanna be your babydoll
Wrap me up nice and tight
Love me all through the night
Come lay me down
Enfold me in your arms
Cover me with velvet kisses
Rock me on and on
And whisper softly to me
You wanna be my babydoll
Zoning out thinking 'bout
You and me between the sheets
I wanna get intimate
But you're not within my reach
So I'll have a little more wine
And I'll try to drink you
Out of my head
And I'll lay awake a while
'Til Im high enough I can
Forget all about you until
I wake up again
(Chorus)
Slipping into dreams
I feel my love surround you
My subconscious seems
To weave itself around you
Do you care for me
Beyond idolization
Tell me how you feel
But don't keep me at bay
'Cause I won't be waiting long
(Chorus x2)
Babydoll
Babydoll stands as a notable song in Mariah Carey's extensive discography, released during her 2010 era. The track appears on the compilation album Triple Feature, a collection that also includes material from her concurrent studio release, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. This period marked a time of continued vocal experimentation and genre-blending for the pop icon, who had long established herself as a defining force in contemporary R&B and pop music. The song reflects the polished production values and melodic sensibilities characteristic of her work throughout the decade. While distinct from her earlier chart-topping hits like We Belong Together or the introspective mood of Obsessed, Babydoll contributes to the broader narrative of Carey's enduring influence on modern songwriting and vocal performance.
