Baby I
Ariana Grande · Yours Truly [2013]
Baby I got love for thee so deep inside of me I don't know where to start
I love you more than anything
But the words can't even touch what's in my heart
When I try to explain it I be sounding insane
The words don't ever come out right
I get all tongue tied (and twisted)
I can't explain what I'm feeling
So I say baby baby, baby
Baby I (ooh baby, oh baby, my baby)
Baby I (ooh baby, 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 ohohohoh)
Baby I'm so down for you no matter what you
(Real talk) I'll be around
See baby I been feelin' you
Before I knew what feelings were about
When I try to explain it I be sounding insane
The words don't ever come out right
I get all tongue tied (and twisted)
I can't explain what I'm feeling
So I say baby baby, baby
Baby I (ooh baby, oh baby, my baby)
Baby I (ooh baby, 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 ohohohoh)
Straight up you got me (all in)
How could I not be I sure hope you know
If it's even possible
I love you more
Than word 'love' can say it
It's better not explaining that why I keep saying,
Baby I
I love you more than anything
But the words can't even touch what's in my heart
When I try to explain it I be sounding insane
The words don't ever come out right
I get all tongue tied (and twisted)
I can't explain what I'm feeling
So I say baby baby, baby
Baby I (ooh baby, oh baby, my baby)
Baby I (ooh baby, 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 ohohohoh)
Baby I'm so down for you no matter what you
(Real talk) I'll be around
See baby I been feelin' you
Before I knew what feelings were about
When I try to explain it I be sounding insane
The words don't ever come out right
I get all tongue tied (and twisted)
I can't explain what I'm feeling
So I say baby baby, baby
Baby I (ooh baby, oh baby, my baby)
Baby I (ooh baby, 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 ohohohoh)
Straight up you got me (all in)
How could I not be I sure hope you know
If it's even possible
I love you more
Than word 'love' can say it
It's better not explaining that why I keep saying,
Baby I
