Baby Lyrics
You broke some bones when we were young
I can remember how you moaned
So I carried you home
Like a baby
You were thirteen
And I was twelve
I can remember how it felt
Wearing your broken body on
Like a lady
Ohhh, hahhh-hah
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
If ever you need me
Just call me
I'll carry you home
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
If ever you're broken
No reason to do it alone
We were both five
You started a fire
And for a moment, all was lost
But then the rain fell from the sky
It was magic
Couldn't believe
How it came down
Puddles of water all around
But when the clouds were finally gone
It seemed tragic
Ohhh, hahhh-hah
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
If ever you need me
Just call me
I'll carry you home
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
If ever you're broken
No reason to do it alone
[Spoken: Baby, I know we've seen our share of hard times, you and me. But I want you to know that I will always, no matter what, come to you--out of the mist or into the fire, across the sea, the mountains, the desert. And if you need me, just call me and I will carry you all the way home.]
Ohhh, hahhh-hah
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
If ever you need me
Just call me
I'll carry you home
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
If ever you're broken
No reason to do it alone
I can remember how you moaned
So I carried you home
Like a baby
And I was twelve
I can remember how it felt
Wearing your broken body on
Like a lady
If ever you need me
Just call me
I'll carry you home
If ever you're broken
No reason to do it alone
You started a fire
And for a moment, all was lost
But then the rain fell from the sky
It was magic
How it came down
Puddles of water all around
But when the clouds were finally gone
It seemed tragic
If ever you need me
Just call me
I'll carry you home
If ever you're broken
No reason to do it alone
If ever you need me
Just call me
I'll carry you home
If ever you're broken
No reason to do it alone

this is such a sweet song! I think it's basically about maybe a best friend and they're saying that if they ever need them, they'll be right there.
i took this song as being sarcastic-"like a baby/like a lady" sound insulting. She'll be there for him. Even if he's like a little girl. :) I might be biased, though, because the very beginning reminded me of my cousin, and how he broke his arm while climbing a fence with my brother. When my cousin finally convinced my bro. to get help, my brother didn't bother rushing, because any time my cousin has even the slightest issue, he screams bloody murder about it. So no one believed he was really injured, as crying was his typical reaction to anything from a toothache to, well, a broken arm. He has the reputation of being a crybaby. I'm sure you all care so very much. ;-)
well, sarcastic or not, it's a nice song. The level of nice-ness is up for discussion, as far as i can tell. (lol)
