Baby Blues Lyrics

I wonder what's happening to me
Things are changing so dramatically
I'll search for you,
You're not really there
Still I wonder
Knowing that you do care

I shut up, I shut up, I shut up, I shut up
I shut up, I shut up, I shut up now (x2)
I shut up now, I shut up now (x2)

He is the best thing
To come my way
Perfect picture
Baby blues in my day
He is the best thing to come around
Sleeping in his cradle safe and sound

I shut up, I shut up, I shut up, I shut up
I shut up, I shut up, I shut up now (x2)

I shut up, I shut up, I shut up, I shut up
I shut up, I shut up, I shut up now (x2)

I shut up now, I shut up now (x2)

Baby blues, baby blues (x4)
Sha la la, sha la la, sha la la, sha la la (x6)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song's a lot of fun. I have no idea what the meaning of all the "I shut up" lines is, but it's still a happy little song.
