Baby Girl Lyrics

The lyrics really do say "Girl you'll remember what your knees are for." This is a reference to praying to God and thanking him for everything that he gave you, such as your talent and will to continue on. It has no sexual connotations, and it is definitely not about begging. This can be proved by the lines before it telling her not to become distracted by the "shiny things" and gifts that people will offer her, but to stay true to her family morals and her beliefs.

@drummer_girl803 Nowhere does it say to "not to become distracted by shiny things".. It says "They promise fancy cars and diamond rings All sorts of shiny things" NOTHING about not being distracted so you can't interpret it this way. I really think the "knees" line pertains to the fact that she has to submit to sexual favors on her knees in front of record producers to get what she wants. (NOT scrubbing floors or praying.......but I guess that's why it's left open to interpretation.)
