Baby I Lyrics

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 cant 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

And I say baby, baby
Baby (baby I)
Oh baby, oh baby, my baby (Baby I)
Oh baby, baby I (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 (Ooh oh)

Baby I'm so down for you
No matter what you do (real talk) I'll be around
Oh baby, see baby I been feelin' you
Before I even knew what feelings were about
Oh baby

When I try to explain it I be sounding all crazy
The words don't ever come out right
I get all tongue tied (and twisted)
I can't explain what I'm feeling

And I say baby, baby
Baby (baby I)
Oh baby, oh baby, my baby (baby I)
Oh baby, baby I (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
Baby, baby

Straight up, you got me
All in, how could I not be
I sure hope you know (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's why I keep saying baby I

Ooh baby, oh baby, my baby (Baby I)
Oh baby, baby I (baby I)
All I'm tryna say is you're my everything baby
But every time I try to say it words they only complicated

Baby, baby (baby)
Baby, baby (baby I)
Ooh baby oh baby oh baby (Baby I)
Oh 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 complicated
Every time I try to say it words they only complicated
Every time I try to say it words they only complicated

Baby, baby
Baby, baby

Baby I

Ariana Grande's second single from her debut album, Yours Truly, finds her expressing her special love for someone but admitting that she can't formulate her strong feelings into words. "Baby I got love for thee, so deep inside of me I don't know where to start," she croons. The song was released on July 22, 2013.

The song was written and produced by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds (who is best known for his contribution to the creation of New Jack Swing in the late 1980s), Antonio Dixon, and Patrick "J. Que" Smith. The trio also penned together Beyoncé's hit single, "Best Thing I Never Had."

Several reviewers compared Ariana's vocal performance on the song with another singer who has a large vocal range and a whistle register: Mariah Carey. The Sam & Cat star told MTV News that her debut album was inspired, in part, by the superstar songstress. "You know I love just like old R&B. I love the '90s, that whole vibe. I love Mariah Carey, of course, she's the goddess of all vocals," she said.

The song has a strong nostalgia vibe to it. Ariana told MTV News: "I love that. It felt like '90s, Aaliyah, Destiny's Child. I like that it has that throwback feeling to it. And that's when I grew up and it was such a feel-good song to me."

"And I love what it says," she continued. "I love it's about loving somebody so much that you just don't know what to say. I think that's really cute. I laughed the first time I heard the lyrics. I like that I get to sing a little more on it... It's quirky."

Ariana told MTV News that she can relate to the song's lyrical content about getting tongue-tied when you're with somebody you like. "Personally when it comes to me expressing myself with other people, especially if it's towards the beginning of a crush or the beginning of a relationship, I'm so awkward and so flustered in that way," she said. "I'm always so nervous to express myself that I feel like it's a very me song in that way."

The song's 1990s throwback video was filmed July 28-29, 2013. "When I said 'I want it to look like this,' I said like a TLC, Fresh Prince type vibe," Grande told Billboard magazine. "I was like, 'Let's just get really silly, 90's amazing outfits, and just go out and dance around and have fun."

Right There Lyrics

(If you wanna party, if you, if you wanna party)
Then put your hands up (Put your hands up)
(If you wanna party, if you, if you wanna party)
Then put your hands up (Put your hands up)
You got it, you got it babe
You got it, you got it babe
You got it, you got it babe
You got it, you got it babe (Sean Don! Okay, this, this)

This for my number one girl who got the top spot title
Spent a hour in the bathroom walked out looking like a model
God! Doing what you do, got me Right There with Apollo
On the moon, Who needs genies in a bottle girl
If they already got you

Boy you make me feel so lucky
Finally the stars align
Never has it been so easy, to be in love
And to give you this heart of mine
You know what I need (Eh!)
I know what you like (Eh!)
Put it all together baby we could be alright (Hey)
How could this be wrong
When it feels so right
Yeah, I really love you I really love you

And I'll never let you go
You should know
I'm never gonna change
I'm always gonna stay
You call for me, I'm right there (right there)
Right there (right there)
'Cause you listen
And you care
You're so different
No one compares
And if you never change
I'm gonna stay right there
I'll always be right there

You got it, you got it babe (If you wanna party, if you, if you wanna party)
You got it, you got it babe (If you wanna party, if you, if you wanna party)

And I get butterflies, just thinking
About you boy, you're on my mind
Sometimes I catch myself daydreaming
Lost in in your eyes and I lose all track of time
You know what I need (Eh!)
I know what you like (Eh!)
Put it all together baby we could be alright (Hey)
How could this be wrong
When it feels so right
I really need you
I really love you whoa

And I'll never let you go
You should know
I'm never gonna change
I'm always gonna stay
You call for me, I'm right there (right there)
Right there (right there)
Cause you listen
And you care
You're so different
No one compares
And if you never change
I'm gonna stay right there (What, Okay, What)
I'll always be right there

Now if all fell through it
Would you catch me before the pavement
If my Benz turned back to Public Transportation
Would you still be at home for me with the candles waiting
And get my mind back adjacent to the place of a young visionary
A player too, you know I have some girls missionary
My black book, and numbers thicker than the dictionary
And bible I got to recycle
I love and I like you
Five course meals even though you don't mind a drive-thru
That's why I got you

And I'll never let you go (I got you)
You should know
I'm never gonna change
I'm always gonna stay
You call for me, I'm right there (right there)
Right there
Cause you listen
And you care
You're so different
No one compares
And if you never change
I'm gonna stay right there
I'll always be right there

(If you wanna party, if you, if you wanna party)
You got it, I'll always be right there
Always be right there, you got it, you got it babe
You got it, you got it babe
You got it, you got it babe
You got it, you got it babe

Right There

This mid-tempo love song finds Ariana trading verses with G.O.O.D. Music MC Big Sean about their feelings on relationships. Whilst Grande croons more traditionally romantic sentiments Sean bigs up his attraction to females. "My black book of numbers thicker than the dictionary," he boasts. The track was made available as a free download for fans who pre-order Ariana's Yours Truly album.

Ariana told MTV News that she considers the song to be, "kind of like the sequel to 'The Way.'"

Ariana and Sean have been friends for a while, but she was waiting for the perfect tune to collaborate with the rapper. "We wanted to have writing sessions and, like, jam together but we never found the time and we never found the right song," she said. "We were talking about a few other songs together but it just never worked out and it never was the right moment and then finally 'Right There' came along. And we were like 'Oh this is it'."

Producer Harmony Samuels sampled the jazz funk loop from Lil Kim's hip-hop tune "Crush On You." The rapper's 1996 hit single interpolated The Jeff Lorber Fusion's "Rain Dance" from their 1979 album Water Sign.

The song's music video was directed by Nev Todorovic and produced by Allysa Pankiw of the Young Astronauts, the same pair that worked on Arina's "Almost Is Never Enough" clip. It is based on Baz Luhrmann's 1996 take on William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and focuses on the story's masquerade ball, where Grande's Juliet locks eyes with Romeo. The latter is played by American actor and son of Arnie, Patrick Schwarzenegger (Grown Ups 2), whilst Big Sean portrays "The Priest."

Todorovic told MTV News that the references to Baz Luhrmann's 1996 re-telling of the play was something that they hadn't originally intended on. "The religious symbolism and the costume party are all from the original Shakespearean play," he explained. "But as we were planning the shoot, and especially on set, we started seeing more of those similarities emerge. Like if you notice, we had an Astronaut in the masquerade ball and everyone is comparing it to Paul Rudd's character, but really it was an homage to our team The Young Astronauts!"

Almost Is Never Enough Lyrics

I'd like to say we gave it a try
I'd like to blame it all on life
Maybe we just weren't right,
But that's a lie,
That's a lie

And we can deny it as much as we want
But in time our feelings will show
'Cause sooner or later, we'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is everyone knows

Almost
Almost Is Never Enough
So close to being in love
If I would have known that you wanted me
The way I wanted you
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each others arms

And we almost
We almost knew what love was
But almost is never enough

If I could change the world overnight
There'd be no such thing as goodbye
You'll be standing right where you were
And we'd get the chance we deserve

Try to deny it as much as you want
But in time our feelings will show
'Cause sooner or later, we'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is everyone knows

Almost
Almost is never enough
So close to being in love
If I would have known that you wanted me
The way I wanted you, oh
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each others arms

And we almost
We almost knew what love was
But almost is never enough

(Huh) oh, huh oh
(Oh baby) hmm
(You know) oh
(You know baby)
(Almost)

Baby baby baby (is not enough baby)

(You know) huh huh
(Huh yeah)

And we can deny it as much as we want
But in time our feelings will show
'Cause sooner or later, we'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is everyone knows

Almost
Almost is never enough (is never in enough babe)
(We were) so close to being in love (So close)
If I would have known that you wanted me (that you wanted me)
The way I wanted you, babe
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each others arms

And we we almost
We almost knew what love was (baby)
But almost is never enough

(Huh)
(Oh baby) almost
(You know) hey
(You know baby)
(Almost)
(Is never enough baby) never
(At all)
(Hey ey ey)

Almost Is Never Enough

This love ballad is a duet with The Wanted's Nathan Sykes - both singers are managed by Scooter Braun. Ariana recalled to MTV News: "I didn't know it was going to be a duet and Scooter just said 'Check your email'."

"And Nathan just sang the hell out of it," she added. "I thought it was Brian McKnight. I'm like 'Who is this?' Honestly I wasn't expecting it. I didn't know he had that in him. I saw him perform live on one of the radio shows that we were at together and I was like, 'Damn he can sing.'"

The song also features on The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones soundtrack. Ariana told MTV News: "The version going on the Mortal Instruments soundtrack is a much shorter version. The one that's on my album is very long. But I'm really excited by it."

This marked the first time Sykes hit the recording studio after undergoing vocal cord surgery back in April 2013. "I met Ariana at a charity bowling event thing, and she seemed lovely, and we kept in contact, and she's a really talented girl," Sykes recalled to MTV News. "I got the call from Scooter like, 'We want you to try this vocal. It's a really hard vocal, and she doesn't even know it's been turned into a duet.'"

"This would have been the first time I've recorded since my surgery, so I went in," Nathan added, noting that the team had to evaluate his post-surgery vocal ability. "I was really nervous. I've never been so nervous for a session, and went in and [did] what I like to think is quite possibly the best vocal I've ever recorded. I'm really proud of it."

Braun tweeted that the video for the track has hints of Boyz II Men and Mariah Carey's clip for their 1995 hit ballad "One Sweet Day." Sykes told MTV News that "One Sweet Day" is a good comparison: "Yeah, it's kind of that vibe, the sort of sound we really took to on the track, and we're both big fans of both those artists," he said. "The video's a really cool video. It was shot and recorded in the studio. I get to get on the piano at some points. It shows a really fun day recording the track."

The pair debuted the song live on August 10, 2013 in Atlanta, Georgia, while Grande was enjoying a brief stint opening for Justin Bieber on his Believe tour.

Daydreamin'

During a June 2012 video interview, Ariana described her debut album as being "'50s, '60s Doo-Wop-inspired." Later in the year, she met up with her label and expressed dissatisfaction with the direction the album was taking. Ariana expressed a desire instead to make the type of '90s urban Pop music she grew up listening to. Most of the previously finished songs for the record were scrapped, except for this song, "Tattooed Heart" and "Honeymoon Avenue," which were all reworked from their original Doo-Wop sound to one with a turn of the century Pop feel.

The album was originally titled after this song but it was renamed Yours Truly after Ariana decided that the LP felt like a love letter she wanted to sign.

Better Left Unsaid Lyrics

I told you once, "Get out my life
I don't need ya, I'll be alright"
But some things are Better Left Unsaid (said said)
So tell the truth, and hit me hard
A broken heart is all I have now, but
Some things are better left unsaid (said said)

And I swore that I would never say
I miss you more every day
But some things are better left unsaid
Are better left unsaid
Said
Said

Oh-ooh-whoa-ooh-oh-oh
I'm gonna say please
?
Oh-ooh-whoa-ooh-oh-oh
Tonight I'm gonna loose
Don't play me just kiss me

If you wanna party, put your hands up
Put your hands up put your hands up
Don't play me just kiss me
Oh-ooh-whoa-ooh-oh-oh
Tonight I'll say
Don't play me just kiss me, babe

You tell a lie, plan tonight
Too many drinks
So many reasons that some things are better left unsaid

And I swore that I would never say
I miss you more every day
But some things are better left unsaid
Are better left unsaid
Said
Said

Oh-ooh-whoa-ooh-oh-oh

Put your hands up put your hands up
Don't play me just kiss me
Oh-ooh-whoa-ooh-oh-oh
Tonight I'll say
Don't play me just kiss me, babe

If you wanna party, put your hands up
Put your hands up put your hands up

So many reasons that some things are better left unsaid

Better Left Unsaid Song Chart

Ariana Grande tries to mend her broken heart in this song, the last track from her debut album, Yours Truly. She co-wrote the part-ballad, part-dance number with a team of writers, including Harmony Samuels (who also co-wrote and produced the singer's debut single, "The Way"), Courtney Harrell, Al Sherrod Lambert, Moses Ayo Samuels and Olaniyi Michael Akinkunmi.

This was originally going to be called "Tipsy." The line "Don't play me, just kiss me" was originally "Don't blame me, I'm tipsy."
