Ashanti Fansite

Ashanti? Having a baby? No, it doesn’t appear that the 28 year old is ready for that quite yet. When you hear Ashanti Baby you should be thinking instead of the song she released by that very name, Baby.

As the title hints the song makes excessive use of the word baby, though not in reference to a child but instead to an unidentified man. Baby is a love song through and through, and features the kind of unabashed adoration that you only usually see in your first relationship (or in 80 percent of the songs available on the market today).

Baby was the third single on Ashanti’s 2002 album, aptly named Ashanti. It works in tandem with the rest of the songs on the album, detailing Ashanti’s love life in lyrical form. It works in just around the time where the girl falls inextricably in love with the guy but before he breaks her heart.

Lyrics to Ashanti’s Baby:

I’ve got this jones formin in my bones
from a man
who indeed took over my soul
understand
I couldn’t breathe if he ever said
he would leave
get on my knees til they bloody red
beggin please
see I don’t know if you get it yet
just don’t know
he’s like a lighter to my cigarette
watch me smoke
I never knew another human life
didn’ t know
could have the power to take over mine
so baby

Baby baby baby baby baby
baby I love you
baby baby baby baby baby
I love it when I hear your name
got me sayin
baby baby baby baby baby
baby I love you
baby baby baby baby baby

See I can never feel alone with you
in my life
I’ll give up everything I own for you
won’t think twice
almost ashamed how I’m mesmerised
such a shame
I lose my thought lookin in your eyes
I know why
because your kisses make my lips quiver
and that’s real
and when you touch me my whole body shivers
I can feel
now I can see how another life
another life
could have the power to take over mine
cause you’re my

Baby baby baby baby baby
baby I love you
baby baby baby baby baby
I love it when I hear your name
got me sayin
baby baby baby baby baby
baby I love you
baby baby baby baby baby

Break it down

Baby I can see my worth
living here on God’s green earth
you don’t know what you’ve done to me
I never thought i’d need you desperately
it’s kinda sick how I’m stuck on you
but I don’t care cause I’m needin you
and how I feel will remain the same
cuz you’re my baby

And when the world starts to stress me out
will I run
it’s to you boy without a doubt
you’re the one
who keeps me sane and I can’t complain
can’t complain
you’re like a drug you relieve my pain
may seem strange
you’re like the love flowin through my veins
ooh ooh ooh
keeps me alive and feedin my brain
ooh ooh ooh
now this is how another human life
another life
could have the power to take over mine
cause you’re my

Baby baby baby baby baby
baby I love you
baby baby baby baby baby
I love it when I hear your name
got me sayin
baby baby baby baby baby
baby I love you
baby baby baby baby baby

Baby baby baby baby baby
baby I love you
baby baby baby baby baby
I love it when I hear your name
got me sayin
baby baby baby baby baby
baby I love you
baby baby baby baby baby
