Baby Lyrics

[Produced by The-Dream and Tricky Stewart]

[Intro: Justin Bieber]
Oh, woah
Oh, woah
Oh, woah

[Verse 1: Justin Bieber & Ludacris]
You know you love me (Yo), I know you care (Uh-huh)
Just shout whenever (Yo), and I'll be there (Uh-huh)
You are my love (Yo), you are my heart (Uh-huh)
And we will never, ever, ever be apart (Yo, uh-huh)

Are we an item? (Yo) Girl, quit playin' (Uh-huh)
We're just friends (Yo), what are you sayin'? (Uh-huh)
Said, "There's another" (Yo), and looked right in my eyes (Uh-huh)
My first love broke my heart for the first time, and I was like (Yo, uh-huh)

[Chorus: Justin Bieber]
Baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine
Baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine
[Verse 2: Justin Bieber & Ludacris]
Oh, for you, I would've done whatever (Uh-huh)
And I just can't believe we ain't together (Yo, uh-huh)
And I wanna play it cool (Yo), but I'm losin' you (Uh-huh)
I'll buy you anything (Yo), I'll buy you any ring (Uh-huh)
And I'm in pieces (Yo), baby, fix me (Uh-huh)
And just shake me till you wake me from this bad dream (Yo, uh-huh)
I'm goin' down (Yo), down, down, down (Uh-huh)
And I just can't believe my first love won't be around, and I'm like

[Chorus: Justin Bieber & Ludacris]
Baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine
Baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine (Luda!)

[Verse 3: Ludacris]
When I was thirteen, I had my first love
There was nobody that compared to my baby, and nobody came between us nor could ever come above
She had me goin' crazy, oh, I was starstruck
She woke me up daily, don't need no Starbucks (Woo)
She made my heart pound, and skip a beat when I see her in the street and
At school on the playground, but I really wanna see her on the weekend
She knows she got me dazing 'cause she was so amazing
And now my heart is breakin', but I just keep on sayin'
[Chorus: Justin Bieber]
Baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine
Baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine

[Outro: Justin Bieber]
I'm gone (Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Now I'm all gone (Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Now I'm all gone (Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Now I'm all gone (Gone, gone, gone, gone), I'm gone

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
