"Baby" - C/D?

(ie being an arse/being funny).

Oh and *thwaps Jim for lame madison ave joke and fact said song is now jammed in my noggin*

*whew*

You and me, we have an opportunity
And we could make it something really cool
But you, you think I'm not that kind of girl
I'm here to tell you baby, I know how to rock your world

Don't think that I'm not strong
I'm the one to take you on
Don't underestimate me boy
I'll make you sorry you were born
You don't know me
The way you really should
You sure misunderstood

Dont' call me baby
You got some nerve, and baby that'll never do
You know I don't belong t o you
It's time you knew I'm not your baby
I belong to me, so
Don't call me baby

Behind my smile is my IQ
I must admit, this does not sit, with the likes of you
You're really sweet
Mmm, you're really nice
But didn't mama ever tell you not to play with fire?

FEMALE
Chalta hai kahan zor zor dil pe baba, o baba
Hota hai yahan shor shor dil mein baba, o baba
Ho, chalta hai kahan zor zor dil pe baba, o baba
Hota hai yahan shor shor dil mein baba, o baba
Nazrein chala lega, dil ko bacha lega
Aisa nahin hoga, na na na na

CHORUS
Ta nanana nanana nanana, ta nanana nanana nanana - 2

FEMALE
Gore gore gaal yeh gore daal rahe hain tujhpe dore - 2
Zulfon ke yeh chaand sunehre, tujhpe nazron ke yeh pehre
Tu kaise jaayega, khud ko bachaayega
Aisa nahin hoga, na na na na

CHORUS
Baby baby baby dil deewana, baby baby baby dil deewana - 2
Have some fun baby, ae ae ae ae baby - 2

FEMALE
Bigadi hai taqdeer bana le, hejabaazi daao laga le - 2
Baat bategi maan le meri, is baazi mein jeet hai teri
Tu kya samajhta hai ke haar jaayega
Aisa nahin hoga, na na na na

CHORUS
Baby baby baby dil deewana, baby baby baby dil deewana - 2

FEMALE
Chalta hai kahan zor zor dil pe baba, o baba
Hota hai yahan shor shor dil mein baba, o baba
Nazrein chala lega, dil ko bacha lega
Aisa nahin hoga, na na na na

Ta nanana nanana nanana, ta nanana nanana nanana - 4

This comment and the one about toraneko's Italian boyfriend is inneresting to me... Are there specific accents and/or voices allowed to get away with calling someone "Baby" more than others? If so, why? Which ones can and can't?

In my current relationship (and all those preceding if I recall correctly), I'm not called nor do I call my girlfriend "Baby."

I have a slight Southern accent that comes out when I'm in the south (where I grew up). I don't hear it so much, and compared to most of the locals, I don't have one, but Jen's from Boston, and she apparently hears it and has commented that she likes the way it sounds when I call her "Darling," which is pretty much the only "cliche" name I call her fairly often. I'd not thought of my accent at all in that context before she mentioned it. (Like I said, I don't really hear it, though I know it's more pronounced when I'm tired or drunk than other times.)

Also...

Juliana Hatfield said way back when that she called her first solo record Hey Babe because "it’s like the rock thing, Lou Reed and J. Mascis always say it. I just wanted to be part of the rock tradition."

But there's a B-Side on the For the Birds EP called "Hello My Name is Baby" which is essentially a rant against being called "Baby" from someone who declares in the chorus "Baby's not my name" (in spite of the counterintuitive title of the song).

So, question two: Are there other differences between "Babe" and "Baby?" Is "Babe" rock and "Baby" pop?

rock on martin. "fall down baby i'll pick you up x2, call me baby i'll cut your grass (?!?!) you're so crazy, but kiss my ass" - hehe is that right? don't call her baby or she'll sell you a nickel bag of oregano?

plus piano version of got no idols woohaa

one of the reasons i think juliana is good at rock music is she knows how to say things like 'baby' and 'yeah' correctly

That Girl, you come from a Latino family? Or has the culture so pervaded the state of Texas that now everyone's calling their daughters "mi'ja"?

When I think of someone calling their girlfriend/boyfriend "baby", I think of someone slightly suspect, i.e. they're either going to be the clingiest people on Earth or they have a weird child fetish that inches toward the land of pedophilia or they're just huge sleazoids. I kinda like Ling ("Ally McBeal" character) Woo's approach to nicknames in relationships, in that I don't mind having a nickname that comes from a food name. I would welcome being called "honey", "snickerdoodle", "pumpkin", "cupcake", or any of the other relationship-connected food nicknames you could think of.

(Yeah, yeah. Weird me again. *grin*)

Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'
Baby, I'm grievin'
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breakin' my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you a sad girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Chorus

Baby, I love you
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Chorus

Nowadays I call *everyone* sweetie, honey, baby. . .I hope they don't mind.
