[Verse 1]
Baby, I got love for thee so deep inside of me
I don't know where to start
Yeah, yeah
I love you more than anything
But the words can't even touch what's in my heart
No, no

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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 (oh-woah, oh-woah), baby

[Chorus]
(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 (oh-woah, oh-woah)

[Verse 2]
Baby, I'm so down for you
No matter what you do (real talk), I'll be around
Yeah, yeah
Ooh, baby
Baby, I been feeling you before I even knew what feelings were about
Oh, baby

[Pre-Chorus 2]
When I try to explain it, I be sounding all crazy
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 (oh-woah, oh-woah), baby

[Chorus]
(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 (oh-woah, oh-woah)
(Baby, baby) Ooh-woah

[Bridge]
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 the word “love” can say, yeah
It's better not explaining
That's why I keep saying

[Chorus]
(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 (oh-woah, oh-woah)
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
Every time I try to say it words, they only complicate it
Every time I try to say it words, they only complicate it
Baby, baby (oh-woah, oh-woah)
Baby, baby

Ariana Grande (born Grande-Butera on June 26, 1993) is an actress and a pop vocalist from Boca-Raton, Florida. She had performed in many plays as a child but didn’t make a significant dent in her dream to become an R&B star until being cast as a cheerleader in the Broadway musical 13, earning a National Youth Theatre Association Award for her performance.

Soon after, she was able to land a role in the Nickelodeon hit TV series, Victorious, which propelled her to become a teen idol as her on-screen character seemed to be “very impressionable and easily swayed” but “generally sweet.” From this point on, she was able to garner the fan base that allowed her to create tracks that worked only towards the promotion of the show, like “Put Your Hearts Up.”

She would have to wait until August 2012 to see the cancellation of Victorious, which allowed Grande to finally make music her priority. With her life now revolving entirely around this passion, she was able to release her debut album, Yours the result of a three-year endeavor. She completed the album, initially titled Daydreamin, in June 2013; it was released on August 19, 2013. In September 2013, it debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart, with 138,000 copies sold in its first week, making Grande the first female artist since Ke$ha to have her first album debut atop the charts.
