Story Behind the Song
My daughter, DeCynthia, inspired me to write this song. "BABY GIRL", is about a mother who reflects back on her daughter's life. It's about a mother's love for her little girl, about wanting her to grow-up safe in a cruel world.
"BABY GIRL" was written while sitting at home, talking with my daughter.
It only took me about two days to write this song and about a week to record it. It took several takes. I didn't count the takes!
Lyrics
I look back to nine years-ago......
I remember the day, that she was born....
She was such a beautiful babygirl, she changed my life, she changed my world....
When I held her in my arms, I held her like a precious charm, "Please don't be alarmed!"
Mama's little baby girl, you look so precious in your curls, oooh weee! my baby girl.......
Mama's little baby girl, you changed my life you changed my world, I thank God for my baby girl......
Look at you now you're a big girl...
You're growing up fast, in this cruel world..
You have got to learn to be weary, not everyone will be your friend....
Listen to what mama says, cause she wants you to be the best, ooooh, she won't settle for less, cause....
Mama's little baby girl, you look so precious in your curls....ooooh weee! my baby girl.....
Mama's little baby girl, she changed my life, she changed my world, I thank GOD for my baby girl....
You're looking pretty as can be, I'm so glad that you're with me, yeah.........
Now don't think that you are grown cause, then you will see........yeah!!!!!!
Dee: Mom! I'm not a baby anymore!
Mom: Sweetheart you will always be my baby girl, no matter what!
Dee: Even when I get real big?
Mom: Yes Dee, even when you get real big!
Dee: Ok! If you say so!
Mom: That's right, that's my baby girl!
