Baby Boy Lyrics

[Verse 1: Kevin Abstract]
Every time I find myself, I feel so lost
And every truth that I discover feels so false
And every mountain that I climb that seemed so tall
It only felt that way 'cause the valley was so small
Excuse me while I cry

[Chorus: Ryan Beatty]
At this point you're pretty much out of my mind
But when I close my eyes, I think about you every time
At this point you're pretty much out of my mind
But when I close my eyes, I think about you every time

[Verse 2: Kevin Abstract]
Spent my days alone, when God left me all alone
He's all I got, he's all I got
I should let him know how much I need him now
He's all I got, he's all I got

[Bridge: Kevin Abstract]
Somethin' is missin' now
I need to find the right way to your house
Headlights pointed at the dawn, dawn
Stuck in the moshpit, lost in the crowd
Somethin' is missin' now
I need to find the right way to your house
Headlights pointed at the dawn, dawn
Stuck in the moshpit, lost in the crowd
[Chorus: Ryan Beatty]
At this point, you're pretty much out of my mind
But when I close my eyes I think about you every time
At this point, you're pretty much out of my mind
But when I close my eyes I think about you every time

[Outro: Ryan Beatty]
Tell me if I'm in the wrong here
You know we belong here
You know that I'm sincere, always (Always)
Why am I outside your hotel?
I'd rather you hold me, that's what you told me
Trying, trying, trying (Ooh)
Trying, trying, trying

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 [?]
