Baby, don’t you cry
Baby, I’ll sing you a lullabye

We’re walking down the
Street of chance
Where the chance is always
Slim or none
And the intentions unjust

Baby there’s nothing to see
I’ve already been
Down the street of chance

Baby you’re so clean
Baby please stay clean
Baby you’re so young
Baby please stay young
Baby, don’t you cry
Baby, we’ve already cried

About Lyrics and Baby by Iggy Pop

The lyrics for Baby are defined as the words making up the song released by Iggy Pop in 1976. It also includes the verses and words used by the background chorus in the song. Like many hit songs, the lyrics to Baby have different meanings to different people. While it is clear in some of the lyrics what the artist is trying to really say, only Iggy Pop and those working with them know all of the meanings behind all of the lyrics to their songs.

Some folks are interested in word and phrase etymology. It is easy to understand the lyrics to Baby by Iggy Pop if you think through it. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Baby" means the words set to the music of Baby, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Iggy Pop. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Baby and the lyrics to Baby are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Iggy Pop who came here looking just for the lyrics to Baby, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
