Oh baby, why don’t you come home?
Oh baby, don’t you leave me alone
Oh baby, been away for far too long

When you get home, gonna sing you this song
They’re gonna know ‘cos you’ve treating me wrong
Oh baby, been away for far too long

Oh baby, why don’t you come home?
Oh baby, don’t you leave me alone
Oh baby, been away for far too long

When you get home, gonna sing you this song
They’re gonna know ‘cos you’ve treating me wrong
Oh baby, been away for far too long

Some of the lyrics to Oh Baby have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Status Quo and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to Oh Baby if you take apart the structure of the words. 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 Oh Baby" means the words set to the music of Oh Baby, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Status Quo. 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 Oh Baby and the lyrics to Oh Baby are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Status Quo who came here looking just for the lyrics to Oh Baby, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
