Baby Im Scared of You by Womack & Womack (2024)

Verse 1:
Come, if you got real love for me
Stay away, if got games and tricks for me

Bridge 1:
I want to man that means everything he say
And not a boy full of play
Pulling rabbits out of his hat everyday

Oh, Baby I'm scared of you

Chorus:
I… I don‘t believe in magic (magic)
I believe in love everlasting
I can‘t understand that

Verse 2:
Houdini, Houdini, was great magician
He could crack a lock, oh yes he could
from any position

Bridge 2:
But my heart, is nothing like those locks
And your falling last of my brand of stock
Like little red riding hood, you‘re the fox
Oh baby I'm scared of you

Chorus:
I… I don't believe in magic
I believe (I believe) in love ever lasting

Oh, Oh, Oh. . . (3 x)

Chorus:
I… I don't believe in magic
I believe (I believe) in love ever lasting

Bridge 3 :
Don't go pulling no rabbits out your hat
It'll be all I want from that
Baby now I can't go for that

I can't understand that baby (naw naw)
I can't understand that baby

Duet :
W: You ain't no Houdini
M: Ah, I know I ain't

Pull flowers out my sleeve

The lyrics to Womack & Womack's "Baby I'm Scared of You" center around the singer's fears and reservations about falling in love with someone who might not truly mean what they say or could be playing games. The singer sets her expectations high, expressing a desire for a man who is honest and not full of tricks. The song is filled with references to magic, such as the metaphor of the magician and the rabbit in a hat, and the idea of love as something that lasts beyond fleeting magic tricks. The overall sentiment is one of seeking genuine connection and trust in a world where deception can be all too common.

The lyrics are paired with a seductive and soulful melody that builds in intensity and power throughout the song. The lush instrumentation includes prominent bass and percussion, alongside layers of keyboard and guitar. The repeating chorus of "I don't believe in magic, I believe in love everlasting" is both a statement of defiance against illusions and a hopeful affirmation of the singer's desire for lasting love.

Come, if you got real love for me
If you truly love me, you can come to me.

Stay away, if got games and tricks for me
If you have games and tricks to play, I don't want you near me.

I want to man that means everything he say
I want a man who is honest and sincere in his words.

And not a boy full of play
I don't want a boy who plays games.

Pulling rabbits out of his hat everyday
I don't want someone who is always trying to impress or deceive me.

Oh, Baby I'm scared of you
I'm afraid of getting hurt or deceived by you.

I… I don‘t believe in magic (magic)
I don't believe in anything that seems too good to be true.

I believe in love everlasting
I believe in love that is genuine and true and stands the test of time.

I can‘t understand that
I don't understand why people try to deceive others with magic and tricks.

Houdini, Houdini, was great magician
Houdini was a famous magician known for his tricks and illusions.

He could crack a lock, oh yes he could from any position
Houdini was an expert in picking locks and could do it from any angle.

But my heart, is nothing like those locks
My heart is not something that can be easily manipulated like a lock.

And your falling last of my brand of stock
You don't meet the standards of the kind of man I am looking for.

Like little red riding hood, you‘re the fox
You are like the fox in the story of Little Red Riding Hood who always tries to deceive others.

Don't go pulling no rabbits out your hat
I don't want you to try to impress me with magic tricks.

It'll be all I want from that
I'm not interested in your magic tricks, I just want your genuine love and affection.

Baby now I can't go for that
I'm not putting up with your games and tricks anymore.

You ain't no Houdini
You are not as clever as Houdini when it comes to deception.

I can't understand that baby
I don't understand why you feel the need to deceive me.

Like Rudolph Valentino, I can fall down on my knees
Like Rudolph Valentino, I can be romantic and passionate when I need to be.

Pull flowers out my sleeve
I can do sweet and romantic gestures to express my love to you instead of using magic.

Because I know you will be pleased,I wonder
I want to make you happy and I wonder how I can do that without magic or deception.

Look, I can pull flowers out my hat
I don't need to use magic tricks to impress you, I can do sweet gestures like pulling flowers out of a hat.

Do a disappearing act
I don't need to deceive you with magic and can instead just do something like suddenly disappearing as a romantic gesture.

Come back on you so strong
When I return, I will come back even stronger and more passionate in my love for you.

Girl I really turn your loving on,I wonder
I'm wondering how I can please you and turn on your love while being honest and genuine.

I need a man
I want a mature, genuine man to love and respect me.

Mean everything he say
I want a man whose words are true and sincere.

Don't need a boy full of games and tricks everyday
I don't need a man who plays games or tries to deceive me with tricks and illusions on a daily basis.

Baby let me groove ya
Let me show you a genuine and honest love.

Baby let me soothe ya
Let me comfort and make you feel loved.

Baby let me hold ya
Let me show you affection and hold you in my arms.

Gonna want to control ya
I want to be with you and care for you in a genuine way, not manipulate or deceive you with tricks.

Baby what you want
What can I do to make you feel loved and cared for?

Baby what ya need
What do you need in our relationship to feel happy and fulfilled?

Girl I can't stand this
I can't stand being in a relationship with someone who tries to manipulate and deceive me.

Going on by my way
I'm going to leave if you don't show me a genuine and sincere love.

I can't do nothing for you no more
I can't be with you if you don't treat me with love and respect.
