BABY vs SWEET BABY

2 GREAT songs...do u have a preference?


Baby

Baby, what are we gonna do?
I'm so in love with you (doo-wah)
Baby, what are we gonna do?
I know you're in love with me to (doo-wah)
Should we go on living together?
Or should we get married right away?
Whatever you decide,
I'll still love you, baby
And we'll grow stronger everyday
Baby, what are we gonna do?
I barely have enough money for 2
Baby, what are we gonna do?
I don't want to regret what I've done to you
I never would've thought that this would happen
To a very careful man like me
But baby, pretty baby, we're gonna work it out, yeah
I love you... I love you, can't you see?

Baby, baby, baby
It's you, 'said it's you that I truly adore
Ooo, baby, baby (baby, baby)
Ooo, baby, babe...
I hope our baby has eyes just like yours (just like yours)




Sweet Baby

Close your eyes, sweet baby
Now don't u cry
Everybody gets their heart broke
Sweet baby, sometime
So he left u for another fool
Yes, a fool
4 lovin' him from the start
Ask yourself what's more important
Him or the broken pieces of your heart sweet baby
Stand tall, (tall)
Sweet baby, (baby)
Don't u fall
U ain't the only one gettin' beat down
It happens 2 us all
The road u chose 2 walk in this life (the road u choose 2 walk in this life)

Is one that leads into the next
So sweet baby, stand tall (sweet baby, stand tall)
stand tall (sweet baby)
Sweet baby, hold your tears back now
Better days gonna come your way soon, oh yeah sweet baby
Someway, somehow

(sweet baby)

Sweet baby

Walk faster, sweet baby
Don't let those bad boys catch u now
Those things that they will have u do
U been done known better, oh, and how
How can u sleep knowing that u and a fool
Sing in the same key
Walk faster sweet baby (walk faster)
Strive 2 be the very best that u can be (strive) (sweet baby)
Sweet baby
Oh, sweet baby

Sweet baby, hold your tears back now
Better days gonna come your way soon
Oh yeah, sweet baby, someway, somehow

(sweet baby)
Sweet baby

Better days gonna come your way, yeah

Sweet baby

Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Sweet Baby wins for me. I don't think it's a great song but it's pleasant enough. Baby's just plain boring to me.

I like 'Sweet Baby' and think it's a pretty song but 'Baby' has some real emotion to it that gives it the edge.

'Baby', for me.

Sweet Baby

There's a part in "Baby" that actually reminds me of a three note motif in "Eye Hate U". Not a bad song, but a tad cheesy.

Sweet Baby by a landslide. Baby is pretty bad, in my opinion- nothing against Prince, but I don't think he was mature enough yet.

I always thought of baby as some sort of an early version of Adore. It even has 1 the same line and melody (I truly adore you).

I agree with you...that boy was SANGIN' on BABY! music
Although, I like SWEET BABY alot...boxed

I'm surprised so many of you don't like one or the other.
I think their both classic songs.

Sweet Baby is one of my all time fav Prince ballads, so Baby will lose this competition, I'm afraid.

I've always like BABY.

I really liked SWEET BABY also.

Then I heard parts of the SWEET BABY live on one of the tours and it blew me away. Just Prince and the piano and strong vocals. Man that was good and it was not even the full song.

Sweet Baby, but Baby is close behind it. But lyricaly, they r completley different songs, so u cant compare them IMO, but seen as how it is a question asked, Sweet Baby.


When all in life gets u down, dont look 2 your friends for help, look to the one that u know will help you.....Jim Beam.
