Baby You're My Whole World

This is an older song that I've been working on for a while, but never got around to recording. I've included both my original recording that I posted to Suno, as well as the demo that Suno created from the recording.

"BABY YOU'RE MY WHOLE WORLD" by Alex_Schmalex

VERSE 1:

All my life,

lookin' for you girl,

my "dream come true," girl,

and I thank God I found you.

VERSE 2:

'Cause girl believe,

you got magic that ignites a fire in me,

just thinkin' how our lives would be

if I'd found you sooner.

CHORUS 1:

'Cause baby, you're my whole world,

my once-in-a-lifetime girl,

and I don't know how I

ever got by without you.

And lah-dih-dah-dah-dah...

the music your life inspires in me...

it fills me with such songs to sing...

just to tell you I love you.

VERSE 3:

And oh, my, mind,

is places my words cannot describe...

just so addicted to your light...

'cause baby I need you.

CHORUS 2:

'Cause baby, you're my whole world,

my once-in-a-lifetime girl,

and I don't know how I

ever got by without you.

And lah-dih-dah-dah-dah...

the music your life inspires in me...

it fills me with such songs to sing...

just to tell you I love you.

BRIDGE:

I'm singin'

lah-dah-dah-dah. Lah-dah-dah. Lah-dah-dah...

Lah-dah-dah-dah. Lah-dah-dah. Lah-dah-dah...

Lah-dah-dah-dah. Lah-dah-dah. Lah-dah-dah...

Lah-dah-dah-dah... Lah-dah-dah. Lah-dah- and

right from the start there was something

special 'bout the way that you

opened up your heart to me,

and I never felt one second of doubt

since that moment you leaned in close...

and when you kissed me?

Oh you made me believe...

that love wasn't some myth in all the stories.

It happened for me...

VERSE 4:

And girl oh-oh can't you see?

The power of your love is so divine...

just gotta tell you one more time...

that baby I love you.

CHORUS 3:

'Cause baby, you're my whole world,

my once-in-a-lifetime girl,

and I don't know how I

ever got by without you.

And lah-dih-dah-dah-dah...

the music your life inspires in me...

it fills me with such songs to sing...

just to tell you I love you.

OUTRO:

'Cause baby, you're my whole world,

my once-in-a-lifetime girl,

and I don't know how I

ever got by without you.

    only critique I got is lose the Lah-dah-dah-dah... Lah-dah-dah. Lah-dah- and

    Cuz your doing the same thing is the other song


    Sounds good man , Yeah man, if we found them sooner we would not be in a trailer , or whatever unfortunate circumstances were in being single . Looking for love in a massage parlor , you so handsome , that'll be 150 bucks handsome , Next !!!!!

  • Hey there... This is really good. Has a positive vibe!

    Good stuff!

    Thanks Elvis. I'm not too worried about any similarities between the two songs as they really are pretty different vibes, but the Lah-dah-dah part is probably more essential in "DRINK WITH ME" than this one, as it is more of sing-a-long part in that one, while here it is is mostly trying to suggest a need to write love songs for your partner despite not having the words yet.

  • I kind of like the lah-dah-dah-dah part - I might shorten it as once you sing it once you get the idea - maybe fade the lah-dah's into an instrumental doing that melody

    Assuming we're all talking about the bridge part, yeah, I'll have to sit with that part some more. I think the goal was to ultimately have that be more of a multiple-harmony part that develops over the bridge, but there could be lyrics that would work better as more of a musical round type thing.

    If we're talking about the one line in the chorus "And lah-dih-dah-dah-dah..." I do like that as is, but something like "And oh, sweet melodies..." could work just as well.

  • Wow those are a lot. lah-dih-dah-dah-dah..., I agree with elvis, not because they are in the other song, it detracts from the sincerity of the message

    Nice vibe, good up beat happy melody. its nice.

    i should try doing a love song, but i feel like a cheesy dope. 😆

    one idea if you wanted to try on the bridge :

    cut out all the filler and go right to this =

    I'm singin', 'bout the way you....

    a thought to consider = perhaps see how it would sound by moving verse 4 to the outro - maybe sound good to end on "I love you"

  • Stop pay em , see if she's your baby

    LOL, my wife and I keep independent finances, so all I have to offer her are my songs...

    Thanks. Good things to consider. I remember trying to write poetry when I was younger, and it always sounded corny, but maybe it was the right amount of corny for pop songs.

  • Nice upbeat vibe and music. And a good match between lyric and music too.

    I'd lose the la di dahs both in the chorus and the bridge if it were me. Not because I think they're bad, just a lost opportunity to say something more meaningful.

    I like the lyric in the bridge in particular.

    Can't think of anyone who wouldn't want to have this written for them.

    Thanks @RainyDayMan I've updated the chorus for now to the following:

    'Cause baby, you're my whole world,

    my once-in-a-lifetime girl,

    and I don't know how I

    ever got by without you.

    And oh, sweet melody...

    the music your life inspires in me...

    fills me with such songs to sing...

    just to tell you I love you.


    I'm still back and forth on the bridge for now as my guitar teacher is pretty big fan of it, as it's really meant as more of a vocalization / harmonization moment, but it is something that could definitely be cut for time if needed.
