It’s clear that most people are reading too much into the lyrics, diving deep into the song’s many layers of complex metaphors.
This is unnecessary, because the true meaning is there, in plain sight, for everyone to see.
”Baby, don’t hurt me, no more”
Clearly, this is the moaning of a frustrated parent (Haddaway?) who can no longer stand the antics of their little one.
” I don't know why you're not fair, I give you my love, but you don't care”
The grownup is expressing their dissatisfaction with the fact that they keep on giving, but the toddler isn’t really giving much back.
” I know we're one, just me and you. I can't go on..”
Of course, the parent knows that the baby is his flesh and blood... but why can it not be nicer to him?
” I want no other, no other lover”
The end of the song takes a much darker turn, where the singer gravitates towards highly forbidden thoughts. It surprises me that Haddaway would even insert such lyrics in a commercial song about a toddler, but nobody can say he is not a brave artist.
