I was made to love her, been working at it Half of my life, I’ve been an addict And she’s been good to me Far as I can tell she’s happy, livin’ with her Macky So please don’t take my love away Let my baby stay, let my baby stay Please don’t take my love away Let my baby stay, let my baby stay And where would I be, feeling lonely Separated from my one and only And what’s there left to say Far as I can tell that day could be on its way So please don’t take my love away Let my baby stay, let my baby stay Please don’t take my love away Let my baby stay, let my baby stay
"i was made to love her, been working at it. half of my life, i've been an addict. and she's been good to me." this song in particular really gets me everytime. 5 years ago i met the love of my life. it started off as a simple, short-lived conversation and the rest was history. couple years back i had a rough history with meth and i would constantly lash out on everyone. i've made irrational choices and i don't really blame my girl for leaving me back then - it had to be done and i had to get better. so i went to rehab, opened myself to God and began to forgive myself for my shortcomings. at the end of the day we're all human, we mess up and make mistakes. and although i haven't really forgiven myself completely just yet, i make up through the good deeds i do today, it's cool to be kind and it costs nothing to put a little heart on everything you do. all i did was close my eyes, take a deep breath and let fate do the rest. november of the year 2021, we started talking again. on that month i finally managed to recollect myself, to finally have the guts and apologize for all the things i've done that had affected her in so many levels. that girl took beatings in my name, earned a silent treatment from her mother and was frowned upon for months, i felt so terrible about myself because i know that it should have been me taking all of that. but with that said, by the time of writing this, we're back together and i do my best to become better each day. i compensate every single day, promising her and myself that everything that has happened before will never happen again- that no matter how far i get pushed to the edge, i wouldn't retaliate, but rather make her feel loved and appreciated. God, i love her. this song brought so much memories in my life that are so hard to put to words; i was an addict and she's been good to me despite all of that. i was made to love her, and loving her is all that i'm gonna do no matter what. i love her, so much -- i just do. God, i love her so much. if you're reading this, always remember that i will love you even when the world tells me not to. you will always have me. and forgive me for breaking the rules of life and fate itself, but i adore you so. only death can stop me from loving you, and i hope you don't think ill of me when i say that. you'll always have me. always 🌙
Kylie Bentley She doesn't capture the same emotion at all! Marco's version is very dull compared to her cover. There is a reason why it has been such a popular target of covers.
This song really hits me. But your cover really captures the emotions within it. I'm going through a very hard point in my life right now and my girlfriend is fighting leukemia for the second time and we don't know how much longer she has. The lyrics "let my baby stay" capture my exact thoughts hoping she'll be alright and that she'll be able to stay alive. I know the actual song has a different purpose but my life has given it another meaning. Listening to this makes me feel like I'm being comforted over all the unfairness the world offers, even though I know that may not have been the intent of the cover or the song I felt like for once I was understood. Even as weird as that sounds I really appreciate that you made this cover and I listen to it all the time to help me out.
+Joyner Cruz - hope you see this because i can't reply to your youtube comment but thanks! i record the audio just using the mic on my earphones into garageband; from there i clean up the sound to the best of my ability and then export the track and overlay it on top of the video :-)
This started playing while I was burying my dog and I just couldn't help falling into tears. I miss her more than anything else in this world, she's been gone for a month now.
I used to walk my train station on spring nights with this song in my head, and that girl on my mind. That love, as untrue and unrequited as it was, for those few years, was my life. But now, as with all things in this life, I can only look back and remember with a kind eye. Let my baby go.
on guitar, the easiest way would be E-2 B-3 G-2 D-0 A-2 E-X Playing the high E string is optional, the chord doesnt need a fifth to serve its function but you can do it if you think it sounds good.
I played this when burying my little dog, she was there with me during my depression and got sick but didn't make it, I always tear when hearing that "Let my baby stay" with your sweet angel voice, thank you for your rendition
most covers i see on youtube are auto tuned as fuck with some fancy arse background amazing mic amazing camera but seeing stuff like this is just amazing
Can someone please help me, I'm so confused by the chords because when I search up Bm7 AND Bm6 I get different results and finger positions. Plus I can't find the sheet music to play it. I really like this song and I really just want to play it on my ukulele
I've married this moment. Listening to your voice tonight made me feel sad and happy at the same time, so thanks for that. Hope you keep singing and sharing love through music.
This was the reason I finally picked up my guitar and decided to dedicate my time to learning, such a beautiful rendition I felt I had to at least try and replicate it. In the hopes I could make myself feel how this makes me feel.
More people should be exposed to this amazing girl, it’s not often you find someone with that kind of passion. I hope she finds happiness wherever her life takes her
Quando eu ouvi a primeira vez eu tinha 15 anos e o vídeo não tinha tudo isso de curtida, vim ouvir atualmente com 20 e eu tô chocada com a repercussão...
Vindo em 2024 relembrar desse cover, chorei muito com o final do meu primeiro namoro e primeiro amor, em 2016. Hoje em dia guardo com uma certa nostalgia inocente todos os sentimentos que tive enquanto ouvia essa no auge da adolescência, tempos mais simples..
Hey. I think it's like the 100th time I'm watching this video. Everytime I don't feel that good, I come to listen to your wonderful song. Love it, thanks.
I heard this cover for the first time a long, long time ago. Life changed and with it my musical tastes, But the love I have for that woman who owns my life more than I own her is still the same. For some reason I remembered this song and wanted to come and listen to this cover like a few years ago
cuando tenia 11 años veía demasiado tu video y hasta la fecha me sigue gustando tu voz, en especial ese cover que hiciste de mac demarco . podría decirte que tú fuiste mi inspiración para empezar a tocar el ukulele💘💘
I don't much care for the original edit, but the second I heard this voice, I was overwhelmed with emotion and burst into tears. Thank you, I'm dating someone who's overcoming addictions and everyday I wonder if I should stay. Thank you
