@DylanLacey 　probably "shouga naindayo baby" しょうがないんだよbaby in japanse, the ward of "baby" is already English Japanese, coz that it's same meaning,


"しょうがない"(=　仕方がない of Japanese for dictionary )　means nobody have any solution. or i don't know how to care for it,,,,, something like that,

B.B.QUEENS "しょげないでよBABY (shogenaideyo, Baby)", 1991.
しょげる(be disheartened)+ないで(Don't)+よ(please) ≒Don't be disheartened, Baby.

Although "しょげる（悄気る）" is not a very common word, it became popular as a youth word around the 1980s. It is also written mainly in hiragana, as the kanji is not a regular kanji.

There was a "band boom" in Japan at the end of the 1980s. And many youth music bands were formed.
"shogenaideyo, Baby" is similar in wording to "shake(shakin') it up, Baby" and is intended as a reference to youth music culture and a play on words. The singer also sings with John Lennon in mind.

The lyrics suggest that "Baby" is referring to his mother, not the child.
A boy of about 3-5 years old sees his mother depressed. And he calls out to her with innocence just wanting her to "cheer up, mom" without any concern for adult circumstances.
It is common all over the world to be encouraged by the kindness and strength that children sometimes show.
