Babyface or Baby Face can refer to:
"Babyface" is a song by U2 and the second track from their 1993 album Zooropa.
"It's about how people play with images, believing you know somebody through an image and think that by manipulating a machine that, in fact, controls you, you can have some kind of power."
"Babyface" was written by Bono during the Zooropa recording sessions in late 1992/early 1993. The song contains themes of desire, voyeurism, image, celebrity and technology. It involves a man having an obsession with a famous woman, whose image he keeps on a televised recording. Through the course of production, U2 and producer Brian Eno incorporated a toy piano into the melody of the song. The Edge sings the vocals with Bono during the verses and chorus.
"Babyface" received mixed reviews from critics. The New York Times critic Jon Pareles described the song as U2 combining "'With or Without You' and Bowie's 'Ashes to Ashes'" while praising the "tinkling countermelody" of the song.The Boston Globe's Jim Sullivan called it "the most conventional song" on the album and "a smooth-glider where the subversiveness is half-buried in the rolling rhythms and the soft, seductive melody." In contrast, Parry Gettelman of Orlando Sentinel felt the song was "tediously repetitive" and caused the album to falter.
Babyface (born Kenneth Brian Edmonds; April 10, 1959) is an American R&B musician, singer-songwriter, and record producer. He has written and produced over 26 No. 1 R&B hits throughout his career, and has won 11 Grammy Awards.
Edmonds was born on April 10, 1959, in Indianapolis, Indiana, to Marvin and Barbara Edmonds. Barbara was a production operator at a pharmaceutical plant. Edmonds, who is the fifth of six brothers (including future After 7 band members Melvin and Kevon Edmonds, the latter of whom went on to have a modestly successful solo career), attended North Central High School in Indianapolis, Indiana, and as a shy youth, wrote songs to express his emotions. When he was in eighth grade, Edmonds' father died of lung cancer, leaving his mother to raise her sons alone. At this stage, Edmonds became determined to have a career in music.
Edmonds later played with funk performer Bootsy Collins, who tagged him "Babyface" because of his youthful look. He also performed in the group Manchild (which had a 1976 hit "Especially for You" with band member Daryl Simmons), as he was a guitarist for the band. Then, as a keyboardist in the light-funk and R&B group the Deele (which also included drummer Antonio "L.A." Reid, with whom he would later form a successful writing and producing partnership). One of his first major credits as a songwriter for outside artists came when he wrote the tune "Slow Jam" for the R&B band Midnight Star in 1983. The tune was on Midnight Star's double-platinum No Parking on the Dance Floor album, and while it never was a single, it received massive radio airplay and the song is still played on quiet storm radio stations. Babyface remained in the Deele until 1988, when both he and Reid left the group.

Babyface or Baby Face can refer to:
All alone sad and brokenhearted
Didn't have no peace within
Thought that I would feel this way forever
Oh, but darlin' you brought the heaven back again
Sun didn't shine, it just kept on raining
So I thought my life was over
But you brought the rainbow at the end of the storm
And if I had to do it all over again
I'd start my life with you, oh baby
You got the love I want (you're my heaven)
And I know that you got the love I want (you're my angel)
You got the love I want (can't stop thinkin' about you, baby)
Long as I live my life
I want to live my life for you
I must confess, girl, I love you, baby
Although at times I try not to show it
But you got that way of always makin' me say
Here I go, I'm givin' in again
Sometimes, I just sit down and watch you, baby
What did I ever do to deserve you
You don't ever have to worry 'bout
What another girl may say or do
'Cause I've searched and I've searched girl, my whole life through
And none of them compare to you, no baby
HOOK
I can't stop thinkin' 'bout you, baby
You occupy each moment of the day
Me for you, you for me
That's the way it's supposed to be, baby
Shout it from a mountain
'Cause I want the world to know that
You got the love I want
You got the love I want (you're my angel)
You got the love I want (nobody else will do)
Long as I live my life
I want to live my life for you
You touch my heart, baby
I never thought that I could find
Somebody like you, baby
You're so sweet, you're so kind
I swear nobody loves me like you do
And honey as long as I live
I want to live my life for you
You got the love I want (got my soul, don't 'cha know)
You got the love I want (you must have been sent from above)
You got the love I want (hey baby, oh girl)
