Funny you should ask.  Calling someone "baby" a couple of hundred times
in the course of a song in which you also tell them "you know you're
a waste of time for me" is *far* from sincere, in my book.  (This is
from the Wilson Phillips song which I assume is called "Release Me"
or something similar.  I have no idea whether or not any of them were
involved in writing the song, of course, so they probably shouldn't
be blamed too much for any insincerity found therein.  I suppose.)

Great harmonies, though, and Richard's larger point was well-taken.
