Be My Baby
?? ?? ??? Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hormone in production,
Such a waste of time,
Let's get down to business.

I know I'm a stranger,
You should know that I'm.
Won't you be my baby?
Good girls should be careful
And always home on time.
(Good girls should be careful)

Don't misunderstand me,
You can make the rules,
But I'll make the arrangements.

All you gotta do is be my baby.
Be my baby.
Help you with your problems,
You help me with mine.
Won't you be my baby?

I can teach you things
You'll never learn in school,
You don't have to thank me.

All you gotta do is be my baby.
Be my baby, that's all you gotta do,
You'll take care of me, babe,
And I'll take care of you.

(won't you be my baby?)
(be my baby)
(be my baby)
(be my baby)
(be my baby)
(be my baby)
(baby, baby, baby, be my baby)
Babe, babe, babe, baby, babe

Come on, baby, come on, baby, now,
Oh, baby, baby, (baby, baby) baby, baby,
Be my baby, oh, be my baby.

I said, babe, babe, babe, baby, babe





Turn the tape off just for me!

Lyrics
The night we met I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go
So won't you say you love me?
I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make 'em turn their heads every place we go
So won't you, please (be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby? (My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin' (be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now (my one and only baby)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I'll make you happy, baby, just wait and see
For every kiss you give me, I'll give you three
Oh, since the day I saw you
I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you 'til eternity
So won't you, please (be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby? (My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin' (be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now (my one and only baby)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
So come on and, please (be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby? (My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin' (be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now (my one and only baby)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Be my little baby? (My one and only baby)
Oh-oh-oh (be my, be my baby)
Oh (my one and only baby)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh (be my, be my baby)
Oh-oh-oh (My one and only baby)
Oh (be my, be my baby)

I was 17 in '63 and fell with in love with the Ronettes and listening to their music today still brings tears to an old man's eyes.
