Baby I Love You
A.F.J.ED. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'd like to love you baby
And keep my other baby too
Put my arms around you,
That's all I want to do
If the sun don't shine tomorrow,
I know I've got you

I'd like to love you baby
And keep my other baby too
Sometimes my baby's sleeping,
Sometimes she's not around
Sometimes I look to find her,
I know she'll put me down

Oh, won't you let me hold you,
Let me lean on you
I'd like to love you baby
And keep my other baby too
If the sun don't shine tomorrow,
I know I've got you




I'd like to love you baby
And keep my other baby too

@maxr4448

I heard this by accident today 02/12/22, streaming through local radio channels driving in my work truck to work this morning....I had to pull over. Into a local dealer of travel trailers, on Palm Beach in Ft. Myers. It was 04:47 am. This... song is everything to me. The words, the voices. My God.... I'm so glad I'm alive to hear this. I forget the GREATEST decade of music>'60's. Sorry all, but I'm 64 I was 5 or 6 when this was on the radio. I heard this in my parents car. When they sat next to each other in the front bench seat :-). Sorry this old guy has teared up. I LOVE THIS. The Ronettes and all the early '60's female groups I adore. Love them Thank You Ronettes for wonderful memories. Ronnie you made me happy. I hope to see you again singing in the here after. Rest in Peace Ronnie

Fantastic xxx

Don't suppose she was a witness to an offbeat, casual wedding.... could be she'd rather watch than participate.
Her wedding to the maestro ended on a bad chord...but she was sweet and optimistic probably!
