Annette Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd like to see you without it, I must confess
When you do a little dance I can't resist
Sit down beside me and give me a kiss
Won't you be my Pretty Baby
Be my baby awhile
Set your hands on your hips, shake it all about
Dance like a schoolgirl turn, turn, twirl
Sing your little schoolgirl song set your dress a-whirl
Won't you be my Pretty Baby
Be my baby awhile
Wiggle and jiggle, shimmy and shake
Twist and tremble, all I can take
Dance like a schoolgirl, turn, turn, twirl
Sing your little schoolgirl song set your dress whirl
Won't you be my Pretty Baby
Be my baby awhile
Won't you be my Pretty Baby
Be my baby awhile

Line by Line Meaning
Dance around my apartment in that pretty dress
Move and sway gracefully in my living space, wearing an attractive outfit
I'd like to see you without it, I must confess
I desire to witness your beauty unadorned, I must admit
When you do a little dance I can't resist
Your small and graceful movements captivate me irresistibly
Sit down beside me and give me a kiss
Join me in close proximity and share an intimate moment of affection
Won't you be my Pretty Baby
Would you consider becoming my lovely companion
Be my baby awhile
Spend some time being affectionately cared for by me
Pull your right foot in, put your right foot out
Draw your right foot inward, then extend it outward
Set your hands on your hips, shake it all about
Place your hands around your waist and move vigorously
Dance like a schoolgirl turn, turn, twirl
Move joyfully with the grace and spirit of a young girl, spinning and rotating
Sing your little schoolgirl song set your dress a-whirl
Express yourself melodically in the manner of a schoolgirl, causing your dress to spin along
Wiggle and jiggle, shimmy and shake
Make subtle and dynamic movements, swaying and vibrating
Twist and tremble, all I can take
Spin and quiver, pushing the limits of what I can handle
Won't you be my Pretty Baby
Would you consider becoming my lovely companion
Be my baby awhile
Spend some time being affectionately cared for by me
Won't you be my Pretty Baby
Would you consider becoming my lovely companion
Be my baby awhile
Spend some time being affectionately cared for by me
