Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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)
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 come on and please (Be my, be my baby)
Won't you be my little baby (My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin' (Be my, be my baby)
Come on be my baby now (My one and only baby) whoa oh oh oh
Oh, since the day I saw you, I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you 'til eternity
So come on and please (Be my, be my baby)
Oh won't you 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
