Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's why I'm in love with you
Pretty baby, pretty baby
And I'd like to be your sister
Brother, dad and mother too
Pretty baby, pretty baby
Won't you come and let me
And we'll cuddle all the time
Oh, I want a lovin', baby
And it might as well be you
Pretty baby of mine
Everybody loves a baby
That's why I'm in love with you
Pretty baby, pretty baby
And I'd like to be your sister
Brother, dad and mother too
Pretty baby, pretty baby
Won't you come and let me
Rock you in my cradle of love?
And we'll cuddle all the time
Oh, I want a lovin', baby
And it might as well be you
Pretty baby of, pretty baby of
Pretty baby of mine
