Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on, come on, come on baby
Come on, come on, come on baby
Come on, come on, come on baby
So come on

Hey baby, I wanna walk with you
(Hey, baby)
I wanna talk to you
(Hey, baby)

I wanna tell you I don't mean to bug you, I just wanna love you
Hey baby, oh, you got some big, pretty eyes
(Hey, baby)
And I will tell you no lies
(Hey baby)

I wanna tell you I don't mean to bug you, I just wanna love you
I can see you, our love that would be so true
If you give me just one chance
I'll prove to you, we'll have a greater romance

Hey baby, oh, come on and let me take you home
(Hey, baby)
So we can be alone
(Hey, baby)

I wanna tell you I don't mean to bug you, I just wanna love you
I can see you, our love that would be so true
If you give me just one chance
I'll prove to you, we'll have a greater romance

Hey Baby, oh, come on and let me take you home
(Hey, baby)
Ha, so we can be all alone
(Hey, baby)

I wanna tell you I don't mean to bug you, I just wanna love you
How are you?
(Hey baby, hey baby)
Ah





Come on and let me show you, baby
Come on, come on, baby
