Pretty Baby
Doris Day & Harry James Lyrics

You ask me why I'm always teasing you,
You inquire about why I often make jokes about you,

You hate to have me call you Pretty Baby;
You dislike it when I refer to you as Pretty Baby;

I really thought that I was pleasing you,
I believed that I was making you happy by using that nickname,

For you're just a baby to me.
Because to me, you have the qualities of an adorable, lovable baby.

Your cunning little dimples and your baby stare,
Your clever and endearing dimples and the way you look at me like a baby,

Your baby talk and baby walk and curly hair;
The way you speak, move and your beautiful curls,

Your baby smile makes life worth while,
Your beautiful smile that adds meaning to life,

You're just as sweet as you can be.
Your sweetness knows no bounds. You're as sweet as they come.

Your mother says you were the cutest kid;
According to your mother, you were the most adorable child,

No wonder, dearie, that I'm wild about you,
It's no surprise that I'm crazy in love with you,

And all the cunning things you said and did.
The clever pranks and tricks that you've pulled in the past,

Why, I love to fondly recall,
I adore reminiscing about those moments,

Ann just like Peter Pan, it seems you'll always be
In the same way as Peter Pan, you appear to be someone who'll never age,

The same sweet, cunning, Little Baby dear to me.
The same adorable, witty, and loving little baby that I hold dear.

And that is why I'm sure that I will always love you best of all.
This is the reason why I'm confident that I'll always love you the most.

Everybody loves a baby that's why I'm in love with you,
Everybody adores babies, and that's why I fell for you,

Pretty Baby, Pretty Baby;
Pretty Baby, oh my beautiful little baby;

And I'd to be your sister, brother, dad and mother too,
I would love to be your sibling, parent, and your everything,

Pretty Baby, Pretty Baby.
My Lovely Baby, My Lovely Baby.

Won't you come and let me rock you in my cradle of love,
Wouldn't you let me hold you in my arms and rock you gently to sleep,

And we'll cuddle all the time.
And we'll snuggle close together every moment we have.

Oh! I want a Lovin' Baby and it might as well be you,
Oh, how I crave a loving baby, and there's no one else I'd rather have but you,

Pretty Baby of mine.
My precious and charming little baby.
