Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You baby you´re driving me mad
Ooh baby your kiss is so sweet
You baby knock me off my feet
Ooh baby I wish you were mine
Ooh baby we´d have a good time
Ooh what can I do
You baby you´re making me hot
Ooh baby my temperature is high
Ooh baby a hundred and five
Ooh baby I think that you´ll find
Ooh baby I´m out of my mind
Ooh what can I do
I wish that there was some way
I could have you to myself
Wish I didn't have to share you
With anyone else (share you)
With anyone else (share you)
Ooh baby wherever you are
You baby will you be my star
Ooh baby I´m begging you please
Ooh baby down on my knees

O'Sullivan's music is appealing to me in that I often find it unusual--The "Oh, Baby' lyrics are not too imaginative to me, but I really like the tune and chords of the music. Seems really ahead of its time.

One of the best things he ever recorded
@iangascoigne1555
Underrated artist perhaps because of the jokey image his clothing projected. Enjoying him again now.
