Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm raving bout my baby now
Pretty little dimples here and dimples there,
Don't want to live without her
I love her goodness knows
I wrote a song about her and here's the way it goes
Baby Face, you've got the cutest little baby face
There's not another one could take your place
My poor heart is jumpin you sure have started somethin
Baby face, I'm up in heaven when I'm in your fond embrace
I didn't need a shove cause I just fell in love
With your pretty baby face
When you were a baby not so long ago
You must have been the cutest thing
I can picture you at ev'ry baby show
Just winnin ev'ry ribbon with your sweet baby way
Say, honest I ain't fibbin, you'd win em all today
Baby Face, you've got the cutest little baby face
There's not another one could take your place
Baby face
My poor heart is jumpin you sure have started somethin
Baby face, I'm up in heaven when I'm in your fond embrace
I didn't need a shove cause I just fell in love
With your pretty baby face
