Listen here
I want to tell you bout this baby of mine
Just in a few words, brother, she is so fine
She's my darling girl
And I wouldn't change her for the world

Well, I've never been in love like I am with-a my little girl
She gives me all the love I want and more
She's everything that I've been looking for
She's my angel baby
And I wouldn't change her for the world, now

Oh, I never been in love like I am with-a my little girl
Hey, now, she's the cutest thing that I've ever seen
And when you see her you'll know just what I mean
She's my baby doll girl and I wouldn't change her for the world
Well, I've never been in love like I am with-a my little girl

Now, there's just only one thing that I have to say
I'm gonna love her for the rest of my days
'Cause she's my darling girl
And I wouldn't change her for the world

Oh, I never been in love like I am with-a my little girl
Say, well, I never been in love like I am with-a my little girl




One more time, people
Never been in love like I am with-a my little girl
