Make You My Baby
Joe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo, I want to talk about tonight,
And ah, what's gonna happen, you and me,
Listen.

I hear your body calling, "baby, rescue me".
Girl you a prisoner, and you need to be, set free.
Your body's speaking words that only my body can hear.
I feel the time is right, cause we're alone up in here.
You staring at me as if you want me right now.
And girl I know exactly what you need (I know what you need).
So many nights I've dreamed of laying you down,
Because you're a special lady, and tonight I'm gonna be making you my baby.

(Make you my baby)
(Make you my baby)
Make you my baby
(Make you my baby)
(Make you my baby)
Oh, make you my girlfriend
(Make you my baby)
(Make you my baby)
Yeah, tonight
(Make you my baby)
(Make you my baby)
Baby da dah, da dah

Baby, your voice is whispering, telling me to take control.
Our hearts are beating fast, as we're taking off our clothes.
Girl I can feel the heat getting strong, I'm starting to sweat.
Baby you and me, making history, sexually (you staring at me).
You staring at me as if you want me right now (I know you want me baby).
Girl I know exactly what you need (oh, I know what you need).
So many nights I've dreamed of laying you down (lay you down).
Because you're a special lady (oh) and tonight I'm gonna be making you my baby.

(Make you my baby)
(Make you my baby)
Oh, gonna make you my baby
(Make you my baby)
(Make you my baby)
Gonna make you my girlfriend, all mine
(Make you my baby)
(Make you my baby)
Gonna make you my baby
(Make you my baby)
(Make you my baby)
Tonight, listen baby.

Bridge: (you will be)
After tonight you'll be, baby a part of me.
And we'll make history, baby sexually.
Girl this chemistry, will last all eternity,
Because you're a special lady, and tonight I'm gonna be making you my baby.

Make you my baby
Make you my baby




Make you my baby
Make you my baby
