BE MY BABY
Johnny Deerfield Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The night we met
I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance
I'd never let you go
So won't you say you love me
I'll make you sow proud of me
We'll make 'em turn their heads
Every place we go

So won't you please say
You'll be my little baby

I'll make you happy baby
Just wait and see
For every kiss
You give me
I'll give you three
Oh, since the day I say you
I have been waiting for you
You know I'll be good you

Until eternity
So won't you be.
