My Baby Loves Me
Johnny Dollar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My baby needs me, oh yeah
No other guy can whisper sweet things in my ear
My sweetie pie has the only sweet voice I sweet hear
So clear, so yeah
He needs me (he really really needs me) oh yeah (oh yeah)
My baby loves me (he really really loves me) oh yeah (oh yeah)
Can't seem to see no other handsome face
There's just no cute substitute can take my baby's place
'Cause I know he needs me (he really really needs me) oh yeah (oh yeah)
I'll never ever give my baby no trouble
Whenever he calls me, I come runnin' on the double
'Cause I know he loves me (he really really loves me)
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
And he needs me (he really really needs me)
Yes he does (oh yeah)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Now nobody can tell me a place where I'm goin' wrong, oh no
Nobody could ever embrace a lover so strong
'Cause I know he loves me, he tells me that he needs me
I know he loves me, can't be without me, oh no

I listen to this and I am 17 and walking on the beach and driving with the car top down on Ocean Drive in Myrtle Beach, SC. The wind in my hair and just chilling taking in the sights. Oh how lucky I was to live so close to the ocean and beach music.
