Be My Baby
Joi Cardwell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do it

Be my baby
Be my baby
Be my baby


In my life
Thought it was a lie
That people fell in love
Whenever I tried couldn?t realize
The fuss that was going on
Out of the blue
The truth
Came like a thief in the night
Oh my
They were right
Now I?m looking for a home

So don?t you want to be my baby
Without your love I could go
Crazy
Don?t you want to take a chance with me
Within one night ill change your mind
Take a chance see what you?ll find
I would lead to your every fantasy
Oh yes Be my baby

Be my baby
Be my baby
Be my baby
Be my baby

Something?s changed
The way I feel
And it?s better than before
I don?t even know if you?re for real
Or a dream I?m having a lone
Let me kiss you once hold you twice
Dance with you ?ll night
Catch your breath feel your caress
Until all doubt is gone

So don?t you want to be my baby
Without your love I could go
Crazy
Don?t you want to take a chance with me
Within one night ill change your mind
Take a chance see what you?ll find
I could lead to your every fantasy
Oh yes be my baby


Be my baby
Be my baby
Be my baby
Be my baby

Do do do do do do do
Do it
BE my Baby





Repeat?

I think the 80s and 90s definitively produced the very BEST HOUSE MUSIC...whether it was Garage, Freestyle, UndergroundDeepHouse, Acid, Hip House, Dream House, Italo Piano-driven House, Euro House etc etc. (:
