Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You want me to kiss you
And love you, and call you
My baby doll, my baby doll
And what if I told you
I'd love so to hold you
To thrill you, so please be
Bless my soul it would hurt me so
If our love fell through
But I know I'll find a way
To prove my love to you
Let's not lay, I'll hear you say
You love me and want to be
My one and only, true forever
Baby doll, my baby doll
Bless my soul it would hurt me so
If our love fell through
But I know I'll find a way
To prove my love to you
Let's not lay, I'll hear you say
You love me and want to be
My one and only, true forever
Baby doll, my baby doll
My baby doll
My baby doll

Brilliant evocative song. I met Mike Berry a couple of times in the 90's. Wonderful guy, willing to take the time to chat and answer questions. Chas Hodges from CHAS & DAVE was one of the OUTLAWS. Mike Berry also played Mr.Spooner in the sitcom ARE YOU BEING SERVED.

Something very special about Joe Meek..... I still play the Tornadoes--and they still recapture for me the joy of shooting out on a Saturday morning to pick up their latest 45. Ah, days of innocence.....
