And if I had the chance I'd never let you go
So won't you say you love me
I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make 'em turn their heads every place we go
So won't you, please, be my, be my baby
Be my little baby, my one and only baby
Be my baby now, my one and only baby
Wha oh oh oh
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 saw you
I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you 'til eternity
So won't you, please, be my, be my baby
Be my little baby, my one and only baby
Say you'll be my darlin', be my, be my baby
Be my baby now, my one and only baby
Wha oh oh oh oh
So come on and, please, be my, be my baby
Be my little baby, my one and only baby
Say you'll be my darlin', be my, be my baby
Be my baby now, my one and only baby
Wha oh oh oh
Be my, be my baby, be my little baby
My one and only baby, oh oh
Be my, be my baby, oh
My one and only baby, wha oh oh oh oh
Be my, be my baby, oh
My one and only baby, oh
Be my, be my baby, oh
Be my baby now
The Ronettes' song "Be My Baby" is a classic love song that tells the tale of falling head over heels in love from the moment of first encounter. The singer speaks of how they knew they needed to be with their love interest from the night they met and that they would never let them go if given the chance. The chorus is a plea for the love interest to be theirs, exclaiming they will make them proud and turn heads wherever they go. The lyrics continue to express adoration on the part of the singer, promising to make their love interest happy and give them three kisses for every one they receive. The song finishes with a final plea to be theirs, calling for the love interest to be their baby.
The song's lyrics tap into the universal feeling of falling in love at first sight and the desire to make someone happy and be with them forever. The repetition of "be my baby" throughout the song emphasizes the singer's desperation for their love interest to be with them. The use of the word "baby" also adds to the the sense of tenderness and sweetness in the song.
