Shells Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby oh baby I need you, need you so badly
Baby oh baby there is nothing I wouldn't do for you
Yeah, I go walkin' down the street
There is a favorite, favorite girl I meet
Yeah,yeah,yeah, on the arm to look nice
But then when I'm with you,I'm in paradise
Baby I love you, oh baby I do
Baby oh baby why don't you be true
Baby oh baby there is nothing I wouldn't do
for you
Baby I do
I do love you

This is true Doo Wop. The voices are as clear as a bell. Sweet harmony. Bring it back we need it bad.
Michael Thorpe
This doo wop classic was first released in the summer of 1957 but didn't sell. Three years later, two teenagers who fondly remembered the song scavenged the unsold copies of "Baby Oh Baby" that were gathering dust in the warehouse at Johnson Records. Cousin Brucie began to play the record in New York, and this time it became a hit, reaching #21 on the national Billboard pop chart in January, 1961, all because two fans refused to let it die. "Baby Oh Baby" was gone, but not forgotten.
