They formed in 1966 in Yorkshire, England and did some early records under the name "Smokey". The band broke into the mainstream after teaming up with songwriters Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn, artists known for also working with Pat Benatar and Sweet among others. Smokie is perhaps best known for "Living Next Door to Alice", one of their top hits that was a U.K. top 5 single.

While touring in Ireland, the discovered the audience would cheer back "Who the Fuck is Alice?". As it turns out , this was a ritual at a Café in Nijmegen (the Netherlands) called "Gompie". The group decided to "cover" this version with comedian Roy Chubby Brown having the honor of yelling "Alice, Who the Fuck is Alice?" during the chorus. Thus, Smokie holds the record as the first group to have a top ten song with the word "fuck" in it.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The night we met I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance I would never let you go

So won't you say you love me,
I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make them turn the heads,
Everywhere we go, so won't you be...
Be my little baby

Say you'll be my darling
Be my baby now

Oh
I'll make you happy baby
Just wait and see
For every kiss you give me,
I'm gonna give you three
Since the day I saw you
I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you
'Til eternity

So won't you be...
Be my little baby
Say you'll be my darling
