(N. Stock)

I don't want to throw away the hours
Don't wanna get drawn into a fight
I just want to show my womanly powers
And share you with the night

I don't wanna stop your concentration
I don't wanna drive your thoughts away
I just want to prove this situation
It's going, oh, my way

So won't you be my, be my, be my, be my baby
So won't you be my, be my, be my shining pearl
So won't you be my, be my, be my, be my baby
And I will be your girl

I don't wanna hold back my emotions
I don't wanna let them hide away, let them hide away
I just want your full co-operation
Take you all the way

So won't you be my, be my, be my, be my baby
So won't you be my, be my, be my shining pearl
So won't you be my, be my, be my, be my baby
And I will be your girl

I wouldn't make you run away
I wouldn't take no anyway
I won't stop until I know of wow

So won't you be my, be my, be my, be my baby
Won't you be my baby
So won't you be my, be my, be my shining pearl
Be my shining pearl




So won't you be my, be my, be my, be my baby
And I will be your girl
