Stephen Sanchez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then, honey, I'm a goddamn fool
When I tell you there's no replacement
For what you do to me
So give all your love to me
And give all your love to me
Those other boys will let you down
One, two, three
Baby, won't you be my girl?
Baby, won't you be my girl?
Baby, won't you be my only girl?
Love's a dog and it's tail I'm chasin'
I'm pullin' down the moon for us
Stumbled towards the room, heart's racin'
Just know that it's because of you
So give all your love to me
And give all your love to me
Those other boys will let you down
No, I would never mess around
One, two, three, ah
Baby, won't you be my girl?
Baby, won't you be my girl?
Baby, won't you be my only girl?
Baby, won't you be my girl?
Your loving's got my head in a twirl, lady
So, baby, won't you be my only girl?
I don't want nobody else
No, I just want you to myself
So won't you please forever be
My only girl, only girl?
I don't want nobody else
No, I just want you to myself
So won't you please forever be
My only girl, only girl?
Baby, won't you be my girl?
Baby, won't you be my girl?
Baby, won't you be my only girl?
Baby, won't you be my only girl?

I’m so happy this guy makes music on pure love, and doesn’t have cuss words, or anything about certain inappropriate subjects. It’s only about love, and that’s all there is to it. A love song! And we need more people that recognize and respect the 50-60s music vibe, because it truly is great, and well written. I’m so happy you’re bringing back that vibe!
