Steve Carlson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The night we met I knew that I needed you so
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 everywhere we go.

Won′t you, please,
You be my little baby
You say you′ll be my darlin'
And be my baby now

I′ll make you happy, baby, just wait and see.
For every kiss you give me I will give you three.
And from 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 baby)
You be my little baby (my one and only baby)
You say you'll be my darlin′(be my baby)
And be my baby now

So Won't you, please, (be my baby)
You be my little baby (my one and only baby)
You say you'll be my darlin′ (be my baby)
And be my baby now

So Won′t you, please, (be my baby)
You be my little baby (my one and only baby)
You say you'll be my darlin′ (be my baby)
And be my baby now

Oh
So Won't you, please, (be my baby)
You be my little baby (my one and only baby)
You say you′ll be my darlin' (be my baby)
And be my baby now

Oh
So Won′t you, please, (be my baby)
You be my little baby (my one and only baby)
You say you'll be my darlin' (be my baby)
And be my baby now

Oh
So Won′t you, please, (be my baby)
You be my little baby (my one and only baby)




You say you′ll be my darlin' (be my baby)
And be my baby now
