The Barberettes Lyrics


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'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 every place we go

So won't you, please?
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby
(My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin'
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now
(My one and only baby)
Whoa oh oh oh

I'll make you happy, baby, just wait and see
For every kiss you give me, I'll give you three
Oh, since 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, be my baby)
Be my little baby
(My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin'
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now
(My one and only baby)
Whoa oh oh oh

So won't you, please? (So come on and be?)
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby
(My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin'
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now
(My one and only baby)
Whoa oh oh oh

Be my, be my baby
(Be my little baby)
My one and only baby
Be my, be my baby
Be my baby now
(My one and only baby)

Be my, be my baby
(Be my little baby)
My one and only baby




Be my, be my baby
My one and only baby

We're still in the 20s we must wait at least more 30 years until we got to the 50s 60s music right?

@StixFerryMan

I miss these ladies. I know no group lasts forever, but I really wanted to see more from the three of them.

@hectorherrera526

I hear you. I found them just after they started, I thought they would last forever. But no, they had to go and break up. Shame on them. 😫
