Hello My Baby
Toni Carroll Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't know nobody as happy as we
She's only twenty and I'm twenty one
We never worry, we're just havin' fun
Sometimes we quarrel and maybe we fight
But then we make up the following night
When we're together we're great company
I love my baby, my baby loves me
We're hotsy-totsy, why shouldn't we be?
She gives me kisses, each one is a smack
But you should hear 'em when I give 'em back
Sometimes we quarrel and maybe we fight
But then we make up the following night
When we're together we're great company
I love my baby, my baby loves me
