Be My Baby

Ronettes · Dirty Dancing [1987]

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 darling

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

Whoa whoa whoa

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 till 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 darling

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

Whoa whoa whoa

So come on and be

Be my, be my, be my little baby

My one and only baby, say you'll be my darling

Be my, be my, be my baby now, whoa whoa whoa

Be my, be my, be my little baby, my one and only baby...

Be My Baby

Ronettes' 'Be My Baby' stands as a cornerstone of the 1963 girl group sound, defined by its infectious rhythm and vocal harmony. Originally recorded for their debut album, 'Presenting The Fabulous Ronettes,' the track became an anthem of the bubblegull pop era. While the song achieved massive commercial success and cultural recognition in its original form, it was later reimagined for the 1987 film 'Dirty Dancing.' This cinematic version, while retaining the song's essential melody and structure, serves as a nostalgic bridge connecting the group's groundbreaking early work with modern film soundtracks. The recording exemplifies the tight vocal interplay and upbeat dance-pop style that made the Ronettes a defining act of their time.
