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

(chorus)
Be my, be my baby
Be my litlle baby

Say you'll be my darling
Be my, be my baby
Be my baby now

For every kiss you give me

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 litlle 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 baby
wa oh oh oh
