Hey Baby - Bruce Channel
Dirty Dancing · Original Soundtrack
hey, hey baby (uhh ahh)
I wanna know
if you'll be my girl
when I saw you walking
down the street
I said that's the kind of
gal I'd like to meet
she's so pretty
Lord, she's fine
I'm gonna make her mine, all mine
CHORUS
when you turned and
walked away
that's when I wanted to say
come on baby give me a whirl
I wanna know if you'll be my girl
CHORUS
