I'll Be Your Baby Tonight
Marianne Faithfull · No Regrets [2008]
You don't have to worry anymore
I'll be your baby tonight
Shut the light, shut the shade
You don't have to be afraid
I'll be your baby tonight
That mockingbird's going to sing away
We're gonna forget it
That big fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon
But we're gonna let it, you won't regret it
Kick your shoes off, do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I'll be your baby tonight
That mockingbird's going to sing away
We're gonna forget it
That big fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon
But we're gonna let it, you won't regret it
Kick your shoes off, do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I'll be your baby tonight
