Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Come back baby, I wanna play house with you
Well, you may go to college
You may go to school
You may have a pink Cadillac
But don't you be nobody's fool
Now baby, come back baby
Come, come back baby, come
Yeah, come back baby
I wanna play house with you
Well, listen to me baby
Try to understand
I'd rather see you dead little girl
Than to be with another man
My baby, come back baby
Come, come back baby, come
Yeah, come back baby
I wanna play house with you
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Come back here, I wanna play house with you
Well, you may go to college
You may go to school
You may have a pink Cadillac
But don't you be nobody's fool
Now baby, come back baby
Come, come back baby, come
Yeah come back baby
I wanna play house with you, yes
Well, listen to me baby
There's one thing you should know
Come on back and let's play a little house
And we can act like we did before
Baby, come back baby, come
Come back baby, come
Come back baby, I wanna play house with you
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, moo, moo, moo
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Come back baby, I wanna play house with you
Come back baby, I wanna play house with you
