Be My Baby (See Vanessa Paradis)
Lenny Kravitz · Other Songs - Lenny Kravitz
Always thought that I was the only one in your world
Baby, can you tell me so?
Out of sight out of mind, ain't what love ought to be, yeah
And I hoped all the time that you'd be faithful to me
You'd be faithful to me
All I'm asking you for when you walk out the door
Is to be my baby, baby
I just want to be sure, that forever and more
You would be my baby
Love is just like a flower, baby, it has to grow, yeah
And when you are away, I'm even loving you more
I just have to let you know
One on one is the way and that's the way it should be, yeah
So, if you're not gonna stay, then don't be playing with me
You can set me free
All I'm asking you for when you walk out the door
Is to be my baby, baby 'cause all this love is for you
And you know that I'm true and I'll be your baby
All I'm asking you for when you walk out the door
Is to be my baby, baby 'cause you knew from the start
That you were working my heart, won't you be my baby?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, alright, alright
I remember our walk the other Saturday night, yeah
Sweet harmonies filled and floated through our minds
Never felt this way before
We were riding so high on loving and understanding, yeah
So, why go wasting your time when you have got such a find
That is everlasting?
All I'm asking you for when you walk out the door
Is to be my baby, baby
I just want to be sure, that forever and more
You would be my baby
All I'm asking you for when you walk out the door
Is to be my baby, baby, 'cause all this love is for you and you know
That I'm true and I'll be your baby
And I want you to love me baby
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, alright, alright
