Would You Be My Baby
Chic · Take It Off [1981]
Could you be my, be my baby
Don't you tell me no or maybe
If you won't I will go crazy
Be my baby
When a woman like me boy
Says there's gonna be, boy
Between us something beautiful
Listen, open up your heart and let me in
Feel the way I love you
I love you so madly and I'll go crazy
Maybe all night, baby, yes and day
Could you be my, be my baby
Don't you tell me no or maybe
If you won't I will go crazy
Be my baby
When the sky starts falling
That's when I'll start calling
I want you so badly so why can't you
Just comply with my needs
Think of how I say that I love you
I love you cause your beautiful
And if I could I know that I'd
Love you till the end
Could you be my, be my baby
Don't you tell me no or maybe
If you won't I will go crazy
Be my baby
Oh why don't you come on and be, yeah
Why don't you come on and be, yeah

Could you be my, be my baby
Don't you tell me no or maybe
If you won't I will go crazy
Be my baby
Don't you tell me no or maybe
If you won't I will go crazy
Be my baby
When a woman like me boy
Says there's gonna be, boy
Between us something beautiful
Listen, open up your heart and let me in
Feel the way I love you
I love you so madly and I'll go crazy
Maybe all night, baby, yes and day
Could you be my, be my baby
Don't you tell me no or maybe
If you won't I will go crazy
