The night we met I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go
So won't you say you love me
I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make them turn their heads every place we go

So won't you please
(be my be my baby)
Be my little baby
(my one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darling
(be my be my baby)
Be my baby now oh oh oh oh

I'll make you happy baby just wait and see
And for every kiss you give me I'm gonna give you three
Since the day I saw you
You know I was waiting for you
You know I will adore till eternity

So won't you please

(be my be my baby)
Be my little baby
(my one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darling
(be my be my baby)
Be my baby now oh oh oh oh

Instrumental

Since the day I saw you
You know I was waiting for you
You know I will adore till eternity

So won't you please
(be my be my baby)
Be my little baby
(my one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darling
(be my be my baby)
Be my baby now oh oh oh oh

As the founding member of The Beatles, John Winston Lennon (1940-1980) is one of the most recognizable cultural icons of the 20th Century. He is also the other half of the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership, alongside fellow Beatle, Paul McCartney.

As a solo artist and through his relationship and collaboration with avant-garde artist Yoko Ono, he became just as recognizable for his political activism.

Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980, outside of his New York apartment, The Dakota. Since then, his music and message remain timeless.
