[Verse 1]
It's 2:11 and I'm stressing
Watching TV in my hotel suite
I check my service every second
At 2:10 you still hadn't called me
So I'm gonna leave my cell phone
Turned on in my purse by the bed
And before I fall asleep
I guess I'll just check my machine
Again and again 'cause I'm
Obsessing on you

[Chorus]
I wanna be your babydoll
Wrap me up nice and tight
Love me all through the night
Come lay me down
Enfold me in your arms
Cover me with velvet kisses
Rock me on and on and whisper softly to me:
"You wanna be my babydoll"

[Verse 2]
Zoning out, thinking about you and me between the sheets
I wanna get intimate, but you're not within my reach
So I'll have a little more wine
And I'll try to drink you out of my head
And I'll lay awake awhile
'Til I'm high enough I can
Forget all about you until
I wake up again

[Chorus]
I wanna be your babydoll
Wrap me up nice and tight
Love me all through the night
Come lay me down
Enfold me in your arms
Cover me with velvet kisses
Rock me on and on and whisper softly to me:
"You wanna be my babydoll"

[Bridge]
Slipping into dreams
I feel my love surround you
My subconscious seems
To weave itself around you
Do you care for me?
Beyond idolization
Tell me how you feel
But don't keep me at bay
'Cause I won't be waiting long

[Chorus]
I wanna be your babydoll
Wrap me up nice and tight
Love me all through the night
Come lay me down
Enfold me in your arms
Cover me with velvet kisses
Rock me on and on and whisper softly to me:
"You wanna be my babydoll"
I wanna be your babydoll
Wrap me up nice and tight
Love me all through the night
Come lay me down
Enfold me in your arms
Cover me with velvet kisses
Rock me on and on and cuddle up next to me:
"Come on and be my babydoll"

[Outro]
Still layin' up in bed, it’s 3:27
My body’s lonely
Why ain’t ya callin'?
I’m ready for ya, boy don’t you know it?
Ooooh, you can ring my bell
Ring my bell, my bell
I wanna be your babydoll
Don't you wanna be my babydoll?
I wanna be your babydoll

Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
