Well, you’re my baby with the pretty eyes
With a pretty face and a pretty size
And you’re so nice, and you’re so sweet
And you’re sweeping me right off of my feet
It’s you I care for, it’s you I adore
I can’t sleep a wink, only could think
You’ve got me tossing, tossing at night
I just wanna hold you tight
You could be short, and you could be tall
It really wouldn’t matter, matter at all
You look good to me, from your head to toe
And each day, I love you more and more
And every time I see you, I wish I could
Take you and keep you, and love you good
And put my loving arms around you best
So you could be beside me, to lead me and guide
To lead me and guide me—whoa, yeah
Whoa, little girl, I’m telling you true
I can’t do without you
My baby (my baby), you’ve got to be rider (my baby)
Whoa, my soul (my baby)
Say daddy, daddy, daddy (my baby)
Won’t you love me some more (my baby)
You’s a whole lotta woman (my baby)
You’s a whole lotta woman (my baby)
Hey, I said every time I see you, I wish I could
Take you and keep you, and love you good
And my loving arms around you, hey
So you could be beside me, to lead me and guide me
To lead me and guide me—whoa, yeah
Whoa, little girl, I’m telling you true
I can’t do without you
My baby (my baby)
Got to kiss me in the morning (my baby)
Late at night (my baby)
Say daddy, daddy, daddy (my baby)
Won’t you hold me tight (my baby)
You’s a whole lotta woman (my baby)
You’s a whole lotta woman (my baby)
You’s a whole lotta woman (my baby)
Hey, hey (my baby)
Mmm, I say a-baby, bay-a-baby, baby
Bay-a-baby-bay-a-bay-a-baby baby
Bay-a-baby baby, bay-a-baby baby
Bay-a-baby baby
With a pretty face and a pretty size
And you’re so nice, and you’re so sweet
And you’re sweeping me right off of my feet
It’s you I care for, it’s you I adore
I can’t sleep a wink, only could think
You’ve got me tossing, tossing at night
I just wanna hold you tight
You could be short, and you could be tall
It really wouldn’t matter, matter at all
You look good to me, from your head to toe
And each day, I love you more and more
And every time I see you, I wish I could
Take you and keep you, and love you good
And put my loving arms around you best
So you could be beside me, to lead me and guide
To lead me and guide me—whoa, yeah
Whoa, little girl, I’m telling you true
