[Drum Intro]

[Verse 1]
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 'em turn their heads every place we go

[Chorus]
So won't you, please
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby
(My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin'
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now
Wha-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
I'll make you happy, baby, just wait and see
For every kiss you give me, I'll give you three
Oh, since the day I saw you
I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you 'til eternity

[Chorus]
So won't you, please
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby
(My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin'
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now
Wha-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
So c'mon and be
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby
(My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin'
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now
Wha-oh-oh-oh

[Outro]
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby
(My one and only baby)
Oh-oh-oooooh
(Be my, be my baby)
Ooooooooooh
Wha-oh-oh-oh-oh

(Be my, be my baby)
Oh-oh-oooooh
(My one and only baby)
Ooooooooooh
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now
Wha-oh-oh-oh

The Ronettes

Certainly the most popular of Phil Spector’s artists, the Ronettes were named for and led by Veronica “Ronnie” Spector (nee Bennett). From their trademark hairdos to their iconic vocal talents, the Ronettes were the perfect vehicle for Spector’s innovative production techniques, and trailblazed a new era of pop with their singles and LP.
