[Verse 1: David Ruffin & (The Temptations)]
Whose hairstyles are out of this world
Whether it's straight or bouffant or it's curled?
My baby (My baby, my baby), hey hey hey
My baby, baby, pretty baby
[Bridge: David Ruffin & (The Temptations)]
Hair soft like a baby lamb and I love to run my fingers through it
I hope she digs me the way I am, but if I have to change
You know I'm gonna do it for my baby
(I'm gonna do it for my baby)
[Verse 2: David Ruffin & (The Temptations)]
Personality contains more gold
Than any bank in this world could hold
My baby (My baby, my baby), hey hey hey
My baby, baby, pretty baby
[Bridge: David Ruffin & (The Temptations)]
Enough gold in her personality to set Fort Knox to shame
This golden girl belongs to me
Let nobody try to stake his claim
(Stake his claim on my baby)
[Chorus: David Ruffin & (The Temptations)]
(My baby) She's cute as can be
(My baby) This girl's got a hold on me
(My baby) Has a kiss so sweet, it knocks me off my feet
She makes my life complete
Oh yeah, she's my baby
Oh yeah, she's my baby
And I love her so
Yeah, I love my baby so
(My baby) She's cute as can be
(My baby) The girl's got a hold on me
(My baby) Has a kiss so sweet, it knocks me off my feet
She makes my life complete
[Verse 3: David Ruffin & (The Temptations)]
Who has my mind in a kind of a haze?
Who has me walkin' around in a daze?
My baby (My baby, my baby), hey hey hey
My baby, baby, pretty baby
[Bridge: David Ruffin & (The Temptations)]
She gives me a feeling I can't explain
She sets my soul on fire
But I don't feel hurt and I don't feel pain
All I feel is a strong desire for my baby
(Strong desire for my baby)
[Outro: David Ruffin]
Oh yeah, my baby, got personality to satisfy me
Oh baby, that's my baby, my baby, my baby
Whose hairstyles are out of this world
Whether it's straight or bouffant or it's curled?
My baby (My baby, my baby), hey hey hey
My baby, baby, pretty baby
[Bridge: David Ruffin & (The Temptations)]
Hair soft like a baby lamb and I love to run my fingers through it
I hope she digs me the way I am, but if I have to change
You know I'm gonna do it for my baby
(I'm gonna do it for my baby)
