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 darling
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now
(My one and only baby)
Whoa oh oh oh

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 darling
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now
(My one and only baby)
Whoa oh oh oh

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 darling
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now
(My one and only baby)
Whoa oh oh oh

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

Be my, be my baby
Won't be my little baby
(My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darling
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now

Be my, be my baby
My one and only baby...

Bette Midler is a Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, comedienne and actress. Named in honor of Bette Davis, Midler’s career began performing off-broadway until she developed the stage persona The Divine Miss M while singing at the world-famous Continental Baths gay bathhouse. A pre-fame Barry Manilow, the venue’s in-house piano player, produced her Grammy-nominated debut album which scored three US top 40 singles including the Grammy-nominated “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”. Midler took home the Best New Artist Grammy that year, her first of three career wins.

Throughout the 1970s, Midler found further success with music, Broadway, television and film. The Rose, Midler’s 1979 acting debut, earned her both Oscar and Academy Award nominations, and its namesake song won her a Golden Globe and another Grammy – also giving Midler her first success overseas.

The early 1980s proved less successful for Midler with four under-performing singles and a box office flop with the film Jinxed. However, the second half of the decade would prove far more fruitful with a handful of very successful films including Down and Out in Beverly Hills, Ruthless People, Outrageous Fortune and Beaches, the latter featuring a chart-topping cover of “Wind Beneath My Wings” that won Midler her third Grammy and is considered one of the greatest songs in American film history.
