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

So won't you please

Be my, be my, be my little baby

My one and only baby

Say you'll be my darling

Be my baby now

My one and only baby

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

Till eternity so won't you please

Be my, be my, be my little baby

My one and only baby

Say you'll be my darling

Be my baby now

My one and only baby
