[Verse 1]
I (I)
I want (I want)
I want you (I want you)
I want you to (I want you to)
I want you to be (What?)
I want you to be my baby
Will (Will)
Will you (Will you)
Will you please (Will you please)
Will you please tell (Will you please tell)
Will you please tell me (What?)
If you're gonna be my baby
[Verse 2]
Listen to your daddy and you never will regret it
And if anybody wonders, you can tell 'em that I said it
The only thing I know is that I never can forget you
I been longin' for you, baby, ever since the day I met you
I got you where I want you, and I'm never gonna let you
Get away from me, hear what I tell you
[Verse 3]
I'm the man for you and so you better start to face it
If you ever lose my love, you know you never can replace it
I think it's time for you to start to givin' me some lovin'
'Cause I'm carryin' a torch for you that's hotter than a oven
It's time for you and me to do a little turtle dovin'
Baby, hold me tight, do what I tell you
[Verse 4]
I (I)
I want (I want)
I want you (I want you)
I want you to (I want you to)
I want you to be (What?)
I want you to be my baby
Will (Will)
Will you (Will you)
Will you please (Will you please)
Will you please tell (Will you please tell)
Will you please tell me (What?)
If you're gonna be my baby
[Verse 5]
Ain't no use in stallin'
Baby, say that you'll be mine
