I I want I want you I want you to I want you to be (what?) I want you to be my baby Will Will you Now will you please Will you please tell Will you please tell me (what?) If you're gonna be my baby Listen to your mama And you never will regret it 'Cause if anybody wonders You can tell 'em that I said it The only thing I know is That I never can forget you I've been longing for you, baby Ever since the day I met you I got you where I want you I'm never gonna let you Get away from me Do what I tell you I'm the girl for you and so You'd 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 givin' me some lovin' Carryin' a torch for you
