[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Well, the very first time that I saw you there
You know I couldn't believe my eyes
I thought I was the winner of The Price is Right
And they let me keep every prize
I've never been famous as a ladies man
I'm not known as a crazy guy
In fact, I've never made the papers over nothin' at all
I think it's time somebody gave me a try
[Chorus]
Baby, be mine tonight
And this old world will turn out alright
Just to find you took a whole lifetime
I could lose you in a minute's time
[Post-Chorus]
Be mine tonight (Baby, be mine tonight)
Be mine tonight (Baby, be mine tonight)
[Verse 2]
I don't know if you've ever been in love before
But I think this is my very first time
I wish someone could tell me what my next move is
I'm afraid I'm falling way behind
I know you've been around about as much as I have
When the lights go out, we'll see
You can further your education all your life
Honey, just don't make a fool out of me
[Chorus]
Baby, be mine tonight
And this old world will turn out alright
Just to find you took a whole lifetime
I could lose you in a minute's time
[Post-Chorus]
Be mine tonight (Baby, be mine tonight)
Be mine tonight (Baby, be mine tonight)
[Bridge]
I've been left alone
I've been on the streets so long
I feel like I'm falling
Or sinking in quicksand
Throw me out a line
Be a special friend of mine
I would love to take you home
If I only had a home
[Chorus]
Baby, be mine tonight
And this old world will turn out alright
Just to find you took a whole lifetime
I could lose you in a minute's time
Baby, be mine tonight
And this old world will turn out alright
Just to find you took a whole lifetime
I could lose you in a minute's time
[Outro]
Be mine tonight (Baby, be mine tonight)
Be mine tonight (Baby, be mine tonight)
Baby, be mine tonight (Baby, be mine tonight)
Baby, be mine tonight (Baby, be mine tonight)
Baby, tonight (Baby, be mine tonight)
Baby, be mine tonight (Baby, be mine tonight)
Baby, baby, baby, tonight (Baby, be mine tonight)
Baby, tonight (Baby, be mine tonight)
Baby, tonight, tonight
