Be My Baby

[Verse 1]
Last Monday night in a Jamaica Plain bar
A friend of a friend told me who you are
And would I mind very much giving you a ride
So we crossed the river to the other side

[Pre-Chorus]
The other side, the other side
I wouldn't mind giving you a ride

[Chorus]
Be my, be my baby tonight

[Verse 2]
So I drove you home and we got to your street
I turned to talk but you were out the door and on your feet
I thought I was after you but you were on my tail
Left me with a smile put my heart in jail

[Pre-Chorus]
My heart's in jail, my heart's in jail
Singing like a caged nightingale

[Chorus]
Be my, be my baby (Be my, be my)
Be my one and only
Be my, be my baby tonight

[Bridge]
It's midnight in Central but your face shines like dawn
Still at arm's length, we're falling headlong
(Falling headlong, falling headlong)

[Verse 3]
One night you walked me home and then I saw
Just one wool shirt between you and the cold
I know you knew I might have asked you to stay
So you said goodbye one street away

[Pre-Chorus]
One street away, one street away
I know honey what you wouldn't say

[Chorus]
Be my, be my baby (Be my, be my)
Be my one and only
Be my, be my baby tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
