[Chorus]
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]
Listen to your mama and you never will regret it
And if anybody wonders, you can tell them 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 and I'm never gonna let you
Get away from me, hear 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 to give me some loving
Carrying a torch for you that's hotter than an oven
It's time for you to give me a little bit of loving, baby
Hold me tight and do what I tell you
[Chorus]
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?
[Refrain]
Hear what I tell you
I'm the gal 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 to give me some loving
Carrying a torch for you that's hotter than an oven
It's time for you to give me a little bit of loving, baby
Hold me tight and do what I tell you
[Outro]
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, want you to be
Want you to be my baby
