I saw you walk down the street with some other girl, yeah
Always thought that I was the only one in your world
Baby, can you tell me so?
Out of sight out of mind ain't what love ought to be, yeah
And I hoped all the time that you'd be faithful to me
You'd be faithful to me
All I'm asking you for when you walk out the door
Is to be my baby, baby
I just want to be sure that forever and more
You would be my baby
Love is just like a flower baby, it has to grow, yeah
And when you are away, I'm even loving you more
I just have to let you know
One-on-one is the way and that's the way it should be, yeah
So if you're not gonna stay, then don't be playing with me
You can set me free
All I'm asking you for when you walk out the door
Is to be my baby, baby
'Cause all this love is for you and you know that I'm true
And I'll be your baby
All I'm asking you for when you walk out the door
Is to be my baby, baby
'Cause you knew from the start that you were working my heart
Won't you be my baby?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Alright, alright
I remember our walk the other Saturday night, yeah
Sweet harmonies filled and floated through our minds
Never felt this way before
We were riding so high on love and understanding
On était si élevés, portés par l'amour et la compréhension
So why go wasting your time when you have got such a find
Alors pourquoi perdre ton temps quand tu as trouvé une telle perle
That is everlasting
Qui est éternelle
All I'm asking you for when you walk out the door
Tout ce que je te demande quand tu franchis la porte
Is to be my baby, baby
C'est d'être ma chérie, chérie
I just want to be sure that forever and more
Je veux juste être sûr que pour toujours et à jamais
You would be my baby
Tu serais ma chérie
All I'm asking you for when you walk out the door
Tout ce que je te demande quand tu franchis la porte
Is to be my baby, baby
C'est d'être ma chérie, chérie
'Cause all this love is for you and you know that I'm true
'Car tout cet amour est pour toi et tu sais que je suis sincère
And I'll be your baby
And I want you to love me baby
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Alright, alright, alright
And I want you to love me, baby
