Lyrics
Baby
You know sometimes you make me wanna scream
Oh, ho, oh, oh, oh, ooh
Mmm, hmm, mmm
Oh, ho, ho, mmm
Sugar, sugar, sugar, please, would you?
Yeah, yeah
All was not lost today
Your brown eyes converted me
And let me know
That you’re the right girl for me
You don’t need to (you don’t)
You don’t need to (need to)
You don’t need (offer same love)
You don’t need (I offer you)
It would be a shame
To let someone else
Take my place, ooh
(Take my place, now)
You’ve got me dreaming (got me dreaming)
I can tell
Without you being there
So stop this mistreating me (stop this mistreating)
I want to stay with you (I want to stay)
I want to lay with you (I want to lay)
I want to be your man
Be my girl
Be my girl, be my girl (mm)
Be my girl
Be my girl, be my girl
Be my girl
Be my girl, be my girl
Be my girl (woo, ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo)
I need you
In a desperate way
All the girls I met
Were so full of play
It’s not even a bother
If I forgot their names, oh yeah (do you mind?)
In the minute I first saw you
Then every, every, every, every teenage fantasy came true
But you look the other way
Am I walkin’ for the day?
Broke my spirit, broke my spirit (now)
You’ve got me dreaming (got me dreaming)
And I can tell
Without you bein’ there
So stop this mistreating me (stop this mistreating)
Oh, I want to stay with you (I want to stay)
I want to lay with you (I want to lay)
I want to be your man (Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, )
Be my girl
My girl, be my girl {Be my girl}
Ho, ho, ho, ho (baby)
Be my girl (my girl, baby), be my girl (won’t you be my girl?)
Be my girl (hey)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
