Oh you said you were my baby now I know that you're my baby

But it seems to me you got rovin' eye

If you wanna be my baby then you gotta be my baby

You can't keep your finger in two different fire

I remember how you pleaded when you told me that you needed

My lovin' I believe it without a doubt

So if you wanna be my baby then you gotta be my baby

And you gotta leave 'em kissin' cousins out

Oh when you're high steppin' I'm a crawlin' low

I get suspicious and I'm a gonna tell you so

If you wanna be my baby then you gotta be my baby

And be nobody's baby but mine



Now I heard there was another so I went and asked your mother

If anybody hung around besides me

She gave me no satisfaction and now I can't take no action

But I think I'll hang around and see

If you wanna be my baby then you gotta be my baby

And you gotta come to me and tell me so

If you're gonna be my baby then you gotta be my baby

And I'm tired of waitin' round so let me know

Yes when you're high steppin'...
