Verse 1: You ask me why I'm always teasing you,
You hate to have me call you Pretty Baby;
I really thought that I was pleasing you,
For you're just a baby to me.
Your cunning little dimples and your baby stare,
Your baby talk and baby walk and curly hair;
Your baby smile makes life worth while,
You're just as sweet as you can be.

Chorus: Ev'ry body loves a baby that's why I'm in love with you,
Pretty Baby, Pretty Baby;
And I'd like to be your sister, brother, dad and mother too,
Pretty Baby, Pretty Baby;
Won't you come and let me rock you in my cradle of love,
And we'll cuddle all the the time.
Oh! I want a Lovin' Baby and it might as well be you,
Pretty Baby of mine.

Verse 2: Your mother says you were the cutest kid;
No wonder, dearie that I'm wild about you,
And all the cunning things you said and did.
Why, I love to fondly recall,
And just like Peter Pan, it seems you'll always be,
The same sweet, cunning, Little Baby dear to me.
And that is why I'm sure that I will
Always love you best of all.

Chorus: Ev'ry body loves a baby that's why I'm in love with you,
Pretty Baby, Pretty Baby;
And I'd like to be your sister, brother, dad and mother too,
Pretty Baby, Pretty Baby;
Won't you come and let me rock you in my cradle of love,
And we'll cuddle all the the time.
Oh! I want a Lovin' Baby and it might as well be you,
Pretty Baby of mine.
