Verse 1: There's something the matter with me, dear, Something I've tried to explain;
If you're away for a week or a day, 'Round my heart I feel a pain
I don't know why, all I do is sigh.
But, dearie, when you are near me, I'm happy as I can be.
Let's cuddle there in the big morris chair, Like a couple of birds in a tree,
Oh, dearie you know, I love you so.

Chorus: You're my baby, You're a wonderful child.
I like to have you 'round to make a fuss over me;
I like to bounce you up and down on my knee,
For you're my baby, You certainly were made for me,
If you should go away, I'd get right down and pray, that you'd come back to me
Because I love you so, for you're my baby.

Verse 2: I never knew why I was lonely, Never knew why I was blue,
Never knew why I would worry or sigh, Till I met you; then I knew
My Paradise, was in your eyes.
Just lay your head on my shoulder, Come to the island of bliss,
Wander thro' life just as husband and wife, We can settle it all with a kiss,
Oh dearie, it's true, that I love you.

Chorus: You're my baby, You're a wonderful child.
I like to have you 'round to make a fuss over me;
I like to bounce you up and down on my knee,
For you're my baby, You certainly were made for me,
If you should go away, I'd get right down and pray, that you'd come back to me
Because I love you so, for you're my baby.
