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'...
