lyrics

Baby, baby, baby, lyin’ in the shade
Who’s gon’ take care of you all day?
Well daddy’s in the field and mommy’s on her way
But who’s gon’ take care of you all day

And I said it’s just cuz I wanna love you
It’s just cuz I wanna see you smile,
And it’s just cuz I wanna love you
Oh, it’s just cuz I wanna love you
It’s just cuz I wanna see you smile

Baby, baby, baby, do you know my face
I’m the girl in the dress with her shoes untied pickin’ Queen Anne’s Lace
Well Sunday’s falling fast and you don’t know your place
Hold the hand of the girl with her hair tucked back under Queen Anne’s Lace

And I said it’s just cuz I wanna love you
It’s just cuz I wanna see you smile,
And it’s just cuz I wanna love you
Oh, it’s just cuz I wanna love you
It’s just cuz I wanna see you smile

Oh- it’s gonna be ok, gonna be ok, cuz it’s always ok
Time’s gonna pave her way, cuz she’s always here to cover the disarray
It’s gonna be ok, gonna be ok, cuz it’s always ok
Time’s gonna pave her way, cuz she’s always here to cover the disarray

Baby, baby, baby you aren’t on your own
Somebody’s caring when you don’t know
Oh it’s hard to feel at ease when you feel so alone
But somebody’s caring when you don’t know

I said it’s just cuz I wanna love you
It’s just cuz I wanna see you smile,
And it’s just cuz I wanna love you
Oh, it’s just cuz I wanna love you
It’s just cuz I wanna see you smile
