About Baby Love

"Baby Love" is a 1986 crossover hit single by Brooklyn-born singer Regina. The single hit number one on the dance charts for two weeks in mid-1986. The single crossed over to the pop singles chart, where it peaked at #10 on Billboard's Hot 100, and at #30 on the Billboard Soul Singles chart. "Baby Love" would be her only single to chart on both the Pop and Soul Singles charts, but several follow up singles charted on the dance chart. The song was written by Stephen Bray, Regina Richards & Mary Kessler. Bray had written several hits for Madonna. It was intended for Madonna, with Regina's recording the song when Madonna declined. With Bray's production, it sounded similar to Madonna's own recordings and was sometimes mistaken for one. The first released version of the song was by Dutch girl group The Star Sisters, who released it on their 1985 album Danger.

Boy, there's no one home tonight
The timing could be right
To forget the rules, we're out of school
Until tomorrow
Now, if only you would stay
There's so many games we'd play
Why should we pretend to be just friends
When we could be so much more?

Baby love, you are my
Baby love, just call it

Words don't mean so much to me
I'd rather wait and see
See what happens when the lights go down
With your arms around me
Time to leave the world behind
Save it for another time
Cause I don't remember where I am when
You start to love me

Baby love, you are my
Baby love, just call it
Ooh, baby, baby, love
Ooh, sweet and tasty baby, baby, love

Boy, I want you by my side
There's no reason we should hide
How we feel when we are near each other undercover
Warm, I'll hold you close to me
You're perfection first degree
Cause I don't remember where I am
When you start to move me

Baby love, you are my
Baby love, just call it
