You light me up and then I fall for you You lay me down and then I call for you Stumbling on reasons that are far and few I'd let it all come down and then some for you Pretty baby, don't you leave me I have been saving smiles for you Pretty baby, why can't you see You're the one that I belong to? I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm For you're the sun that breaks the storm I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound As long as you keep coming 'round Oh pretty baby And I know things can't last forever But there are lessons that you'll never learn Oh just the scent of you it makes me hurt So how's it you that makes me better? Pretty baby, don't you leave me I have been saving smiles for you Pretty baby, why can't you see? You're the one that I belong to I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm For you're the sun that breaks the storm I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound As long as you keep coming Why can't you hold me and never let go? When you touch me it is me that you own Pretty baby Oh the place that you hold in my heart Would you break it apart again? Oh pretty baby Pretty baby, don't you leave me I have been saving smiles for you Pretty baby, why can't you see You're the one that I belong to? I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm For you're the sun that breaks the storm I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound As long as you keep coming 'round Pretty baby, why can't you see? Pretty baby, don't you leave me Pretty baby, why can't you see? Pretty baby, don't you leave me Pretty baby, my pretty baby My pretty baby, don't you leave
