Oh you said you were my baby 
Now I know that you're my baby 
But it seems to be you got roamin' eyes 
If you wanna be my baby 
Then you gotta be my baby 
You can't keep your finger in two different lives 
I remember how you pleaded 
When my love you said you needed 
And I believe without a doubt 
So if you wanna be my baby 
Then you gotta be my baby 
And keep those kissin' cousins out 

Oh you know how when I said I was a'rollin' 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 

Just think about it 

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 
You gotta come to me and tell me so 
If you wanna be my baby 
Then you gotta be my baby 
I'm tired of waitin' around so let them know 

Oh how when I said that I'm a Rollin low 
I'm gunna get suspicious and I'm gunna tell you so 
If you wanna be my baby 
Then you gotta be my baby 
And be nobody's baby but mine 

I said and be nobody's baby but mine 

And I mean it!
