[Chorus]
Baby baby baby baby
You know that you're so fine
Baby baby baby baby
Think about you all the time

I guess it's time to say baby, baby
How you make me feel
When you come to my mind
I can't keep my cool baby, baby
I can't hold it inside

I can't wait each day just to see you walk
Tryin' to move in close to get to where you are

I'm not trying to be rude baby, baby
Nothing ventured nothing gained
Oh I'm telling you 

[Chorus]

Words just ain't enough baby, baby
But that's all I can use to state my intentions
Hope it gets to love baby, baby yeah
It's a perfect situation

Cause we fit together like a hand in glove
Just to be with you is all I'm thinking of
Oh oh yeah

What else can I say baby oh baby
We are alone and I'm singing this song to you

[Chorus: x2]

My darling, oh baby,
You're all I'm thinking of now
My darling, oh baby,
You're all I need right now
Hey hey hey

[Chorus: x2]

Brandy

Brandy (from brandywine, derived from Dutch brandewijn—"burnt wine") is a spirit produced by distilling wine. Brandy generally contains 35–60% alcohol by volume (70–120 US proof) and is typically taken as an after-dinner drink. Some brandies are aged in wooden casks, while some are simply coloured with caramel colouring to imitate the effect of such aging (and some brandies are produced using a combination of both aging and colouring). more »
