Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

All my friends keep askin', what do I see in you?
Through their eyes, your beauty doesn't show
Ooh, all they ask is justified looking through the naked eye
But through the eyes of my love, I see
The inner beauty of you

That's why you're my little baby (my little baby)
That's why you're my little baby (my little baby)
I don't want love on the skin
It's got to come from deep within
That's why you're my little baby (my little baby)
My little baby (my little baby)
My heart controls my eyes
And your love, I visualize, oh yeah

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

All your so-called girlfriends who compliment your clothes
Know that they're your mama's hand-me-downs
Ooh, the fashion world's turning so fast
You're still trying to catch the past
But in my world of love your style
I know will always last

That's why you're my little baby (my little baby)
That's why you're my little baby (my little baby)
I don't care what experts say
Our love is tailor-made
That's why you're my little baby (my little baby)
My, my, my, my little baby (my little baby)
Like a brand new ermine coat
You keep me warm as toast, little baby

You know it's true, little baby
You know it's true, girl
You know it's true, little baby
You know it's true, babe
I'm sticking with you, little baby
I'm sticking with you, girl
I'm sticking with you, little baby

Always thrill me when you touch me
Honey, you thrill me when you kiss me, little baby, yeah
Oh, sweet baby, baby
I've got to say I'm thankful that you're my little baby (my little baby)
My little baby (my little baby)
You fill me up with pride (oh yeah)
Every time you're by my side, now, now, now, now

Oh yeah, you're my little baby (my little baby)
My little baby (my little baby)
My little baby (my little baby)
I've got to say I'm thankful that you're my little baby (my little baby)
My little baby (my little baby)

Oh yeah (my little baby)
Little baby
You're my little baby, my little baby
My little baby
Ooh, yeah, baby (my little baby)
