Baby here I stand before you
With my heart in my hand
I put it to you mama
        A#7
Hoping that you'll understand
     D#   D#7 D#
Oh, baby
                           A#
Mama, please don't dog me round
     F                               D#
Yeah I, I would rather love you, baby
     D#7                    A#  D# A# F7
Than anyone else I know in town

Well this is my confession, mama,
and I'm thrilled by all your charm
It seems that I'm in Heaven, mama,
when you hold me in your arms
Well, baby, can I have you for myself?
If I can't have you, baby,
I don't want nobody else

Oh, when my days are long
and dreary and the sun refuse to shine
I would never weep low and lonely
if I knew that you were mine
Well, baby, make everything alright
And I have you, too, baby or will it
be tomorrow night?

Well, baby, don't you want a man like me?
Well, baby, don't you want a man like me?
You think only about the future,
forget about your used-to-be
