[Intro]
(Baby, baby, baby, baby)
[Verse 1]
Yes, I did dance with your mother
'Fore I knew her name
I swore I knew her name before I
Had a laugh with your mother
Went on our first date
I said, "I'm glad you came"
She said, "I feel the same"
So, how about that now?
[Chorus]
Baby (Baby)
What a beautiful thing (Ooh)
I said, "Baby" (Baby)
"What a beautiful thing" (Ooh)
[Verse 2]
I got wild with your mother
Ended on the bed
She said, "Kiss me on the neck"
So I kiss her neck
Took a really long time with your mother
You had bigger plans
Said that I'm half a man
And darling, I can't
Or maybe I can, how could you know?
[Chorus]
Baby (Baby)
That's a beautiful thing (Ooh)
How could you know, baby?
What a beautiful thing (Ooh)
[Verse 3]
So I touch your belly
About a million times
How long until you land okay?
So I waited for you, baby
Went to cherish your mother
Then the doctor came
Said the doctor came
Well I said, "Hey, Doc"
Tried to laugh with my baby
But you made that face
I said, "If I could take your pain
You know I would, you know I would"
[Chorus]
Here comes the baby (Baby)
That's a beautiful thing (Ooh)
Said what about baby?
That's a beautiful thing (Ooh)
Said what about baby?
That's a pretty good name
Said what about baby?
That's a pretty good name
[Outro]
And here comes your baby
