Lyrics
- Baby, please come over here
Let’s talk it over, dear
Why keep me in doubt?
Kindly get me straightened out
Just how do I stand with you?
What’s what, and who is who?
I love you so, and I’d like to know
Chorus
You’re my sweetie, ain’t you, baby?
Sure, indeedy, ain’t you, baby?
If you crave me, come and show it
Don’t be bashful, make me know it
Like my kissin’, don’t you, baby?
Aw, now listen, won’t you, baby?
Speak your mind without restraint
Is you is or is you ain’t?
Positively and no maybe baby, ain’t you mine?
- Now what have you got to say?
Don’t sit so far away
Move up closer, dear
You can think much better here
Put your head right next to mine
Now take my hand, that’s fine
Mm! Ain’t this great?
Now let’s get this straight
