Baby, baby, baby,
from the day I saw you
I really, really wanna catch your eye.
There’s somethin’ special ’bout you
and I must really like you.
Cuz not a lotta guys are worth my time, oh…
Ooh… baby, baby, baby,
it’s gettin’ kind of crazy –
cause you are takin’ over my mind.
And it feels like, ooh
but you don’t know my name
And I swear,
it feels like, ooh
but you don’t know my name.
(’round and ’round and ’round we go,
will you ever know?)
Oh… baby, baby, baby
I see us on our first date
you’re doin’ everything that makes me smile.
And when we had our first kiss
it happened on a Thursday –
ooh, it set my soul on fire.
Ooh baby, baby, baby,
I can’t wait for the sunrise,
with you watchin’ right here by my side.
And it feels like, ooh
but you don’t know my name
And I swear it baby,
it feels like, ooh
but you don’t know my name.
(’round and ’round and ’round we go)
Will you ever know?
spoken:
I’m sayin’,
he got my heart doin’ cartwheels inside me,
got me feelin’ all crazy inside,
I’m feelin like,
“Ow!”
Doin’ more than I’ve ever done
for anyone’s attention,
take notice of what’s in front of you
cuz did I mention – Ow! –
you’re ’bout to miss a good thing.
And you’ll never know how good it feels to have
all of my affection,
and you’ll never get a chance to experience my lovin’ – Ow! –
cuz my lovin’ feels like, ooh
But you don’t know my name
(’round and ’round and ’round we go, will you ever know?)
And I swear it feels like… ooh
but you don’t know my name,
(’round and ’round and ’round we go, will you ever know?), oh…
Will you ever know it?
No, no, no, no, no…
no, no.
Will you ever know it?
