Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers - Baby Baby

I think I already posted something by Frankie Lymon... but.. I like his voice, and the lyrics to this song.

The Teenagers' first single, 1956's "Why Do Fools Fall in Love", was also their biggest. After Lymon went solo in mid-1957, both his career and those of the Teenagers fell into decline. Lymon eventually fell into heroin addiction, and died in 1968 at the age of 25.

Fame, fatal fame...it can play hideous tricks on the brain.






Baby-baby, how I want you
Baby-baby, how I need you
Baby-baby, you're the only one,
two, three, four

Baby-baby, how I miss you
Baby-baby, long to kiss you
Baby-baby, say you want me too,
three, four, five

You're my favourite number, all that counts is you
I'm so glad it's you I want
I'm so glad you want me too

Baby-baby, want to bring you
Baby-baby, a wedding ring too
Baby-baby, soon will be three,
four, five, six
Stop!

Baby-baby, when I'm near you
Baby-baby, I go right to
Baby-baby, heaven number seven,
eight, nine, ten

Baby-baby, in your arms dear
Baby-baby, all your charms dear
Baby-baby, I appreciate
nine, ten, eleven

You're my favourite number, all that counts is you
I'm so glad it's you I want
I'm so glad you want me too

Baby-baby, hold me tight dear
Baby-baby, with all your might dear
Baby-baby, till the clcok strikes nine,
ten, eleven, twelve
Go home!
That's all, bye-bye..
