I never knew why I loved you so much
Maybe it’s the way you look at me when you get up in the morning
I didn’t need a shove,
I just fell in love,
With your little baby face

Baby face,
You got the prettiest little baby face
There isn’t another one to take your place
Baby face
You got my heart a jumpin’
You sure have started something

Baby face,
I’m up in heaven when I’m in your firm embrace
I didn’t need a shove,
I just fell in love
With your pretty little baby face

You got my heart a-jumpin’
You sure have started something

Baby face,
I’m up in heaven when I’m in your firm embrace
I didn’t need a shove,
I just fell in love
With your pretty little baby face,
Pretty little baby face,
Pretty little baby face.
