Who’s gonna shoe your pretty feet
Who’s gonna hold your hand
Who’s gonna take you out tonight
To listen to the band
Who’ll be the one you love to love
Who’s gonna make you glow
Who’s gonna show you off tonight
When she takes you to the show

It’ll be me
Babe, it’ll be me
Coming for thee
Babe, coming for thee
In case there’s any doubt
Here’s what I’m talkin’ about
It’ll be me
Babe, it’ll be me

Who’s gonna meet you in the morn
Court you through the day
Who’s gonna be there by your side
When you rock the night away

It’ll be me
Babe, it’ll be me
Coming for thee
Babe, coming for thee
In case there’s any doubt
Here’s what I’m talking about
It’ll be me
Babe, it’ll be me
Coming for thee
Babe, coming for thee
In case there’s any doubt
Here’s what I’m talking I’m talking about me
Babe, it’ll be me

It’ll be me, babe
