[scatting] 

Talk about your famous love affairs
Romeo and Juliet had theirs
I just found someone and someone found me
We're not very famous but who cares

I love my baby, my baby loves me
Don't know nobody as happy as we
I'm only twenty and he's twenty-one
We ain't got money, but ain't us got fun

Sometimes we quarrel, and maybe we fight
But then we make up the following night
When we're together we're great company
I love my baby, my baby loves me

[scatting] 

Though we've known each other just a year
I'm not gonna lose him, never fear
Pa says I'm foolish, and Ma says so too
'Coz each evening this is what they hear

(come on honey now)

[scatting] 

I love my baby
I love my baby

[scatting]

I love my baby, my baby loves me
We're hotsy-totsy, why shouldn't we be?
He gives me kisses, each one is a smack
But you should hear 'em, when I give 'em back

I bought a little cookbook, and I'm learnin' to bake
He likes my coffee, keeps him awake
We wash the dishes from seven till three
I love my ba-ba-by, my baby loves me
