Leon Redbone Pretty Baby
From the Album "Sugar" (1990)
You ask me why I'm always teasing you
You hate to have me call you pretty baby
I really thought that I was pleasing you
'Cause you're just a baby to me
Your cunning little dimples and your baby stare
Your baby talk and baby walk and curly hair
Your baby smile makes life worth while
You're just as sweet as you can be
Everybody loves a baby
That's why I'm in love with you
Pretty baby, pretty baby
But I'd like to be your sister
Brother, Dad and Mother too
Pretty baby, pretty baby
Won't you come and let me
Rock you in my cradle of love
And we'll cuddle all the time
Oh I want a lovin' baby
And it might as well be you
Pretty baby of mine
Your mother says you were the cutest kid
No wonder dearie, that I'm wild about you
And all the cunning things you said and did
Why I love to fondly recall
And just like Peter Pan, it seems you'll always be
The same sweet cunning little baby dear to me
And that is why I'm sure
That I will always love you best of all
Everybody loves a baby
That's why I'm in love with you
Pretty baby, pretty baby
But I'd like to be your sister
Brother, Dad and Mother too
Pretty baby, pretty baby
Won't you come and let me
Rock you in my cradle of love
And we'll cuddle all the time
All I wants a lovin' baby
And it might as well be you
Pretty baby of mine
Pretty baby of mine
