4-Bar Intro
Verse 1
YOU ASK ME WHY I'M AL-WAYS TEAS-ING
YOU,
YOU HATE TO HAVE ME CALL YOU PRET-TY
BA-BY;
I REAL-LY THOUGHT THAT I WAS PLEAS-ING
YOU,
FOR YOU'RE JUST A BA-BY TO ME.
YOUR CUN-NING LIT-TLE DIM-PLES AND
YOUR BA-BY STARE,
YOUR BA-BY TALK AND BA-BY WALK AND
CUR-LY HAIR;
AND THAT IS WHY I'M SURE THAT I WILL
AL-WAYS LOVE YOU BEST OF ALL.
Verse 2
YOUR MOTH-ER SAYS YOU WERE THE CUT-EST
KID;
NO WON-DER, DEAR-IE, THAT I'M WILD
A-BOUT YOU,
AND ALL THE CUN-NING THINGS YOU SAID
AND DID.
WHY, I LOVE TO FOND-LY RE-CALL,
AND JUST LIKE PE-TER PAN, IT SEEMS
YOU'LL AL-WAYS BE
THE SAME SWEET, CUN-NING, LIT-TLE
BA-BY DEAR TO ME.
AND THAT IS WHY I'M SURE THAT I WILL
AL-WAYS OVE YOU BEST OF ALL.
