Who's gonna love you, mama?
Who loves you, pretty baby?
When tears are in your eyes and you can't find the way.
it's hard to make believe you're happy when you're gray.
Baby, when you're feeling like you'll never see the morning light,
come to me. Baby, you'll see.
Who loves you, pretty baby?
Who's gonna help you through the night?
Who loves you, pretty mama?
Who's always there to make it?
Who loves you?
Who loves you, pretty baby?
Who's gonna love you, mama?
Who loves you, pretty baby?
And when you think the whole wide world has passed you by,
you keep on trying but you really don't know why.
Baby, when you need a smile to help the shadows drift away,
come to me. Baby, you'll see.
Who loves you, pretty baby?
Who's gonna help you through the night?
Who loves you, pretty mama?
Who's always there to make it?
Who loves you?
Who's gonna love you, love you?
Who's gonna love you?
Who's gonna love you, love you?
Who's gonnna love you?
Baby, baby.
Doot, doot, doot, doot.
Come to me.
Baby, you'll see.
Who loves you, pretty baby?
Who's gonna help you through the night?
Who loves you, pretty mama?
Who's always there to make it? [REPEAT & FADE]
