My Baby

About My Baby

"My Baby" is a 1965 hit single recorded by The Temptations for the Gordy (Motown) label. Written by Miracles members Smokey Robinson, Bobby Rogers, and Pete Moore and produced by Robinson, the song was a top 20 pop hit in the United States, and a top 5 hit on the R&B charts. An extension of the theme from the group's #1 hit "My Girl", which had been released the previous December, "My Baby" features The Temptations, with David Ruffin on lead, bragging about the qualities of a special lady. Ruffin praises his woman's hairstyles ("hair soft like a baby lamb/and I love to run my fingers through it") and personality ("the gold in her personality/could set Fort Knox to shame"), and hopes that "she digs me the way I am/but if I have to change/you know I'm gona do it for my baby". "My Baby" was a notable attempt to create an uptempo danceable number for the Temptations; all of their previous Top 20 hits to this point had been either ballads or mid-tempo numbers. The single immediately following "My Baby", "Get Ready", followed the same plan, and was produced with an even faster tempo and a brassier arrangement. more »

My Baby - The Temptations
(R.Rogers,W.Robinson & W.Moore)

Whose hair styles are out of this world
Whether it's straight or be fond of it's curls
My Baby My Baby My Baby ... hey hey hey
My Baby, Baby pretty Baby

Hair soft like a baby lamband I love to run my fingers through it.
I hope she digs me the way I am, cause if I have to change.
You know I'm gonna do it for my baby,
(I'm gonna do it for my baby)

Personality containing more gold,there is no bank in this world could hold.
My Baby, My Baby, My Baby, hey hey hey
My Baby, Baby, pretty Baby

Enough gold in her personality, to set Ft.Knox to shame.
This gold girl has proved to me,Yet no guy could try
To stake his claim on my baby.

(My baby) she's cute as can be (my baby) this girl's got a hold on me
(My baby) has a kiss so sweet, she knocks me off my feet,
She makes my life complete

Oh yeah, she's my baby
Oh yeah, she's my baby
And I love her soooooo
Yeah, I love my baby sooooo

My baby, she's cute as can be, my baby, this girl's got a hold on me
My baby, has a kiss so sweet, she knocks me off my feet,
She makes my life complete

Who has my mind in a kind of haze,Who has me walkin' around in a daze.
My Baby, My Baby, My Baby, hey hey hey
My Baby, Baby, pretty Baby

She gives me a feelin I can't explain,She sets my soul on fire.
But I don't feel hurt and I don't feel pain.
All I feel is strong desire for my baby,

Oh yeah my baby, that personality to satisfy me
Woo, that's my baby, My baby, My baby
