From the time I fall asleep
'Til the morning comes I dream about
You baby
And I feel all right
'Cause I know tonight I'll be with
You baby
And who makes me feel like smiling
When the weary day is through

You baby, no-one but you, baby, nobody but you
You baby, no-one but you, baby, nobody but you

They say candy is sweet
But it just can't compete with
You baby
You've got everything I need
And nobody can please like
You do, baby
And who believes all my wildest dreams
And my craziest schemes will come true

You baby, no-one but you, baby, nobody but you
You baby, no-one but you, baby, nobody but you

A little ray of sunshine
A little bit of soul
Add just a touch of magic
You got the greatest thing since rock 'n' roll

You baby, no-one but you, baby, nobody but you
You baby, no-one but you, baby, nobody but you

You baby, no-one but you, baby, nobody but you
You baby, no-one but you, baby, nobody but you
