Babydoll
[Verse 1]
It’s 2:11 and I’m stressing
Watching TV in my hotel suite
I check my service every second
At 2:10 you still hadn’t called me
So I’m gonna leave my cell phone
Turned on in my purse by the bed
And before I fall asleep
I guess I’ll just check my machine
Again and again because I’m
Obsessing on you
[Chorus]
I wanna be your babydoll
Wrap me up nice and tight
Love me all through the night
Come lay me down
Enfold me in your arms
Cover me with velvet kisses
Rock me on and on and whisper softly to me:
“You wanna be my babydoll”
[Verse 2]
Zoning out, thinking about you and me between the sheets
I wanna get intimate, but you’re not within my reach
So I’ll have a little more wine
And I’ll try to drink you out of my head
And I’ll lay awake awhile
‘Til I’m high enough I can
Forget all about you until
I wake up again
[Verse 1]
It’s 2:11 and I’m stressing
Watching TV in my hotel suite
I check my service every second
At 2:10 you still hadn’t called me
So I’m gonna leave my cell phone
Turned on in my purse by the bed
And before I fall asleep
I guess I’ll just check my machine
Again and again because I’m
Obsessing on you
[Chorus]
I wanna be your babydoll
Wrap me up nice and tight
Love me all through the night
Come lay me down
Enfold me in your arms
Cover me with velvet kisses
Rock me on and on and whisper softly to me:
“You wanna be my babydoll”
[Verse 2]
Zoning out, thinking about you and me between the sheets
I wanna get intimate, but you’re not within my reach
So I’ll have a little more wine
And I’ll try to drink you out of my head
And I’ll lay awake awhile
‘Til I’m high enough I can
Forget all about you until
I wake up again
[Outro]
Still layin’ up in bed, it’s 3:27
My body’s lonely
Why ain’t ya callin’?
I’m ready for ya, boy don’t you know it?
Ooooh, you can ring my bell
Ring my bell, my bell
I wanna be your babydoll
Don’t you wanna be my babydoll?
I wanna be your babydoll
