[English]

The night we met I knew I needed you so

Que se clavo como una flecha en mi corazon

So won't you say you love me

I'll make you so proud of me

Ya no quiero nunca escaparme de tu amor

Si quieres tu

(Be myb be my baby) be my little baby

(I want it only say) say you'll be my darling

(Be my, be my baby) be my baby now

Ooh, ohh, ohh, oh

Puedes estar seguro

Que te hare feliz

Y que mis besos serán solo para ti

Oh, since the day I saw you

I have been waiting for you

You know I will adore you

Till eternity

Si quieres tu

(Be my, be my baby) be my little baby

(I want it only say) sabes que te amo

(Be my, be my baby) be my baby now

Ooh, ohh, ohh, ohh, oh

(Be my, be my baby) be my little baby

(I want it only say) sabes que te amo

(Be my, be my baby) be my baby now

Ooh, ohh, ohh, oh

Si juras que me amas

Prometo ser tu dama

Y amarte para siempre

Mas alla de la razon

Si quieres tu

(Be my, be my baby) be my little baby

(I want it only say) sabes que te amo

(Be my, be my baby) be my baby now

Ooh, ohh, ohh, ohh, oh

Come on, come on

Si quieres tu...

(Be my, be my baby) be my little baby

(I want it only say) say you'll be my darling

(Be my, be my baby) be my baby now

Ooh, ohh, ohh, oh
