Verse 1:

Talk about your famous love affairs,
Romeo and Juliet had theirs;
I just found someone and someone found me,
We're not very famous, but who cares?

Chorus 1:

I love my baby, my baby loves me,
Don't know nobody as happy as we;
She's only twenty and I'm twenty-one;
We never worry, we're just havin' fun.
Sometimes we quarrel and maybe we fight,
But then we make up the following night.
When we're together, we're great company,
I love my baby, my baby loves me.

Chorus 2:

I love my baby, my baby loves me,
We're hotsy-totsy, why shouldn't we be?
She gives me kisses, each one is a smack;
But you should hear 'em when I give 'em back.
She bought a cookbook, she's learning to bake,
I like her coffee, it keeps us awake.
We wash the dishes from seven to three,
I love my baby, my baby loves me.

Verse 2:

Though we've known each other just a year,
I'm not gonna lose her, never fear;
Pa says I'm foolish and Ma says so, too,
'Cause each ev'ning, this is what they hear:
