Pretty Little Baby by Connie Francis Lyrics

Pretty little baby (yeah, yeah)

Pretty little baby (yeah, yeah)

Pretty little baby, you say that maybe

You'll be thinkin' of me, and try to love me

Pretty little baby

I'm hoping that you do

You can ask the flowers, I sit for hours

Tellin' all the bluebirds, the bill and coo birds

Pretty little baby

I'm so in love with you

Now is just the time

While both of us are young

Puppy love must have it's day

Don't cha know it's much more fun to love

While the heart is young and gay

Meet me at the car hop

Or at the pop shop

Meet me in the moonlight

Or in the daylight

Pretty little baby

I'm so in love with you

Now is just the time

While both of us are young

Puppy love must have it's day

Don't cha know it's much more fun to love

While the heart is young and gay

Meet me at the car hop

Or at the pop shop

Meet me in the moonlight

Or in the daylight

Pretty little baby

I'm so in love with you

Pretty little babyI said, pretty little baby

Whoa, now, pretty little baby
