Baby! 1928

What's this love stuff they're selling me?
"Stars above" stuff
they're telling me, somehow.
I can guess how it feels
there's a heman upsetting me
"Made for me" man.
Who's getting me!
And I need him more
than I need my meals!

Baby! that wonderful, Yes! Sir!
That marvellous baby's a ruin to me;
Maybe, I wouldn't tell,
Maybe, I couldn't tell,
what that baby's doin' to me!
Still, losin' all my will,
sentimental things fill my mind
Gee! When he kisses me,
I'll agree they're far from refined!
I crave the touch of him,
Can't get too much of him!
Big! Strong! Fine!
Baby of mine!

Baby! that wonderful, Yes! Sir!
That marvellous baby's a ruin to me;
Maybe, I wouldn't tell,
Maybe, I couldn't tell,
what that baby's doin' to me!
Still, losin' all my will,
sentimental things fill my mind
Gee! When he kisses me,
I'll agree they're far from refined!
I crave the touch of him,
Can't get too much of him!
Big! Strong! Fine!
Baby of mine!

There were blue days I worried through,
Nothing new days I hurried through.
I sat like a bump on a log
from above then was sent for me.
New born love that was meant for me:
My man put an end to my monologue;

Baby! that wonderful, Yes! Sir!
That marvellous baby's a ruin to me;
Maybe, I wouldn't tell,
Maybe, I couldn't tell,
what that baby's doin' to me!
Still, losin' all my will,
sentimental things fill my mind
Gee! When he kisses me,
I'll agree they're far from refined!
I crave the touch of him,
Can't get too much of him!
Big! Strong! Fine!
Baby of mine!

Baby! that wonderful, Yes! Sir!
That marvellous baby's a ruin to me;
Maybe, I wouldn't tell,
Maybe, I couldn't tell,
what that baby's doin' to me!
Still, losin' all my will,
sentimental things fill my mind
Gee! When he kisses me,
I'll agree they're far from refined!
I crave the touch of him,
Can't get too much of him!
Big! Strong! Fine!
Baby of mine!

This song came out of a book of George Formby songs yet
the words suggest it might be a song for a female....
