You're A Great Big Blue Eyed Baby 1913

Oh, honey, since I first met you
I know why I have been so blue;
and I know that love is free,
you can plainly see
such a change in me.
My arms are aching to enfold you.
Close to my heart I want to hold you,
but there's something that I haven't told you,
I just can't help loving you.

For you're a great big blue eyed baby!
You're the sweetest thing I know!
And, dearie, oh, oh, oh, oh,
I just like to bet cha, if you linger long,
I'll get cha!
You're a great big blue eyed baby!
I want to pet you like a child of three,
but there is one thing I want understood,
when you're around me,
I just can't be good.
I want to hug and kiss you
like your mama would
her great big, blue eyed baby.

For you're a great big blue eyed baby!
You're the sweetest thing I know!
And, dearie, oh, oh, oh, oh,
I just like to bet cha, if you linger long,
I'll get cha!
You're a great big blue eyed baby!
I want to pet you like a child of three,
but there is one thing I want understood,
when you're around me,
I just can't be good.
I want to hug and kiss you
like your mama would
her great big, blue eyed baby.

I only sleep to dream of you
and all the little things you do.
Ev'ry day brings something new
and you've grown to be
all the world to me.
You'd never know how it would grieve me
if you should ever go and leave me;
hold me close and say that you believe me,
each breath of life, dear, is you!

For you're a great big blue eyed baby!
You're the sweetest thing I know!
And, dearie, oh, oh, oh, oh,
I just like to bet cha, if you linger long,
I'll get cha!
You're a great big blue eyed baby!
I want to pet you like a child of three,
but there is one thing I want understood,
when you're around me,
I just can't be good.
I want to hug and kiss you
like your mama would
her great big, blue eyed baby.

For you're a great big blue eyed baby!
You're the sweetest thing I know!
And, dearie, oh, oh, oh, oh,
I just like to bet cha, if you linger long,
I'll get cha!
You're a great big blue eyed baby!
I want to pet you like a child of three,
but there is one thing I want understood,
when you're around me,
I just can't be good.
I want to hug and kiss you
like your mama would
her great big, blue eyed baby.
