I'm really worried
about you dearie
you look so sad and blue,
Tho' you won't say
what makes you feel that way
I know what's wrong with you.

I know that you are just
a great big lonesome baby
you're just a baby
you wouldn't fool me dear
no matter how you try
for in your eye
I see that baby stare.
The one I know was there
when you were a baby
a running to mother
when your brother made you cry
and now you want someone
to treat you like a baby
just like a baby
I maybe just the one
you think will do
I hope that's true
and if lovin' does you good
I'll love you like a mother would
'cause you're a great big lonesome baby
maybe I can baby you.

I know that you are just
a great big lonesome baby
you're just a baby
you wouldn't fool me dear
no matter how you try
for in your eye
I see that baby stare.
The one I know was there
when you were a baby
a running to mother
when your brother made you cry
and now you want someone
to treat you like a baby
just like a baby
I maybe just the one
you think will do
I hope that's true
and if lovin' does you good
I'll love you like a mother would
'cause you're a great big lonesome baby
maybe I can baby you.

I wish that you were my lonesome baby
I'll be so good and kind
You'd be the boss
and tho' you might get cross
I'm sure I would not mind.

I know that you are just
a great big lonesome baby
you're just a baby
you wouldn't fool me dear
no matter how you try
for in your eye
I see that baby stare.
The one I know was there
