    Lyrics »

Oh, baby please - baby please set a date
Baby please - baby please set a date
Don't you wait until tomorrow - 'cause tomorrow may be too late

When I get you in my arms - you know my heart gets full of proud
When I get you in my arms - you know my heart gets full of proud
You whisper daddy, daddy - my love comes tumbling down

break:

Well, I love you so much baby - I love you better than I do myself
Well, I love you so much baby - I love you better than I do myself
Well, if I can't have you baby - I don't want nobody else

Baby please - baby please set a date
Baby please - baby please set a date
Don't you wait until tomorrow - 'cause tomorrow may be too late
