As recorded by BOBBY DARIN
(recorded July 1958, but not released till September 1960):


When I was little, my Mama said to me
Someday you'll find a love to last eternally
I want you with me
Everywhere I go, ooh-ooh-ooh
Please don't leave me
You know I love you so

I'll be the ruler of this whole wide world
If you'll only say you'll be my girl
I want you with me
In everything I do, whoa
Ooh-ooh, you know I need you baby
You know I'm in love with you

There is no mountain that I can't climb
Find me the mountain, child, I'll find the time
I want you with me
Every day of my life, ooh-ooh-ooh
You know you can make me happy
Baby, won't you be my wife

(Instrumental Break)

I'll swim an ocean with a ragin' foam
If I know you'll be there when I come back home
I want you with me
You know I love you so, ooh-ooh-ooh 
Yes, I want you with me baby
Everywhere I go

You know, you know, I want you with me
Yeah, yeah, I love you so, ooh-ooh-ooh
Well, I want you with me baby
Everywhere I go

I want you with me (I want you with me, I want you with me) 
Well, I want you with me, baby, I'll never let you go
