Honey dear, want you near
Just turn down the light and then come over here
Nestle close up to my side
My heart's afire with love's desire
In my arms, rest complete
I never thought that life could ever be so sweet
Till I met you, some time ago
But now I know I love you so
Oh, you beautiful doll
You great, big beautiful doll
Let me put my arms about you
I could never live without you
Oh, you beautiful doll
You great, big beautiful doll
If you ever leave me, how my heart will ache
I want to hug you, but I fear you'd break
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh, you beautiful doll
Precious prize, close your eyes
Now we're goin' to visit Lovers' Paradise
Press your lips again to mine
For love is king of ev'rything
Squeeze me, dear! I don't care!
Hug me just as if you were a grizzly bear
This is how I'll go through life
No care or strife when you're my wife
Oh, you beautiful doll
You great, big beautiful doll
Let me put my arms about you
I could never live without you
Oh, you beautiful doll
You great, big beautiful doll
If you ever leave me, how my heart will ache
I want to hug you, but I fear you'd break
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh, you beautiful doll
