(Busch / Pober)

as recorded by Connie Haines

I'm yours pretty baby,
'Cause I know my pretty baby
Ain't never gonna let me go!

Lemme go!
I'm caught caught caught in a flamin' fire,
And I want my freedom so.
Oh please pretty baby pretty baby pretty baby,
Lemme go!

I'm trapped trapped trapped by my own desire,
Lovin' you from head to toe.
Oh please pretty baby, don't mean maybe pretty baby,
Lemme go!

I'm hooked like a fish, cornered like a fox,
Cooked like a lamb in a stew.
I gotta get away from you,
Or soon I'll go mad,
'Cause I got it bad!

It's yes yes yes every time you kiss me,
Though I wanna tell you no.
I'm yours pretty baby
'Cause I know my pretty baby,
You ain't never gonna let me go!

I'm yours pretty baby, 'Cause I know my pretty baby
Ain't never gonna let me go!

Oh please pretty baby pretty baby pretty baby,
Lemme go!

Because I'm trapped trapped trapped by my own desire,
Lovin' you from head to toe to toe,
Oh please pretty baby, don't mean maybe pretty baby,
Lemme go!
Pretty baby, lemme go!

I'm hooked like a fish, cornered like a fox,
Cooked like a lamb in a stew.
I gotta get away from you,
Or soon I'll go mad,
'Cause I got it bad!

It's yes yes yes every time you kiss me,
Though I wanna tell you no, oh no!
I'm yours pretty baby
'Cause I know my pretty baby
Ain't never gonna lemme go!
I'm yours pretty baby
Because I know my pretty baby
Ain't never gonna lemme go!
