As recorded by JAN GARBER:

Oh, I know my baby loves me
I can tell my baby loves me
For there ain't no maybe in my baby's eyes

Even though she don't express it
She might just as well confess it
For there ain't no maybe in my baby's eyes

We sit each evening and never speak
I wish each evening could last a week

'Cause I know my baby loves me,
I can tell my baby loves me
'Cause there ain't no maybe in my baby's eyes

As recorded by "WHISPERING" JACK SMITH:

My baby never told me exactly how I stand
She even tries to scold me when I hold her little hand
My baby may be bashful, my baby may be shy
But I'm happy, oh, so happy, and I'll tell you why

Oh, I know my baby loves me
I can tell my baby loves me
For there ain't no maybe in my baby's eyes

And even though she don't express it
She might just as well confess it
For there ain't no maybe in my baby's eyes

We sit each evening and never speak
I wish each evening could last a week

For I know my baby loves me
I can tell my baby loves me
For there ain't no maybe in my baby's eyes

Although our conversation is mostly just "Hello"
That certain hesitation ev'ry time I start to go
Her little way of saying that little word "Goodbye"
Makes me happy, oh, so happy, and here's just why

Oh, I know my baby loves me
I can tell my baby loves me
For there ain't no maybe in my baby's eyes

And even though she don't express it
She might just as well confess it
For there ain't no maybe in my baby's eyes

We sit each evening, never speak
But I wish each evening could last a week

For I know my baby loves me
I can tell my baby loves me
For there ain't no maybe in my baby's eyes

Oh I know my baby loves me
I can tell my baby loves me
'Cause there ain't no maybe in my baby's eyes

Even though she don't express it
She might just as well confess it
For there ain't no maybe in my baby's eyes

We sit each evening and never speak
And I wish each evening could last a week

For I know my baby loves me
I can tell my baby loves me
'Cause there ain't no maybe in my baby's eyes
