[Verse 1: Smokey Robinson]
Someday maybe my baby will come back home
My hand, will I walk up to her father
And, uh, with a smile, I’ll say
“Come on, let’s talk for a little while”
About your baby, your baby
I love your baby, love your baby, yeah

[Verse 2: Smokey Robinson]
Well, do you dig that?
Her dad’s a big man
He looks mighty rough, but to my surprise
Just the other day I was a, a passing by
And he said, “Hello, son”; I told him “Hi”
I love baby, your baby, I love your baby
Love your baby

[Bridge: Smokey Robinson and (Pete Moore)]
And I know your baby loves me, too
(“You’re crazy”) I’m crazy?
(“Who makes you think that it’s only you?”)
Your baby, your baby

[Verse 3: Smokey Robinson]
The way he was sounding, my heart was pounding
And though I’m not the son-in-law he had in mind
He said, “Do you mean to a, a treat her true?”
And I said, “Dad, yes, indeed I do”
‘Cause I love, love, love, I love your baby
Love your baby
[Bridge: Smokey Robinson and (Pete Moore)]
Well, I know your baby loves me too
Well, maybe; well, maybe
(“Who makes you think that it’s only you?”)
Your baby, your baby

[Verse 4: Smokey Robinson]
Someday, maybe, let me take your baby
Walk down the aisle, say, “Yeah, I do
Take this girl to a, a be my wife
Love and cherish all my life”
Your baby, your baby, I love your baby
Love your baby, yeah

[Outro]
Someday, maybe, let me take your baby
Someday, maybe, let me take your baby
Someday, maybe, let me take your baby
