Hey baby, it's been a long while
Baby, baby, been a mighty long time
I watched you, even though you would not see, baby
(Check it)
Glad to see you still so fine and
I remember you back when
Girl, you blew my mind and
I saw you, even though you would not see
Lady, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby, baby
Be as you are
Girl, it's okay with me
'Cause you're such a star
Maybe one day you'll see
That whatever you are
I'm just hoping you'll be, as my girl (my girl)
Oh, I need to be back
Back by your side
Sugar, back way back when
Kissing was a crime and
I miss you and I know you miss me
Baby, oh
Baby, baby, baby
Be as you are
Girl, it's okay with me
'Cause you're such a star
Maybe one day you'll see
That whatever you are
I'm just hoping you'll be, as my girl, girl, girl
♪
Baby girl, showing off causing me laughter
You're my world (my world)
Paradise from disaster (as precious as a pearl)
How's about you and me ever after as my girl?
Be as you are
Girl, it's okay with me
'Cause you're such a star
Maybe one day you'll see
That whatever you are
I'm just hoping you'll be, as my girl (my girl)
