Text
Baby can I take you home, (repeat), I'll love you all my life, you can bet I'll treat you right, If you just let me take you home.	a
Baby can I dance with you, (repeat), I'll do anything in this God almighty world, If you just let me dance with you	b
Oh when I saw you baby, I couldn't ignore you and I wanted you for my girl; Now when you said "yeh" I just couldn't care about anybody else in this world alone; You smiled at me, baby, I, I could see, my life planned out ahead; You took my hand and it felt so good and this is what you said;	c
Baby won't you be my man, (repeat), Yes, I'll be your man and I'll do the best I can, I wanna be your man.	d
