Well the very first time that I saw you there 

you know I couldn't believe my eyes 

I thought I was the winner of the Price is Right 

and they let me keep every prize 



I've never been famous as a ladies man 

I'm not known as a crazy guy 

In fact I've never made the papers over nothin' at all 

I think it's time somebody gave me a try 



Baby, be mine tonight 

and this ol' world will turn out alright 

Just to find you took a whole lifetime 

I could lose you in a minute's time 

Be mine tonight--baby, be mine tonight 

Be mine tonight--baby, be mine tonight 



I don't know if you've ever been in love before, 

but I think this is my very first time 

I wish someone could tell me what my next move is 

I'm afraid I'm falling way behind 



I know you've been around about as much as I have 

When the lights go out we'll see 

You can further your education all your life 

Honey, just don't make a fool out of me 



Baby, be mine tonight 

and this ol' world will turn out alright 

Just to find you took a whole lifetime 

I could lose you in a minute's time 

Be mine tonight--baby, be mine tonight 

Be mine tonight--baby, be mine tonight 



I've been left alone 

I've been on the streets so long 

I feel like I'm falling 

or sinking in quicksand 

Throw me out a line 

Be a special friend of mine 

I would love to take you home, 

if I only had a home 



Baby, be mine tonight 

and this ol' world will turn out alright 

Just to find you took a whole lifetime 

I could lose you in a minute's time 

Be mine tonight--baby, be mine tonight 

Be mine tonight--baby, be mine tonight
