Jeff Barry Jeff Barry became one of the most respected pop songwriters within the Brill Building complex of the '60s, not an easy accomplishment considering the fact that Barry's in-house competition included Neil Diamond, Carol King and Neil Sedaka. With Phil Spector and Ellie Greenwich, he is credited with helping define the 'Girl Group' sound by providing hits for bands like The Dixie Cups and The Ronettes. He went on to produce hits for artists such as The Monkees. He has been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and served as president of the National Academy of Songwriters.

Lyrics
When I'm all grown up, ain't no baby no more
I can do the things I couldn't do before
No more pony tails, I'll wear my hair up high
Because I'm 17, & that's the reason why

CHORUS:
Now I'm all grown up & I'll go where I wanna go
See who I wanna see, stay out late
I'm all grown up & I'll do what I wanna do
Be what I wanna be, gee I can hardly wait

Well I'm goin' on dates every Saturday night
& if he wants a kiss, I might say "All right"
I gotta have me fun & I'll be ready to go
I'm gonna go downtown, I'm gonna fill the floor

(chorus)
(instrumental)
(chorus)

Gee, I can hardly wait
(scat singing, fading out)

Lyrics
Woa-oh, woa-oh oh oh
Have I ever told you
How good it feels to hold you
It isn't easy to explain

And though I'm really trying
I think I may start crying
My heart can't wait another day
When you kiss me I've just got to say

Baby I love you
Come on baby
Baby I love you
Oh-ee baby
Baby I love only you

Woa-oh, woa-oh oh oh
I can't live without you
I love everything about you
I can't help it if I feel this way

Oh I'm so glad I found you
I want my arms around you
I love to hear you call my name
Oh tell me that you feel the same

Baby I love you
Come on baby
Baby I love you
Oh-ee baby
Baby I love only you

Woa-oh, woa-oh oh oh

Come on baby
Baby I love you
Come on baby
Baby I love you

Lyrics
The night we met I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go
So won't you say you love me
I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make 'em turn their heads
Every place we go
So won't you please

Be my little baby
Say you'll be my darling
Be my baby now

I'll make you happy, baby
Just wait and see
For every kiss you give me
I'll give you three
Oh, since the day I saw you
I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you
Till eternity so won't you please

Be my little baby
Say you'll be my darling
Be my baby now

INSTRUMENTAL

Be my little baby
Say you'll be my darling
Be my baby now

Be my little baby
Ooh, ohh...
