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
