Darin, Bobby - I'll Be Your Baby Tonight Lyrics






Close your eyes, close the door
You don't have to worry anymore
Cause I'll be your baby tonight

Shut the light, pull the shade
You don't have to be afraid
Cause I'll be your baby tonight

Gimme a littl' time

Mockingbird is gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
Big, old moon is gonna shine like a spoon
We're gonna let it
You won't regret it

Littl' girl kick your shoes off, have no fear
Bring that bottle over here
And I'll be your baby tonight

Gimme a littl' room

Mockingbird is gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
Big, old moon is gonna shine like a spoon
We're gonna let it
You won't regret it

Littl' girl kick both them shoes off, have no fear
Bring your warm self over here
And I'll be your baby tonight

Give me a little time

And I'll be your baby tonight
Don't you take away all my covers
And I'll be your baby tonight

Uuumm...

    Wow Wow!! I’ve listened to this song by several Artists and truly enjoyed every one. BUT I think this is my favorite. He really put his personality into it, just like he does with all his songs. Besides that he made it a great dancing tune, easy to follow every line he sang. You can feel the music and move with it. Thanks for sharing this video.

    From the brilliant mind and pen
    of Bob Dylan

    Close your eyes, close the door
    You don’t have to worry, anymore

    Shut the light, pull the shade
    You don’t have to be afraid
    Cause I’ll be your baby tonight

    Give me a little time

    Mockingbird’s gonna sail away
    We’re gonna forget it
    Big old moon is gonna shine like a spoon
    We’re gonna let it
    You won’t regret it

    Little girl kick your shoes off
    Have no fear
    Bring that bottle over here
    And I'll be your Baby tonight

    Give me a little room

    Mockingbird's gonna sail away
    We’re gonna forget it
    Big old moon is gonna shine like a spoon
    We’re gonna let it
    You won’t regret it

    Little girl kick off them shoes off
    Have no fear
    Bring your own self over here
    And I'll be your Baby tonight

    Just about anyone did it better than Dylan, he was a brilliant talent in song-writing but he could NOT sing! Good to let others perform his brilliant work. Bobby Darin certainly could!

    Sensational, a very seductive and tender version of this beautiful song.....
    Over the years I have heard many other artists sing it but of them all Bobby Darin's is the one that hits you so deep with in your heart and soul, it always makes me cry.....
    Bobby always sang with such emotional warm rich heart and soul felt vocals that touch deeply, if you have soul you can not help but be moved.....
    Remembering Bobby's 80th birthday was sad him not being here, but in spirit he was all around the place..... You are missed, remembered and very much loved Bobby RIP !!!

    This is one of the best songs Bob Dylan has ever sung...of the John Wesley Harding album. Great steel guitar in that Dylan version too (Pete Drake).

    w.... ....

    Rita Coolidge also recorded this song - a b it more sultry though.

  69. D.... H....

    This is the first time I have heard this song....and I absolutely love it !!  I have yet to hear Bobby Darin sing any song that I don't like.  He has a way of making you feel like any song is coming from his heart and that you are right there with him.  Awsome entertainer...none better ever!

    D.... H....

    Thanks Deborah for checking out my site and for taking the time to comment.

    D.... H....

  77. g.... ....

    Bobby's rendition of this song is my favorite! As th lady said, it is one of his most seductive songs! He gave 100% of himself into whatever genre of music he was singing! I love that I can listen to him sing country, the blues, the standards, rock and roll, ect. and he does them all beautifully!! He was one of the true entertainers that we don't see the likes of today! So glad I grew up during that period and can still listen and enjoy this music daily!!

  78. J.... H....

    Thank you for visiting my site and for your comment.

  79. S.... C....

    This is probably one of the most seductive songs that I have ever heard him sing. He really sells it. I just wish that there was an actual video of him singing this by himself. He threw his whole body and soul into every song that he sang.

  80. c.... ....

    He first performed the song at the Landmark Hotel in Las Vegas during the summer of 1970. It was his first Las Vegas performance following his self-imposed exile to Big Sur.
    I'm not sure if this particular live performance was recorded during that engagement. He performed the song many times during that year. But what the hey, does it really matter? Bobby understood Dylan's mood and message and that's what matters. His interpretation/rendition was spot on.

  81. J.... H....

    Thank you for visiting my site and for your comment.

  82. J.... B....

    I AGREE 100%

  83. t.... ....

    great song so hard to find good music like this

  84. K.... E....

    So smooth, so sweet, so sexy
