Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know I can depend on my baby
She's scared of everything I say
And she never puts herself up above me
I'm so happy that it turned out this way
[Chorus]
She's my baby now
I'm so happy now
Baby's happy
[Verse 2]
She give me undivided attention
And it doesn't matter what I say
I could spend my whole life shouting nonsense
It doesn't matter
[Chorus]
She's my baby now
I'm so happy now
Baby's happy
[Bridge]
Some people are just chickens about love
We'll show those chickens what we're made of
We'll show those chickens what we're made of every day
[Verse 3]
She's so completely understanding
And I'm just a natural guy
We never have a misunderstanding
She's got ABBA on the turntable
[Chorus]
She's my baby now
I'm so happy now
Baby's happy
BABY! HAPPY!
BABY! HAPPY!
