I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Close your eyes, close the door
Ya' don’t have to worry anymore
I’ll be your baby tonight

[Verse 2]
Shut the light, shut the shade
Ya' don’t have to be afraid
I’ll be your baby tonight

[Bridge]
Well, that mockingbird’s gonna sail away
We’re gonna forget it

That big, fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon
But we’re gonna let it
You won’t regret it

[Verse 3]
Kick your shoes off, do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I’ll be your baby tonight

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
