Pretty Baby
Sweet Serenade of Love: Dean Martin's Pretty Baby Revealed
Lyrics
Everybody loves a baby
Expressing a universal affection for babies
That's why I'm in love with you
Stating a personal affection for the addressed person
Pretty baby, pretty baby
Reiterating admiration for the addressed person as a "pretty baby"
And I'd like to be your sister
Expressing a desire to be close, akin to family
Brother, dad and mother too
Extending the desire to be a sister, brother, dad, and mother to the addressed person
Pretty baby, pretty baby
Reaffirming admiration for the addressed person as a "pretty baby"
Won't you come and let me
Inviting the addressed person to be embraced in a loving manner
Rock you in my cradle of love?
Expressing a desire to care for and nurture the addressed person
And we'll cuddle all the time
Emphasizing the intention to share affectionate moments together
Oh, I want a lovin', baby
Expressing a longing for love and specifying the desired recipient
And it might as well be you
Affirming the addressed person as the preferred object of affection
Pretty baby of mine
Reiterating the affection and endearment towards the addressed person
Everybody loves a baby
Repeating the sentiment that everyone loves babies
That's why I'm in love with you
Reaffirming personal love for the addressed person as a "pretty baby"
Pretty baby, pretty baby
Expressing continued admiration for the addressed person's beauty
And I'd like to be your sister
Repeating the desire to be close, akin to family
Brother, dad and mother too
Extending the desire to be a sister, brother, dad, and mother to the addressed person
Pretty baby, pretty baby
Reaffirming admiration for the addressed person as a "pretty baby"
Won't you come and let me
Reiterating the invitation to be embraced and loved
Rock you in my cradle of love?
Expressing a desire to provide comfort and love in a metaphorical cradle
And we'll cuddle all the time
Highlighting the intention to share affectionate moments continuously
Oh, I want a lovin', baby
Reiterating the longing for love and specifying the desired recipient
And it might as well be you
Affirming the addressed person as the preferred object of affection
Pretty baby of, pretty baby of
Repeating the affectionate term "Pretty baby" as a closing expression of endearment
Pretty baby of mine
Concluding the sentiment with a possessive term, emphasizing the personal connection
