She'll call me honey, when she needs a helpin' hand,
She might say darlin' if she needs someone who understands
She'll call me sugar, if she's feelin' kind of sweet,
She'll say that I'm crazy over my little jealousy

But when she calls me baby, I just reach for the light,
And I'll hold her like a lady, thank God she's all mine
With her arms around me, I can leave the world behind
When she calls me baby, well, I know what's on her mind

When this life has brought me to my knees,
She's got a way of bring out the man in me

When she calls me baby, I just reach for the light,
And I'll hold her like a lady, thank God she's all mine
With her arms around me, I can leave the world behind
When she calls me baby, well, I know what's on her mind

Oh, when she calls me baby, well, I know what's on her mind
