[1st verse:] See those sweethearts They've just been married, they'll be leaving soon They're getting ready to begin a lifelong honeymoon See the old folks crowding around them Gladness fills the room Just hear the bride's old mother Whispering to the groom [Refrain:] Treat her like a baby, for she's only a baby When you take her with you, lad You are taking all we had I know she'll be a comfort to you like she's always been to me So do be kind and keep unhappiness away And when you find her golden hair is turning gray Continue to treat her like a baby [2nd verse:] See those sweethearts Rocking a cradle with a baby boy After a year of wedded bliss, he came to bring them joy Listen to them planning his future Hear his father say "I picture some girl's mother Saying to him someday" [Double version:] I would like to marry you, honey -You don't mean it, dear Honest and truly, won't you have me? -You won't do, I fear I've saved up a bundle of money -Love you cannot buy How can I make you love me? -Dear, would you like to try? Yes -Treat me like a baby You'll grow tired of it maybe -Baby names just set me wild I think you're a spoiled child -At night when I grow tired and weary I'll hold you on my knee -And while I sleep I'll keep the "boogie-man" away -I'll never weep And when your hair is turning gray -Continue to treat me Like a baby
