Lyrics The Marvelettes

The Marvelettes

Here I Am Baby

Here I am baby, the one who swore to never yield

Here I am baby, the one who swore to play the field

Said I wouldn't let no man tie me down, not a single one now

Wasn't gonna give my heart to a mother's son now

Many a day I proudly stated, the man for me ain't been created

But here I am baby, the one who was so love-defiant

Here I am baby, the one who was so self-reliant

Said I wouldn't need men or nothin' else; I'd be independent

Make a fortune all my own, I'd know how to spend it

I'd be so stationary, love would be unnecessary

But here I am

Here I am, baby baby baby, you want me & I do concede

Here I am, baby baby baby, I find you're what I really need

Say you've got me hangin' on a string, don't you let me drop now

Since you started lovin' me, don't you ever stop now

Don't wanna be loved by another, I ain't goin' another further

Here I am, baby baby baby, take me 'cause I'm yours alone

Here I am, baby baby baby, yours to call your very own
