Baby Be Mine Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don’t need no dreams when I’m by your side (Ooh)
Every moment takes me to paradise
Darlin’, let me hold you
I’ll warm you in my arms and melt your fears away
Show you all the magic that a perfect love can make
I need you night and day
[Chorus]
So baby, be mine (Baby, you gotta be mine), ooh
And girl, I’ll give you all I got to give
So baby, be my girl (All the time), ooh
And we can share this ecstasy
As long as we believe in love
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh)
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
I won’t give you reason to change your mind
(I can’t sit still, you thrill me, baby, be mine)
You are all the future that I desire
Girl, I need to hold you
Share my feelings in the heat of love’s embrace
Show you all the passion burnin’ in my heart today
It’s never gonna fade
[Chorus]
So baby, be mine (Baby, you gotta be mine), ooh
And girl, I’ll give you all I got to give
So baby, be my girl (All the time), ooh
You’re everything this world could be
The reason that I live, oh
[Bridge]
Won’t you stay with me until the morning sun?
I promise you now that the dawn will be different
Lady, can’t you see that heaven’s just begun?
It’s living here inside our hearts
[Verse 3]
There’ll be no more mountains for us to climb
(I can’t be still, you thrill me, baby, be mine)
This will be a love lasting for all time
Girl, you got to hold me
We can touch the sky and light the darkest day
Hold me, only you and I can make sweet love this way
There’s no more I can say
[Chorus]
So baby, be mine (Baby, you gotta be mine)
(Tell me that you love me all the time)
And girl, I’ll give you all I got to give (Say you’re thinking of me)
So baby, be mine (Girl, be mine, all the time)
(Show me how it should be, hold me tight)
You’re everything this world could be (Every night)
The reason that I live (It’s alright, every night)
[Outro]
Baby, be my girl (Ooh)
(Baby, be mine, tell me that you love me all the time)
And girl, I’ll give you all I got to give
(Say you’re thinking of me, girl, be mine)
So baby, be mine, baby, be mine, ooh
(Show me how it should be, hold me tight)
You’re everything this world could be to me
(Every night, it’s alright)
C’mon, girl, c’mon, girl (Tell me that you love me all the time) Hoo! (Say you’re thinking of me)
So baby, be mine (Show me how it should be)
You’re everything this world could be to me
(Every night, it’s alright)
C’mon, girl, c’mon, girl (Tell me that you love me)
Baby, be mine (Say you’re thinking of me)
So baby, be mine, girl

Song Bio of Baby Be Min By Michael Jackson
Tucked deep in the tracklist of Thriller, “Baby Be Mine” never got the spotlight treatment of “Billie Jean” or “Beat It.” No single release, no iconic video. And yet it’s the song longtime fans quietly point to when they want to hear Jackson at his most sincere. Written by Rod Temperton and shaped under Quincy Jones’ meticulous production, the track is a slow-burning declaration of love, built on warmth rather than spectacle.
The song finds Jackson pleading for devotion in the gentlest way possible. There’s no drama here, no heartbreak to resolve. Just a narrator who’s certain about what he wants and isn’t afraid to say it plainly. That simplicity is exactly what makes it work.
A few things that make “Baby Be Mine” worth revisiting:
- It showcases Jackson’s falsetto at its most intimate, less about vocal acrobatics and more about feeling
- Temperton’s songwriting favors comfort and reassurance over urgency, which sets it apart from Thriller’s flashier singles
- Jones’ production keeps the arrangement lush but restrained, letting the vocal carry the emotional weight
- It’s often cited by musicians as an underrated example of early-80s R&B songwriting
More than four decades after Thriller’s release, “Baby Be Mine” still holds up as proof that Jackson didn’t need a chart-topping hook to make something genuinely moving.
