I wanna be loved by you, bayou baby

Nobody else but you bayou baby

I searched this world from end to end

I finally found where I should've always been

Right by you, bayou baby

I followed the wind from town to town

Never had a mind of settling down

Falling in love just wasn't my style

But that was before I saw your smile

I wanna be loved by you, bayou baby

Nobody else but you, bayou baby

I searched this world from end to end

I finally found where I should've always been

Right by you, bayou baby

Gonna make my mark, stake my claim

Live right here till my dying day

Close as I can to wherever you are

Till the day comes I win your heart

I wanna be loved by you, bayou baby

Nobody else but you, bayou baby

I searched this world from end to end

I finally found where I should've always been

Right by you, bayou baby

Say I wanna be loved by you, bayou baby

Nobody else but you, bayou baby

I searched this world from end to end

I finally found where I should've always been

Right by you, bayou baby

Everybody now

I wanna be loved by you, bayou baby

Nobody else but you, bayou baby

I searched this world from end to end

I finally found where I should've always been

Right by you, bayou baby

Talkin' out right by you, bayou baby

Right up against you girl, bayou baby
