Lyrics[]
Baby, baby, huh
I’m growing up
I find my way
Doing my thing
Making my hay
Learning how to be a man
Living large
Who’s in charge
Yes you are, superstar
That’s the only way I can
I’ve had hits and I’ve had misses
Practice kisses
Uh uh baby
Baby baby baby
Practice kisses
Uh uh baby
Hiding out in my crib
You know that’s what it is
Up in lights on the marquis
Every day, who I am
9 to 5, Superman
Baby come and fly with me
I’ve had hits and I’ve had misses
Practice kisses
Uh uh baby
Baby baby baby
Practice kisses
Uh uh baby
