Cherry Baby Lyrics

I've been trying for a long, long time
Just to capture you inside a rhyme
And to keep you here inside with me
Till they say that I can be set free.

Oh, don't you know
I'm never gonna ever let you go,
'Cause you're so sweet, I've got to have you, Cherry,
Cherry baby,
Cherry,
Cherry, oh yeah,
Cherry, Cherry baby,
Cherry, Cherry, oh.

When the master key has locked the gate
I lay down my weary head and wait.
My dreams fly across the endless miles,
Then I see your precious eyes a while.

And oh, can't you see
You're never gonna get away from me,
'Cause you're so sweet, I've got to have you, Cherry,
Cherry baby,
Cherry,
Cherry, oh yeah,
Cherry, Cherry baby,
Cherry, Cherry, oh.

Till they say that I am free and clear,
This old heart of mine will keep you near.
I just pray you won't forget me here,
'Cause you're my soul, my pretty little Cherry,
Cherry baby,
Cherry,
Cherry, oh yeah,
Cherry, Cherry baby,
Cherry, Cherry, oh.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Yeah, I'm probably the only person on this site that even remembers this song. But it's stood the test of time. It's from the POV of a guy in prison who misses his girlfriend and uses the thought of her to keep his spirits up until his release.

My friends and I didn't want to sing "Cherry" because why would a girl sing to a girl? (OK, it was in the 70s, give me a break.) So we sang "Jerry" instead of "Cherry."

Anyway, if you've never heard this song, take a listen, it's a pretty good rocker.
