  • Early in the morning, I'm still in bed
    She comes to me with sweet affection
    Wakes me with kisses, hello sleepyhead
    Gets me moving in the right direction
    I do my best to give her love that lasts forever
    It seems like everything I do I'm doing better

    Doing it all for my baby
    Because she's as fine as she can be
    I'm doing it all for my baby
    For everything she does for me

    Later in the evening, it's been a busy day
    She lays her head upon my weary shoulder
    Listen to her laughing, snuggle up and say
    Now I'm with you baby, the loneliness is over
    I do my best to give her love that lasts forever
    It seems like everything I do I'm doing better

    Doing it all for my baby
    'Cause she's as fine as she can be
    Doing it all for my baby
    For everything she does for me

    Doing it all for my baby
    Because she's as fine as she can be
    I'm doing it all for my baby
    For everything she does for me

    Doing it, doing it
    Doing it, doing it, doing it, yeah

    Doing it, doing it
    Ooh, ooh, ooh

    Doing it, doing it, doing it
    Doing it, doing it, doing it, yeah

    Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it
    Ooh, ooh, ooh

    Doing it all for my baby
    Doing it all for my baby
    Doing it all for my baby
    She's as fine as she can be
    Doing it all for my baby
    Doing it all for my baby
    She's so fine Writer/s: Gary Michael Duke, Philip Cody
