My baby makes me proud, 
Lord don't she make me proud 
She never makes a scene by hanging all over me in a crowd 
'Cause people like to talk, 
Lord, how they love to talk 
But when they turn out the lights, 
I know she'll be leaving with me 

And when we get behind closed doors 
Then she lets her hair hang down 
And she makes me glad I'm a man 
Oh no one knows what goes on behind closed doors. 
My, behind closed doors.

My baby makes me smile, 
Lord don't she make me smile 
She's never too far away or too tired to say 
"I want you" 
She's always a lady, just like a lady should be 
But when they turn out the lights, she's still a baby to me.

And when we get behind closed doors 
Then she lets her hair hang down 
And she makes me glad I'm a man 
Oh no one knows what goes on behind closed doors. 
My, behind closed doors.
