ANSWER: Dear Kimmie,

Sorry for the late reply.

You are right in the first place, BABY DOLL was performed by the Canadian rock band BIG HOUSE.

BIG HOUSE was formed in 1987 by vocalist JAN EK and drummer SJOR THRONDSON. Together with guitarist K.B. BROC and bassist JAY SCOTT KING they released an album in 1991 called BIG HOUSE. BABY DOLL came from this set. Here's how it goes:

BABY DOLL / BIG HOUSE

You want me to be with you
An' take you to parties and bars
You leave me listening to your laughter
And party with all the boys
Na, Na, Na, na now.

And when I take ya home
Ya leave me in the cold
Now I don't like to be used
I don't like being alone at all
Now, Now, Now,  na now.

Oh, wont cha baby?
Oh, will ya baby?

Be my baby doll
Be my baby doll
Be my baby doll
or don't be anything at all

Maybe I am just too young
To understand, what you wish I could
Well maybe you misunderstood
You never understand, what I wish you could
You never understand, what I wish you could
oh yeh....

chorus x1

Be my baby doll (wontcha be mine?)
Be my baby doll (my one and only doll)
Be my baby doll (oh yeh)
or don't be anything at all.

Maraming salamat po!!

Answer
Dear Kimmie,

That would be I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE by THE QUIREBOYS. They are a rock band formed in London in 1984. Originally named as THE QUEERBOYS, they are known in the US as THE LONDON QUIREBOYS. I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE was from their debut album A BIT OF WHAT YOU FANCY from 1990. It went to #24 on the UK Chart. Here's its lyrics:

I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE / THE QUIREBOYS

I went to see her just this morning
To see how the child might be
She sat there smokin all my cigarettes
At a table set for three
I could've cried
I could've cried...When she said

I don't love you anymore
I was slain and shown the door
Ain't no room here anymore
Please don't look to me for help
All the pain is with yourself
All the blame is with yourself

So I went and seen my friends
I tried to turn to them for help
But all that any of them said
You gotta look out for yourself
I could've cried
I could've cried...When she said

I don't love you anymore
I was slain and shown the door
Ain't no room here anymore
Please don't look to me for help
All the pain is with yourself
All the blame is with yourself

Ohhhh
You're all I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Every time I see your face
Reminds me baby of what we had
I get so lonely, Ooooh yeah yeah yeah yeah

All our lives I've been down
Always seemed in emptiness
I say my prayers every night
But even God don't care less, Ohhh yeah
I could've cried
I could've cried...When she said

I don't love you anymore
I was slain and shown the door
Ain't no room here anymore
Please don't look to me for help
All the pain is with yourself
All the blame is with yourself.

Maraming salamat po!!
