"Kiddio" was later released as a single by Brook Benton in 1960. Randazzo and Benton both recorded for RCA's Vik label.[2] The single was the fourth time in a year that Brook Benton had topped the R&B charts. However, two of those times, he'd hit number one with duet partner, Dinah Washington. "Kiddio" also continued Brook Benton's popularity on the pop charts by making it his fifth top-ten pop single

I told you, baby, how I feel
One word can close this deal
Baby, be my queen of hearts
Please gimme that love you've got

A won't you say yes? Don't you say no
Make me feel good, kiddio

Maybe I'm just wastin' time
Can't get you off my mind
You could make me feel so good
I know you could if you only would

A won't you say yes? Don't you say no
Make me feel good, kiddio

I wrote you a six page letter
I called you on the phone
But you started talkin' 'bout the weather
Kiddio, don't you know that's wrong?

I can't stand this playin' 'round
Help me up, don't let me down
Kiss me baby, tell me so
If you love me let me know

A won't you say yes? Don't you say no
Make me feel good, kiddio

I wrote you a six page letter
I even called you on the phone
But you started talkin' 'bout the weather
Kiddio, don't you know that's wrong?

I can't stand this playin' 'round
Help me up, don't let me down
A kiss me baby, tell me so
If you love me, let me know

A won't you say yes? Don't you say no
Make me feel good, kiddio

Make me feel so ohh good, so, so good, kiddio
