Meaning of the phrase and admiration?

This is extract from Buena Vista Social Club song Chan Chan:
El cariño que te tengo
no te lo puedo negar
se me sale la babita
yo no lo puedo evitar.
As i understand, baba means dribble, babita is its deminutive, so the phrase means slavering over somebody?
Are there more similar phrases in spanish to express admiration?

"Se me sale la babita, yo no lo puedo evitar."
I can't keep from salivating over you. I've never heard it said this way, but I suppose it works. This is obviously more than just admiration, which could simply be spoken, "Te admiro."
And yes, there are many other ways to say something along this line, ie: "Me das ganas," which is similar to the salivate phrase.
