Baby, here I am
I'm a man on the scene
I can give you what you want
But you got to go home with me
I’ve a got some good old lovin'
And I got some in store
When I get through throwin' it on you
You got to come back for more
Boys and things will come by the dozen
But that ain't nothin' but drug store lovin'
Pretty little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now, Yessir ‘am
Action speaks louder than words
And I'm a man with a great experience
I know you got you another man
But I can love you better than him
Take my hand, don't be afraid
I wanna prove every word I say
I'm advertisin' love for free
So won't you place your ad with me
Boys will come a dime by the dozen
But that ain't nothin' but ten cent love'
Pretty little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now, Yessir ‘am
Baby, here I am
I'm a man on the scene
I can give you what you want
But’s you come go home with me
I’ve a got some good old lovin'
And I got ‘t there in store
When I get through throwin' it on you
You got to come back for more
Boys will come a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drug store love
Pretty little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now, Yessir ‘am
Give to me
I got to have it
gimme some good ‘ol lovin’
someone should know good loving
Im a big old man mama!
but i’m too hard!
