INTRO

Baby, here I stand before you, with my little heart in my hand, I want you t' read it, mama, hoping that you'll understand
Hey-ey, baby, mama, please don't dog me around
Now-ow, I'd rather love you, darling, than anyone else I know in town

Baby, you so nice and lovin', you got such pleasant ways, if you take me into your home, babe, I'll be there all my days
That's the truth, mama, ooh, you know I wouldn't lie
If I don't love you, mama, I'll swear I'd love to die (Spoken: Look-a-here, man)

Hey-ey-ey, baby, don't you want a man like me? (Spoken: Knock me out, man. What you gonna do?)
Hey-ey, baby, ohh, don't you want a man like me? (Spoken: Now that's the jive)
Hey, you just think about your future, and forget about your used-to-be

When my days are long and dreary, and the sun refuse to shine, babe, I wouldn't be blue and lonely, if I knew that you were mine
Eeee, baby, will you make everything all right?
Can I have you right now, mama, or will it be tomorrow night?

This is my confession, mama, and I'm thrilled by all your charms, but it seems that I'm in Heaven when you hold me in your arms
Aaaa, baby, ooo, you can have me for yourself
Nooo, you were meant for me, mama, I don't want nobody else
