Hey, what's a boy to do, ya, ya?

What's a boy to do, baby?
|
What's a boy to do?
|
I wanna be with you, baby
|
I wanna be with you
|
|
Yeah, it's a big old world that we're living
|
With so cruel and crazy ways
|
It's a small little world that we live in
|
It's getting smaller everyday
|
|
I want you next to me, ya ya, say, ya
|
Next to me
|
|
Hey, you come from New Orleans, ya, ya
|
You come from New Orleans, baby
|
You come from New Orleans
|
|
Yeah, you with your boots and jeans, ya, ya
|
You with your boots and jeans, baby
|
You with your boots and jeans
|
|
I know you roll them horses
|
Fast and free when you were somewhere around eighteen
|
Now you look back at New York City
|
Baby, it's a whole 'nother knock down scene
|
|
I want you next to me, ya, ya, say, ya
|
Sitting next to me
|
|
Little girl, you with your long blonde hair baby
|
Little girl, yes, I saw you standing there
|
And I don't stop till I stop, stood and stare
|
|
You in blue bayou, ya, ya
|
You with you blue bayou
|
You with you blue bayou
|
|
Yeah, you got the kisses too, ya, ya
|
You got the kisses too, baby
|
You got the kisses too
|
|
And when I walk with you
|
And when I talk with you
|
I feel like something's surely right
|
I want you close to me and it's supposed to be
|
I mean completely day and night
|
|
I want you next to me, ya, ya, say, ya
|
Next to me, oh woah, woah, woah
|
Next to me, ya, ya, say, ya
|
Next to me
|
Alright, alright, alright, alright
|
Alright, alright, alright
|
