My baby, she may not look
|
Like one of those bunnies out of the Playboy book
|
Well, I'm sorry bout that, Mr. Williams
|
But she's got something,
|
Johnny, much greater than gold
|
Well, now what's that?
|
I'm crazy 'bout that girl,
|
She's got so much soul
|
|
She's got the kind of loving, kissin' and a-huggin'
|
Sure is mellow, glad that I'm her fellow
|
And I know that she knocks me off my feet
|
Have mercy on me!
|
'Cause she knocks me off my feet
|
Can you dig it?
|
|
There is no girl in the whole world
|
That can love me like you do - ow!
|
Tell 'em bout it, Watson
|
|
My baby now, when she walks by
|
All the fellows go '~~~', and I know why
|
Have mercy, just look at her walk
|
It's simply because that girl, she walks so fine
|
And if she ever leave me, I will lose my mind
|
|
Because she's got the kind of lovin',
|
Kissin' and a-huggin'
|
Sure is mellow, glad that I'm her fellow
|
And I know that she knocks me off my feet
|
Have mercy on me!
|
'Cause she knocks me off my feet
|
I'd better tell 'em one more thing
|
|
There is no girl in the whole world
|
That can love me like you do
|
Ow, tell 'em bout it, Mr. Williams
|
|
Now everybody in my neighborhood
|
An' that's what's grooving me
|
Will testify that my girl, she looks so good
|
Well, let me tell you something else right here
|
She looks so fine, she give eyesight to the blind
|
Help 'em to make 'em see
|
And if she ever leave me, I will lose my mind
|
|
Because she's got the kind of lovin',
|
Kissin' and a-huggin'
|
Sure is mellow, glad that I'm her fellow
|
And I know that she knocks me off my feet
|
Have mercy on me!
|
'Cause she knocks me off my feet
|
Can you dig it?
|
|
There is no girl in the whole world
|
That can love me like you do
|
Mercy, mercy, mercy!
