You talk of sweeties bashful sweeties
I've got one of those
Oh he's handsome as can be
But he worries me
He goes to college
And gathers knowledge
Oo, what that boy knows
He's up in his Latin and Greek
But in his chicin' he's weak cause,
When I want some lovin'
And I gotta have some lovin'
He says please stop it please
he's so unusual...
Through the burning sun
And the driving rain
Over the sea
And across the plain
Oh I'll ask you once
And I'll ask you again
Won't you be my love
Won't you be my friend
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well the lights are low
And the hour is late
Don't you want me baby
Through your garden gate
Don't you feel it coming
And it feels so strong
I will never ever ever
Ever do you wrong
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Chorus:
Now the mountain is high
And the river is deep
We always knew
And we hold the key
Violets blue
Roses red
Love you baby
Till I'm dead
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I've got one of those
Oh he's handsome as can be
But he worries me
He goes to college
