[Verse 1]
I don't want much
I just wanna be a better man
To my baby, mm-mm
Meet me off for good luck
I was hanging with them Jezebels
Under perfume sheets, mm-mm
Got a golden smile, and a heart overflowing (Doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop)
But got us in love, but it wasn't enough (Doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop)

[Chorus]
What can I do? What can I do?
To get back to your heart
I'd swim the Mississippi River
If you would give me another start, girl

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 2]
All night long I was out (Doo-wop, doo-wop)
Out 'til the morning (Doo-wop, doo-wop)
But baby, you're tender (Doo-wop, doo-wop)
Lost when I'm longing (Doo-wop, doo-wop)
Baby please, I'm down on my knees begging (Doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop)
Ooh, I thirst for you, girl (Doo-wop, doo-wop)
Baby, I'm running to your well (Doo-wop, doo-wop)
[Chorus]
What can I do? What can I do?
To get back to your heart
I'd swim the Mississippi River
If you would give me another start, girl

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
What can I do? What can I do?
To get back to your heart
I'd swim the Mississippi River
What can I do? What can I do?
To get back to your heart
I'd swim the Mississippi River
If you would give me another start, girl

[Outro]
Where all my brown-skinned girls at?
This next one for you
Here we go
