[Verse 1]
Well, I'm strolling along in the city park
Met that baby standing in the dark
Took that loving baby by the hand
I let her know that I'm her loving man
I let her know that I'm her loving man

[Chorus 1]
That love rubbed off on me
That baby wouldn't let me be
That baby took me by the hand
That baby shook, shook the man
That baby jumped right on me
That love rubbed off on me
Hey, hey

[Verse 2]
I'm a hot-rod fiend for fancy cars
Drive-in movies and her caviar
Big sport coats and a diamond rings
I'm going down to that little thing
I'm going down to that little ol' thing

[Chorus 2]
That stuff rubbed off on me
That baby wouldn't let me be
That lover wouldn't let me go
That woman hollered, "No, no, no"
That baby was the one I crave
That baby followed to my grave
Hey, hey, well
[Verse 3]
Hey, I'm the happiest man and I'm so in love
Well, I even take off my clothes
I like to get and I like to give
I like to love her and I love to live
I give her loving and I love to live

[Chorus 3]
That stuff rubbed off on me
That baby wouldn't let me be
That woman wouldn't let me go
That baby hollered "No, no, no"
That baby took, took my hand
That lover took me from this land
That lover took a hold on me
Ooh, oh let me be
Now, oh, baby take me by the hand
Oh, from this land
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh baby, baby
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
