Darling, can’t you see
What your loving means to me?
Well, I am just an orphan girl
Living in a lonely world
And I’m hoping, hey

Well, darling, can’t you say
You will be my man to stay?
Oh this old world is going down
And I’m not trying to mess around
I’m just waiting, hey

Shu-hop, shu-wa-wa
Shu-hop, shu-wa-wa
Ooh ohh

Walk across a lake of fire
Get so high, couldn't get much higher
Oh I’m going down to Rosemarie's
She's got what it takes to satisfy me
And I’m hungry, hey

Darling, can’t you see
What your loving means to me?
Oh I've been up and I've been down
Oh I've been so low I was underground
Now I'm waiting, hey
